Loving the people who now are like “eh, never really wanted Hammond anyways, too short, would've taken too long to develop and adjust, give me a more experienced player” when for MONTHS they were salivating at Hammond coming here. The ole “I didn’t want to date her any longer anyways” after a girl ...

jcru

Isn’t everything a one year fix these days?

Hammond would have been very exciting to watch for ONE YEAR. It’s not like he was “the future”

jcru

I’m not sure the defense could get any worse. The only thing missing this season was a matador holding a cape as the other team was parading to the basket

jcru

I’m guessing one more enters the portal after today

jcru

Bassy, Cam, Lawrence, House could be a solid backcourt

jcru

No way Bassy came back to be a backup. Starting PG

QB controversy, baby. All I ask is whoever ultimately gets the nod, plays like if they don't win the game, the Devil is going to take their soul at midnight.

Yeeeeee haaaaah

jcru

I'm not really sure about anything. I was just providing a summary.

jcru

so far they have: Dee Dee Davis Teisha Hyman Tenin Magassa Maye Toure Sophie Sene Out. In: Albina Syla 6'5" Center, Finland Ayanna Franks 5'9" Guard, Connecticut Also, Chantelle Blagrove 5'9" Guard, Ontario, will be active for next season. I'm guessing a couple of our future players a...

jcru

We should do like Wagner and play with 6 guys that don't receive a NIL and a pair of guys from the football team.

Might as well go full underdog in the A10.

jcru

If you don’t win that conference, you’re not relevant, is my point. I agree with that point - but they have not been relevant for 20 years. They have almost zero fan support as it is. I think it is a good move for UMass. Their only chance at relevancy is to be good in a bad conference. I think it w...

jcru

You can say it "only happens when you are winning" but for Hurley it is always. Even in the building years, and the rebuilding years, his players don't falter for him.

jcru

Also, it's the old carrot & stick analogy. You have to know when it is the right time to bust your players balls, and when to compliment them. When to be bad cop, and when to be good cop. When to be their dad, and when to be their friend. Some people know how to do this like an art form, and som...

jcru

maybe Hammond thought KJ was going to have the head coaching job by now. lol

jcru

This is like watching WWE, and they are building up to the point of the match where Lesner delivers the F5.

jcru

Second shoe, incoming.

jcru

same. I like House

jcru

again, not surprised.

wonder if Debroise is next.

jcru

The MAC had a whopping 4 teams that got 20 wins this season, and only one of them got more than 20 wins (24). UMass is going to be fine, they'll probably be the next Vermont, but of a bigger Conference.

jcru

Who is in the MAC basketball-wise? No one. UMass will probably starting winning that Conference inside of two years and be back in the NCAAT before you know it.

jcru

Oh, we're the only adidas school on the list. Nvm

jcru

Are most of those adidas schools? I'm guessing if you are an adidas school, you get a mention on all of these giant lists these kids put out.

jcru

No other team he goes to is going to run this packline nonsense, so I wouldn't judge him on anything that happened here on this team. On an offense oriented team that plays a basic defense he could explode on the scene, we'll see if LSU thinks so.

jcru

I could see big Jeremy as a Tiger

jcru

Not surprised by these. Wonder what will happen with the rest of the French connection.

IMO, Dutat is the most important player of the bunch.

jcru

Reminds me of Josh King

Maybe not the same skill set, but in looks

jcru

I'm guessing it was a money thing, and you probably had to put up some sort of money to enter the tournament. Is my guess, and the university was like, yeah, no. That, coupled with the idea that if it's not the NCAA or whatever the next one is, in this case the NBIT, then that is it. They aren't eve...

jcru

quick question: are the meds from this Rhody Rehab going to cause me to gain weight?

jcru

We're going to be mining the Northeast Conference like a son of a gun

jcru

yeah I get that. But there is literally nothing left to talk about

jcru

This is going to a tough two years coming up.

jcru

How can you tap the brakes on the recruiting hype

when that is THE ONLY THING to get excited about around here these days?

jcru

If we keep Hammond and Farrell, I guess anything is possible. Hammond and Cam could make a nice backcourt, along with Farrell, a couple of wing players hanging around and whatever frontcourt players we can scrounge together, just like the old days. Offense really isn't my biggest fear, despite us no...

jcru

This Archie team begins and ends with the packline defense. Sink or swim, it basically boils down to that. That being said, we had two freshman this year, Cam and Dubsky. Maybe it wasn't so obvious 365 days ago, but if you lasted through this season, you now KNOW this team is married to a gimmick de...

jcru

I guess some of these guys didn't want to stick around to learn the packline defense in depth

jcru

Get ready for the game this afternoon by checking out this photo gallery from The Providence Journal Take a look: URI women's basketball's 2023-24 season Native, that first photo on the Projo page is from last year's team. You have Tammi Reiss and Sophie Phillips and then three players who don't ev...

jcru

chance to make history tomorrow. That's all they need is a chance. 50/50.

jcru

So proud of this team, to exercise this demon, regardless of what happens tomorrow

jcru

freaking Dee Dee Davis. what a great story.

jcru

your starting 2 guard goes to the line and misses both... smh

jcru

Who would have predicted that URI and Fordham would end up with identical records to end the season?

jcru

I've reached the acceptance stage of grieving. I've made peace with the fact that we are probably never going back to the NCAAT in my lifetime.

Once you do that, everything is fine. No worries, no anxieties, no need to argue with anyone.

jcru

This team is on the upswing. With Dutat, they have the ability to win every one of their remaining games. She has to be, by far, the most dominant women's defensive player URI has ever had. She looks like a professional athlete amongst student athletes at times. Someone had joked and called her Rodm...

jcru

Surprisingly, I'm going to agree with Jersey here. I don't think wholesale changing out the entire roster like last year is the way to go. They have the two players coming in, one is going to make an immediate impact and the other will make an inevitable impact, maybe try to get 2 more players and g...

lol, nailed it.

And I think I actually like R15 better than most, but that was right on the money.

jcru

tough to pressure guards for steals when you have to stay two feet behind the pacline

jcru

idk, sisters of the poor?

jcru

Imagine: Rhode Island, home of the Fast Break. Frank Keaney, credited as it's originator and innovator. And we are second to last in transition offense.
