What was fascinating was how good UConn guards were on both defense and offense. This was masterful display of the UConn's staff's understanding of how to play Edey and limit the three point shooting of Purdue. Purdue guards did not measure up UConn's and they scored a combined 17 points. That does...

Just a great win by UConn and Dan Hurley. He built a balanced team centered around Clingan and beat a team that was essentially a one man show. Maybe next a trifecta?

Obadiah

Zach Edey just subtly pushing off the UConn defender to make his lay-up easier for him. He does this repeatedly and gets away with it.

Obadiah

He's a great coach with flaws. You can choose to focus on the flaws, especially if you do not like the man, or look at his coaching skill on a full context basis. Your choice!

Obadiah

Edey had a great first half versus Clingan, but UConn takes a 6 point lead into the locker. Let's go Dan Hurley!

Obadiah

Great win By UConn over the forces of dark and evil. First Yale beat Auburn and now Alabama falls. So nice to see New England teams beat back two Southern football obsessive pseudo universities in a state where the public officials routinely thwart free inquiry and academic freedom.

Obadiah

Awesome domination by UConn to start the second half. This team is a Mad Max machine.

Obadiah

Bravo to Dan Hurley whose UConn team have dominated in the NCAAs so far, winning by 32, 17, and 30. We can bask in some reflected glory of his achievement knowing he got his most important chops at Rhody. Hurley made the right decision in taking the UConn job and going to a place, not only for a bi...

Thats too bad on Zek, he obviously had a rough season, but I still thought there was some potential there. This is one where I'd be real curious to know which side initiated it. Yeah dude was a stud at the beginning of the year. Only got it back for once game. Weirdest thing ever. Thought that he c...

What a run!

What is really interesting is how a devoted URI basketball fan like Blue Man became so wrong on so many items throughout this season especially with an epic failure on the Archie assessment looming.

Obadiah

Tragic ending to Brown as they miss 3 of 4 free throws in the closing seconds as they fall to Yale 62-61. Brown led by 6 with 27 seconds left but clutch threes by Yale took the game.

Obadiah

Mike Martin is the man!

Obadiah

Oak View manages many properties and it's that large number that produces a profit and the amount ascribed to any one property is not large. Asking them for large contribution makes no sense. Any collective dedicated to URI MBB has to be rooted in those that are committed to URI and have strong bond...

Mike Martin

Obadiah

No. This is a lost season. Our major focus should be on the portal and potential changes to roster and staff for next season.

Obadiah

It is not really people saying that URI should drop down. It is people saying that the A-10 is already in decline and would suffer a massive fall if teams such as Dayton and VCU went elsewhere in the future. In that scenario the A-10 would effectively be dropping down to the level of other conferen...

Obadiah

It really makes no sense for anyone thinking we should drop down to a lower conference. Hurley came here specifically because he wanted to get out of a one bid conference. Now some of you think it wouldn’t be a bad idea. What the actual F! It is not really people saying that URI should drop down. I...

Obadiah

50 years of watching I’ve never seen a player get stripped by a defender, the defender dives , gets up and sprints to the ball and takes in for easy lay up. While our “player” jogs/walks after him. Then our “player” doesn’t get pulled for it. I’d rather see the 3 walk ons play than these shit bums....

Obadiah

Reflecting his automotive handle, Kimo Ferrari set a Brown record by pouring in 10 treys in the Bruins win over Dartmouth which gives Brown its first ticket ever to Ivy Madness. Mike Martin is doing a great job as Brown coach and it's nice to see this from a New England native who isn't paid million...

Obadiah

Too much gloom and doom in this thread. Why talk about things that will not happen at all. URI has a rich basketball tradition and even a smaller A-10 will have a more expansive view that what is found in the America East. I simply do not see the A-10, the 8th rated conference in the country ever de...

Obadiah

What I saw in watching last night's Loyola-Dayton game was an enthusiastic, engaged, always standing student section the likes of which I have not seen in years at the Ryan Center.

Obadiah

The UMass fan base may be conflicted over the move to the MAC, but my prediction is that the voices of discontent will only grow in the months ahead. It's fortunate that UMass' most marquee program - hockey - is unaffected by the move, but all those in the Olympic sports, the bulk of the student-ath...

Friday A10 Games: Dayton (-1.5) (22-5) @ Loyola (20-8) ESPN2/ESPN+ 9pm This is the game write up from the Loyola Message Board for tonight’s game. Based on last year some think Dayton fans will have bought up more than half the tickets. StubHub showing about $180 each for a pair of tickets morning ...

What happens to the A-10 in the future is irrelevant because UMass moving to the MAC is a downgrade now and in coming years.

Things could be worse, we could be DePaul.

UMass has made a bad decision that may only help football, but will hurt every other program they offer, especially the other marquee program, MBB. UMass touts itself as the state's flagship institution and will join a conference dominated by state schools, none of which are flagships for their resp...

Obadiah

Knowing how much work goes in to preparing such reviews, I tip my hat to the thoroughness of each one and the dedication you show to URI MBB and the fan base.

Obadiah

Court storming among other facets is an expression of free speech. There is never a need to put asterisks or other qualifying factors to justify it because the implication of that claim is that you only you are the arbiter of good taste. Nothing smacks more of arrogance. These are young college kids...

Obadiah

We are now 1-3 against teams that Blue Man wants to drum out of the A-10. We have a shot at going 1-5. But Blue Man is right in one respect, Loyola has yet to secure a "quality" win.

Obadiah

Loyola much better team all around. The Rams looking confused.

UMass falls at La Salle, 82-81.

Same. People are going to have to live with hyperbole and exaggeration. Sorry, Truepoint, but I’m a fact based person and never use hyperbole, distortion, and exaggeration to make a point. That maybe OK with you, but it is definitely not my mojo I like facts too, but these are rhetorical tools that...

Team has been a big disappointment from the very beginning. The fact that expectations were high for this team makes the lackluster performance all the more troubling. This team is clearly retrogressing!

Obadiah

My problem with Fuchs is he sometimes acts like he's watching the action rather than being an aggressive participant.

Obadiah

Will Green play? Also in the UMass game at Ryan, the Rams shot 14/23 on treys and Matt Cross did not play. Both aspects will not be repeated in tomorrow's game.

Obadiah

Loyola Chicago takes one at GW, 81-73. LUC led most of the game, but GW managed to take the lead with 7 minutes left and built a 7 point margin before the Ramblers recovered their composure and took the lead back to win going away.

Since people were so quick to judge Loyola being a bad add after their last place finish last year, thoughts on them being one of the best teams in conference in Year 2? Like me, Jersey and few others said, impossible to judge after one season. Need to give them more than a year to say whether it w...

Obadiah

You will always have a difficult time when a team shoots lights out like Duquesne did today. Similar to the reason we beat UMass. But add to that the Rams lack maturity and do respond well to adversity, you end with a team that cannot come from behind. We had a 16-7 lead had 4-5 shots to move the ma...

Another twist to the NIL saga. I never heard of Campus Ink before this article. Interesting that if Campus Ink signs a contract with a school all their athletes can have shot at making money. "When Campus Ink adds a school, each athlete — from football to rowing — can sign a contract to sell me...

It looks like UConn will have the "hometown" advantage in a march to the Final Four. Will they capitalize on that situation?

Was never a big fan of Cooley. I recall when PC first hired Cooley, I met in my corporate environment a big Fairfield MBB booster. He was lukewarm over Cooley's tenure at Fairfield saying he never won big games and called him a blowhard. That seemed to be borne out by and large at PC though he did w...

This is a pretty good analysis of the Rams' defense woes.
