Yeah, that's a couple days old at this point.

Sorry, I just saw it today. Go Rhody.

Just do not see a sign of remorse. This is a coach that took a year off to get him straight. Personally I think he should have gone into broadcasting. His grade this year is a solid “F”.

BruceW

Hey guys. Serious question. Do you think Archie is feeling it and might be receptive to a reduced buyout ? Probably not. Archie's URI compensation is about to dramatically escalate. His salary jumps $500K in year 3 which I believe may start after the two year contract signing anniversary of March 1...

BruceW

And the problem has a name. It’s Archie.

BruceW

Montgomery was lethargic and distant . He watched things happen rather than respond. Oh my. Don’t know what Kortright was thinking at the end. The same things that have plagued us all year. They reared their ugly head again. Opponents offensive rebounding , foul shooting and not guarding against 3 p...

BruceW

Dubsky has a stat sheet 1 rebound, 1 block and 0 steals in 72 minutes. That might be true but statistics are deceiving. Most of the 72 minutes until recently were played during a “ garbage time” scenario. This kid might blossom.

BruceW

Another pathetic first half. VCU looks like a “good college basketball team “. Rhode Island looks like a “mediocre high school team”. Dubsky has he now passed Cam in the rotation ? Sorry my Rhody friends but expect a lot more from Archie Miller. As I said previously he is the problem.

BruceW

No I am not a “clown” but can only wonder why so many on this board ridiculed responses. The opinion expressed is but one person’s. You don’t have to like it. And it’s okay if you don’t. But name calling and acting as if only a few people are allowed to offer a viable opinion. I think not. It’s pro...

ARCHIE IS THE PROBLEM !!! At this time of the year college basketball players are thinking about two things. Either a post season run. Or where am I going to play next year. The signs are always there and usually very evident. Concerning our Rhody Rams when the spectators are talking about how many ...

BruceW

Well look at the Big 10. They added more and more.

BruceW

Hi ramster, yes I believe the conference is marred in a geographic sense and must add at least an Atlanta area school. Atlanta along with Chicago will automatically upgrade this conference.

BruceW

Concerning the merits of the A-10 debate. The conference wanted to have a more national presence. By having a team in Chicago they opened up a previously untapped market. Not just for exposure but also for recruiting. I am very surprised that they have not added 2 more teams yet. I foresee Atlanta a...

BruceW

Just wanted to express my appreciation for the game summaries. They are always interesting. Thank you and please keep up the great work.

BruceW

Interesting topic and certainly very timely as well. Basketball players can always grab a ball and practice shooting. From all angles too. But without the ball it’s hard to practice defense. What it takes is discipline. Those that have it will succeed.

BruceW

It seems to me that in the last three big number losses there have been an alarming number of offensive put backs. The reasons range from standing around to no movement and lack of communication. When he is out there David Green looks confident defensively while no one else does. This would definite...

BruceW

Well my fellow Rhode Island Basketball fans. At this point of the season this is my reasoning for the recent failures. If you watch Archie Miller as much as you possibly can during a game. I think you’ll agree that the man NEVER smiles. Now think of Baron. He was angry at everything. David Cox was u...

BruceW

What I didn’t understand. When the second half started we had Brown, Fuchs, Montgomery, House and Kortright. Zeb is playing with zero confidence. Brown must have butter on his fingers. Seemingly every time someone throws a pass towards him he turns it over more then making a play. Green today looked...

BruceW

Watched the entire second half of this game. The ladies were outstanding and then some. Score was tied at 29 at halftime. Third quarter the lady’s out scored St Bonnie’s with a brilliant team performance. 65-41 final score. Tammi got them going. They looked great. Go Rhody !!!!

BruceW

Archie KNOWS which players will provide quality minutes. What he can not predict is their mentality. David Fuchs looks like a different more mature player since his return. Luis took his benching and turned it into a huge positive.Now enter David Green in the mix and POOF the chemistry changes. The ...

BruceW

Ramster, we just moved back to Atlanta to be closer to our children. Go Rhody

BruceW

Hello all my fellow Rhody “bluehards” (pun intended.
Here’s wishing everyone a Joyous Holiday season as well as a Happy & Healthy New Year. Go Rhody.

BruceW

Hi everyone and Happy Holidays to all. After watching the latest games against Brown and College of Charleston. Many viewpoints have surfaced. I personally have never been an Archie Miller fan. Always thought his was an excellent X’s and O’s coach. But that alone is just a part of what a head coach ...

BruceW

Fuchs is being out classed. Both yesterday and today. He looks lost out there.

BruceW

Hey guys, Bruce here. Been away for a while as I had an unexpected surgery that left me completely paralyzed from the waist down. That was done in April and fortunately I am some what better now as I can stand but can not walk. Been living in rehab hospitals since April. Trying to catch up some on t...

BruceW

People on the this board. Please let it be known I really am my own person. I am not masquerading as someone else. Yes I proudly am a graduate of URI. And absolutely love watching their games as well as gaining insight. If the people on this board did not care for my post then I’m sorry. Would a Bot...

BruceW

I think perhaps some of my point is not being considered. If you are so quick to dismiss Brayan for his shortcomings. ( and I do believe the depth of knowledge on this board). Then what I’m saying is Archie’s foundation as a coach was was formed in a different perspective. The culture at Dayton was ...

BruceW

Can not say in this day and age I am disappointed. But I immediately have two thoughts. First is focusing solely on Brayan’s future. Suffice to say he is a troubled kid. Talented but troubled. In my humble opinion I believe he deserves better. I believe he got a raw deal. Which goes to my second poi...

BruceW

I do look in frequently and read numerous comments. But selectively offer my own opinion. I will add as an observation there was a time when upon submitting a post. There were some people that ridiculed and or attacked my comments. I am talking years back. I suspect those people are gone. And now th...

BruceW

Very excited to see this game in person. I live in NJ. Our backcourt has been playing outstanding. When the coach favors going small at crunch time. That tells me he knows that he has a shorter team that will get it done. Malik is the muscle inside. And when you have guards that are as rugged as Ish...

BruceW

I don’t think the answer is at this point how many games will be won. But rather why are the front court players no getting it done. Martin has been a non entity the last few games. Much hesitation and fewer rebounds. The middle was picked apart by George Mason’s center. No question Ish and Freeman ...

BruceW

Weighing in on the current topic the biggest word that perhaps that I have have not seen mentioned is maturity. There is a big difference with a transfer vs a in-coming freshman. The learning curve of how to handle not just basketball but academic responsibilities can be very challenging at first fo...

BruceW

My focus is on winning games of course. But on the recruiting track Archie must bring in at least one preferably two 4 star recruits. It’s time. The trail is enormous where Rhody plays to pick from as starters. I’m very excited to hear who will be coming to Kingston next year. Best regards.

BruceW

The attendance at the game had to be under 2,000 people in the building. URI had about 250 people maybe more. Most people living in and around Atlanta.

BruceW

You might want to leave now to make tipoff. Traffic there is worse than LA. If you haven't ever toured the Fox theatre it's worth the effort to get there! I previously lived in Atlanta for over 30 years my friend. I know ATL traffic quite well. Go Rhody traffic will not be bad being a Sunday and Fa...

BruceW

At game now. Stadium is new an clean. And empty. Trying to add pictures can’t seem to figure out how. If someone emails me I can send them pictures. Thanks

Hi everyone. Wondering if tickets for this game are available via URI. They have one visitor section behind the bench. Thanks. I live in South Jersey. Going to LaSalle & St Joseph’s games. Also Georgia State in Atlanta.

BruceW

The post I wrote was addressing Archie building a team. That goes hand in hand with recruiting.

BruceW

So Archie is building a team. I get that. Bringing in some real talent. All I will say is next year. Jalen Carey will have a break out year. He is ready and Archie will develop him well. The backcourt will be Jalen and the transfer from Setan Hall. I think it will be a very good one. Time will tell.

BruceW

Two thoughts that are paramount in my mind concerning the team. The Mitchell’s have been completely undisciplined and left to run wild. How else can we explain they are leading the league in technical fouls. Second at some point in the season David Cox gave up on the team and boy does it show. It hu...

BruceW

This may have already been answered. Will Bozeman be given any consideration should Cox be fired ? Or Thor will start anew ? Thank you

BruceW

Cox started out of the gate as a “Hurley” and progressed to now being a “Baron”. That suffice to say is not good. Don’t understand why Cox is so Hell bent on not changing starters and rotation. He constantly started that 4 star forward previously that played like a 2 star. Now he will not sit the tw...

BruceW

I heard on the last game-cast that Carey had a concussion and was day to day.

BruceW

Hi everyone and happy holidays to all. My concern thus far in the season is with the backcourt. Leggett has been under productive. El-Amin has not been consistent. Sheppard is a good three point shooter but his defense is spotty. And every time Thomas gets in I hold my breath. What I am not understa...

BruceW

Having watched the team thus far into the season. Here is my two cents. David Cox did a credible job in finding a rotation that worked. It took a few games but things were progressing. Then the 3-2 Rams drop three straight games. The rotation was the same till last nights game. I will say that in wa...

BruceW

Restrictions would be counterproductive. Losing Tate hurt the front court depth. If Tate was there then yes Harris would get 8 minutes.
