Gonna keep saying it, they have to shoot more 3s. They're shooting 42% on the year!!! They have taken 2 in the whole 2nd half and none in the last 11 minutes. Against a zone!! 3-14 from 3pt land doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in your shooters. Not that means you should stop shooting them entire...

I swear some of y'all will be negative about literally anything. Everyone who's pointing to GMU is seemingly ignoring Davidson who plays in a similar size arena and has been nothing but a benefit for the conference.

RamFaninSF

Gotta find a way to shoot more 3s. You can't expect to consistently win games with today's style of play only shooting 6 a game.

RamFaninSF

Oddly I get the feeling it will be a 20 point loss or one-possession game either way, don't think it will be near a 10-point difference. Due to Wisconsin's size and interior defense, I think we'll live and die from early 3-pointers by Fatts. If he makes a few early, that will tend to open up the dr...

This was kind of my thought as well. Usually, it's a given you know less than the oddsmakers, but at this point, how much could anyone know.

RamFaninSF

I haven't seen a line published by anyone yet, and I'm curious to see if we even get one given the cancellation/late scheduling. I'd expect it someone in the range of ASU -8.5 to -10.5. Either way, I think you gotta take the points given all the uncertainty.

RamFaninSF

Why should you be amazed that there is a difference between RPI and NET? The whole point of creating NET is that everyone agreed that RPI was not adequately capturing what it was intended to capture. It would be a sign that the NET is an abject failure if it were spitting out identical rankings as ...

If Richmond loses Friday and we make it to Sunday - does anyone think that gives us an outside chance ? I think the best-case scenario is Richmond winning Friday, so we'd have another chance a good win. Does anyone know if conference tournament games have an impact on the NET rankings? Would be bea...

RamFaninSF

Interesting to note Richmond went 1-3 against the Top 5 teams in the conference, with the lone win obviously against us way back on Jan. 5. We all know Duquesne and Davidson are solid wins, but from an outsiders perspective, not having a single win in the last two months against anyone better than t...

RamFaninSF

Still don’t think they’re good. I’ve explained why numerous times so I’m not going to do it again now. But the thing that has changed for me is that I don’t think we are very good, either, or at least we aren’t playing well over the last month. At some point you can just say you’re wrong though? Or...

RamFaninSF

I've been going to the A-10's every year since '07, and I can't remember having a better draw than this. Beat Duquesne, then Richmond, and you're in the conference finals is something we all would have taken in November. That said, we haven't been playing this poorly going into a conference tourney ...

RamFaninSF

Agree totally with Ramstock and Obidiah that the Big East is very overrated . I think the NET is even more flawed than the RPI . The Big East is a great example . Marquette is 8-10 in league now but has an NET of 25 before losing to St. Johns and will probably be at 27 . I think both Richmond and S...

Some interesting nuggets in regards to Davidson's 3-pt shooting prowess. (I only looked at conference games.) - They average 26 attempts per game in their 7 wins AND their 5 losses. Win or lose; they're pretty consistent in getting over 25 attempts up per game. - In wins, Davidson averages 11 made 3...

I watched BYU for the first time this year, and they not that good! How they are ranked 21st is mind-boggling. They do have a few 25-year-old bigs that could present us a matchup issue, but Fatts and Jeff would lock down their guards. They're riding the fact that they played both SDSU and Kansas, wh...

Yikes this board is a scary place to be during games.

I really like the confidence and hustle out of Long. There are definitely still some growing pains, but it's starting to look like by the end of the year he'll develop into a guy that can give you 8-12 solid minutes off the bench in a big game.

RamFaninSF

We all need to be huge VCU fans from here on out.

They're currently sitting at 32 in the NET and if they can get inside the Top 30 to give us another Q1 win, it could bump us up a whole seed.

RamFaninSF

I was leaving the Waste Management Open as the game started and was only able to catch as much as I could via my phone, but from what I could tell, we jumped them from the start and could not be caught. Beating a VCU team that shot 56% from the field is as impressive a conference win as I can think ...

Drew Lavender and Pepe Sanchez.

Totally agree, especially in what is such an intense rivalry game. Gotta take the points.

RamFaninSF

Amazing bounce back to start the 2nd half after a completely lackluster 1st half. This team's ability to respond when they're down is something we haven't had in a long time. Very nervous about these refs down the stretch, though. They have been wildly inconsistent both ways, and I don't see that ch...

I'm about to throw my wedding money, house money, and whatever shillings I have in my 401k on Davidson. Is there something we don't know? Does Davidson have anyone out? My bookie has it as a pick em right now! How that's possible I dont know. Ditto to this. What is going on here, I'm baffled? What ...

RamFaninSF

I probably have a spare ticket for the game tomorrow; let me know if you need it. It's much more important to me that it goes to an actual Rhody fan than I do making a few bucks off it. Also, if anyone is/knows of someone driving from Sacramento to San Francisco after the game, could you let me know...

RamFaninSF

The basketball gods sending the Rams out to Sacramento almost makes my rent in SF the past few years worth it.

RamFaninSF

It's been general admission for the first two days so, with the exception of a few reserved seats, you can sit wherever you want.

RamFaninSF

What a great 2nd half comeback! Stunning for a typical URI team. While it's not easy to do, particularly because it is boney and tough, crow needs to be eaten by some folks on this board, myself included.

RamFaninSF

I feel like a broken record, but how anyone can justify not calling a timeout as the other team goes 10-0 run is beyond me.

RamFaninSF

timeout anytime now, or in the past ten minutes would've been great

RamFaninSF

Haven't been able to watch/keep up with the game, but that said how you let a team go on a 22-6 run on your home court before calling a TO is beyond awful.

RamFaninSF

A sub .500 Santa Clara team winning at Valpo makes me sick

RamFaninSF

OH MAN A ZONE DEFENSE!!

RamFaninSF

How you can let another team go on an 11-2 without a timeout is beyond me.

RamFaninSF

If they don't have some sort of zone defense ready for Saturday, I might loss my mind. Steal a few easy possessions on D as they try to figure it out. If Akele is really as good a 3pt shooter as he's shown in small quality he needs to shoot more, and could be solid stretch 4 of the bench. Why does i...

RamFaninSF

Can attribute this performance, win or lose, on several factors but this has not been a well coached game

RamFaninSF

Why we refuse to mix in a zone defense every once in a while is beyond me. Make the other team have to adjust their offense set once in awhile, and help limit the fouls.

RamFaninSF

I think it says a lot that we stayed in both polls with a loss, this early in the year. All the other one-loss teams left in both polls are CBB blue bloods.

RamFaninSF

How the don't stop the game is pretty baffling. If it had been a neck injury, every second counts getting out to him. Slow starts are killing us. Tie game after getting down 8-0.

RamFaninSF

Can't give up 13 offensive rebounds in a game, let alone a half

I worked in the athletic department at Bryant for a year, and they produce much higher quality live games with one paid employee and a crew of student workers. The "producer", if you will, is the one that selects which of the 3 camera angles is shown. It's as simple as him not clicking on ...
