....yurview was there filming..... I'm trying to watch/listen to the show now. Too bad the sound is so low and barely audible! Did Steve MacDonald lose a lot of weight? Last time I saw him on TV I could have sworn he was morbidly obese. https://www.yurview.com/david-cox-coaches-show-3-9-20?utm_camp...

Nothing is easy with this program.

TulaneGradRamFan

I don't think having Senior Night just before a game is a very good idea. It seems to be way too much of a distraction and over the past few years anyway and the team typically does not play well when they are expected to play basketball right afterwards. Has anyone besides me noticed that?

TulaneGradRamFan

I think part of the reason they have played poorly recently is because the fans have been putting so much pressure on them. If you remember back to articles where they interviewed Cyril and he was asked what he thought explained why they were playing so well, he said it was because Cox was telling ...

"........For those who care to read...Let me vent to you a reality that often hits me square between the eyes this time of the year. We are NOT a great program. We are an OK program. We are a middle of the road, average, mid-major program. We lack the all around consistency to be more than tha...

They just aren't consistent and they are cold a lot more often and for longer periods of time than they are hot... and on the road they play like its drudgery.

I was thinking the same thing. It sure doesn't look like it. I hope that changes.

They are now down by 11.

Earlier Steve McDonald said Cutino Mobley is there. Too bad he can't go give them a pep talk.

TulaneGradRamFan

If I was advising the staff and the team about how they could heal the fastest from injuries, I would definitely urge them to have Comfrey tincture on hand for healing from all kinds of injuries including broken bones, tissue. rashes and even stomach disorders - and it is a great pain reliever. For ...

.....and please......no Injuries......nothing.....cuts....strains.....pulls.....nothing.....and hopefully Antwan and Harris get worked hard so we can see what they're really like Speaking of that, didn't Fatt's eye or head get injured in the Dayton game? I know he played through it but maybe he has...

Fatts is better assisting tonight. I don't think he should try to score except if it is at the free throw line.He is better setting up the others.

TulaneGradRamFan

Virtually no chatter on the Davidson message board . They don't seem to be into their team so much this season. Must be a big NASCAR weekend? no, it snowed 1/10 of an inch and the whole city has come to a stop. "the great blizzard of 2020" It is sunny and should be up in the mid 50s all a...

With all this “must win” talk, you guys do know that, these boys WANT to win EVERY game, right? They said they play every game like they are the “hunted”. Wait...they WANT to win EVERY game!?!? I'm going to need to know your source on this. Do they do any meditations and visualizations of themselve...

One word: I N C O N S I S T A N T Wasn't URI a better more consistent program when they played games at Keaney? I remember watching games there for the last two years or so (when Al Skinner was there) before they switched over to the Ryan Center and we always seemed to win more easily and effortless...

I, for one, am happy Bill Koch is being more active here. He’s not perfect (no one is) but we could do a heckuva lot worse for a beat writer. Bill said to Kevin in their last "Pick and Pop" podcast, after Kevin said he wouldn't mind seeing the game live and covering it for Bill if he was ...

TulaneGradRamFan

This was broadcast before the GW game on February 6 and Kevin McNamara was less flattering than Bill Koch of URI in this "Pick and Pop" broadcast. I'd never heard their podcast before living in another part of the country as I do and no longer living in RI or being a ProJo subscriber, I th...

Hey you guys. Dayton fans have begun speculating about the next game. http://www.udpride.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=77

I like Blue Man's analysis and explanation for the current positioning of URI in the rankings. I wonder if what appears on the surface to be an unjustifiably low ranking could be avoided if the only teams URI would be scheduled to play against each season would be non-conference teams in Q1-Q3. From...

" Pillow Soft" was in reference to the A-10 minus Dayton I presume.

Even after a 30 point win so people will find something to whine about.

Blue Man said, "Want to earn our accolades? Beat Dayton Tuesday and show the nation we’re for real." Speaking of which - Dayton today beat St. Louis by just 6 points. Is St. Louis some under-rated force to be reckoned with? Was it an "off day" for Dayton or is Dayton perhaps not ...

This BE/PC lover always claims to be neutral. https://twitter.com/KevinMcNamara33/status/1226210774231789568?s=20 There are a lot of near below the belt derogatory remarks about the Rams in the thread above Coach Cox could use to motivate the team when playing against Dayton. Here are a few: "...

I'm elated they won by so much! Steve and Don said in the post-game show, this team may end up being the winning-est team or, among the winning-est teams in RI basketball history the way they are playing.

Steve MacDonald has a tendency to count chickens before they are hatched and it seems by doing so has jinxed games in the past. Today Don Kaul reminds him after a comment Steve made insinuating URI has already won the game that there were still 13 minutes to go and URI learned from Brown to focus on...

Amazing how many Rhody fans are here! Freakin great! With so many players and our coaches from DMV area, there must be a lot of locals who are family and friends too. Well it must be energizing the team which is all that matters... but listening to it on the radio,it seems the only cheering that is...

Steve MacDonald just said on the pre-game show that their flight yesterday afternoon was cancelled due to high winds so they tried to leave later from Boston and then THAT flight was cancelled and so last night they were able to leave from Hartord and didnt get to D.C until late. Then they had to ge...

I wonder if the articles can be cut and pasted directly into a post. As long as the poster doing it credits the paper and the writer, it shouldn't be a problem.

sports25.club is a good place to watch a lot of games for free as long as you avoid all enticements to watch it on HD. You also don't have to 'register" or anything. I haven't been able to get any games broadcast via CBSSN for some reason though. : (

Why isn't anyone following the RPI rankings? They now have Rhode Island ranked at 14 and VCU has been dropped to 46 with Dayton at 9.

I must say it must be intimidating when all the Duke players tower over you. They look to be six inches to a foot taller than everyone but Berry. But you think they could use their agility and smallness to maneuver and weave in and through the BIG Duke players.

They are playing aggressively. They just need to do a better job of shooting.
