Honestly that is an underwhelming list. Come back to Rhody Ben! This list reflects badly on our program no? We should be ahead of a lot of these clubs in the pecking order. Is it possible Miller cut bait for some reason on Hammond? It’s all seeming a bit weird….at first glance this is a kick in the...

Rhody_NYCT

Nah man that is ridiculous to say. And I’m the one who said losing KJ would be the greatest loss in program history aside from Hurley, so that’s saying something. This kid Hammond was the leading pg, essentially the captain of the #2 program in all of US high school basketball. He plays a different...

Rhody_NYCT

I was NEVER excited about Hammond coming here, because I don’t believe in “commitments” anymore. The way things are now, incoming players have to earn my trust and fandom. Even then, I don’t expect them to stick around for more than a year or two, which stinks. I think TV ratings of men’s college h...

In this new lame world of college hoops I wound't get your hopes up for ANY player to stay longer than 2 years anymore. If certain rules are changed then it could be, and hopefully will be, a different story.

Rhody_NYCT

I remember seeing a funny meme after the Rams won the Super Bowl a few years ago. It showed a banner at the Lions stadium that said "Our old QB won the Super Bowl." Maybe we should do that with the Hurley connection. Haha.

Rhody_NYCT

What’s the over/under on how many times Hurley stomps his feet in the 2nd half?

Rhody_NYCT

You’re entitled to your opinion. And he has those for sure. Just no class. See Jay Wright.

Rhody_NYCT

A friend from NY just randomly texted me “was Hurley this much of a d-bag when he coached at RI?”

Rhody_NYCT

Hurley is a great coach. No doubt. But his in-game antics are incredibly cringeworthy. He acts like an a child. If you remember, his first 3-4 years with us he acted like a fool on many occasions. His behavior was borderline embarrassing. He acknowledged it at some point and definitely reined it in ...

Rhody_NYCT

Thank you Stevey! And one more thing, there were some posts saying that the game was hard to watch because of the way Edey was being officiated. We are all entitled to our opinion, but to me that was one of the most entertaining and exciting games of the tournament. Classic March Madness game. I kno...

Rhody_NYCT

I’m not saying Edey doesn’t get away with some no-calls or missed calls, but if I had the time, I could easily compile a bunch of missed calls from yesterday going the other way when he is involved in the play. Easily. That said, EVERY game has tons of missed calls. It’s just the way it is. Edey is ...

Rhody_NYCT

I personally think Edey was fouled at least another 5 times that could have been called. I don’t think he’s getting away with much at all. He plays a clean game. Obviously he is just so difficult to guard. Considering Hurley stomps his feet on just about every single play during a game, you can be s...

Rhody_NYCT

So much Rhody sadness and no madness these days...made me want to watch a video I posted years ago...

Rhody_NYCT

I was being facetious. They need to fix something after that a-kicking they got last night.

Rhody_NYCT

I’m with a bunch of you. Transfer portal is ruining college hoops for me. It has been my #1 sport since I was a kid and watched the NC State finals game. I’ve lived for it (as far as sports goes). Die-hard Rhody fan since the early 90s. But so much of what I loved is gone. Call me old or whatever. T...

Rhody_NYCT

Looks like Virginia needs to work on its pack line defense too.

Rhody_NYCT

I like it BUT, I’m thinking this is too many games for teams to play, and too much average basketball that most fans around the country wouldn’t really care for (like the NIT). Pushing the tournament back for these bubble type teams doesn’t seems like something that would happen. How about just givi...

Rhody_NYCT

Sure, some coaches stay at a college for a long time, as long as they get an extension and more money. And they don't jump around to 2-3-4 schools in 5 years because they have a contract that guarantees they'll get paid or get a hefty buyout. They have an incentive to stay. I'm sure more players wo...

Rhody_NYCT

So basically just like those same coaches have always been. Weird how all of a sudden that's wrong when the players start doing it. This kind of mentality is the end of college sports. How can you compare grown men that have proven themselves and earned a JOB to lead a basketball team and program w...

Rhody_NYCT

Coaches that were giving testimony this week said that players and families don’t care anymore about what your plans are for developing them and the family atmosphere etc…all they want to know is how much are you going to pay them. So basically just like those same coaches have always been. Weird h...

Rhody_NYCT

I listened to the game in my car…unfortunately, only the last 4 minutes due to work. From my perspective, House missing 2 free throws with a few minutes left (and we were up two), was the beginning of the end. Then Montgomery missed a 3 badly and a point blank layup. I hope my memory is correct. Tha...

Rhody_NYCT

The problem with comparing Archie with anyone from the past is that college hoops has changed so much over the past few years. You really can't compare. There are so many unknowns with this sport right now. Hurley's 2nd year was not good, but he was building a roster. We don't know if that's even po...

Rhody_NYCT

I've been a die hard fan for over 30 years...but I haven't watched a minute of the last 3 games. You guys are better fans than I am. I just can't take the pain anymore.

Rhody_NYCT

It's really awesome to watch the George Mason rebuild in full effect. Is the coach getting an extension tonight? Very impressed with them. I'm kidding of course, but some of our forum members were ready to bow down to that coach a week ago. Go Rhody!

Rhody_NYCT

I was never going to say anything until I saw this thread but...I was watching the last game thinking, why don't we have blue uniforms that match a blue anywhere else on the court etc. Those jerseys had a strange color. If we were 1st in the A10, I wouldn't care much.

Rhody_NYCT · Re: 2/3 | Duquesne | 12:30PM (USA) Just terrible today. Really hard to watch.

Just terrible today. Really hard to watch.

Rhody_NYCT

I don't watch GM but their schedule has been very weak, one that we would be complaining about. They are 3-3 in the A10. Not exactly word beaters. But just to make some of you happy, I would like to personally congratulate the GM coach on successfully rebuilding their program in a half of a season (...

Rhody_NYCT

There’s no way around it, that was a terrible loss. No excuses and no one to blame but ourselves. Awful. That said, I do think we have a bunch of young guys that are improving and playing better than freshman usually do around here. Weston is improving too. You also can’t say that these young guys a...

Rhody_NYCT

Some people just don’t understand. Nobody is saying that you can’t rebuild in a year or two. It’s just not the norm. When you hire a coach for a rebuild, you should be prepared to give that coach 4 years to get the job done.

Rhody_NYCT

I'm with PlayMikeMotenMore...a one year program turnaround is the exception. No way can it be the expectation. Coaches have to be given 3-4 years. If they can make it happen faster, or catch lightning in a bottle, even better.

Rhody_NYCT

No matter how disappointing it can be at times, you have to give a new coach 3-4 years to rebuild.

Rhody_NYCT

Bryant looking like the best team in RI. Not even Bassy can take them down.

Rhody_NYCT

Amen Remember having guys like Fatts and Jarvis come off the bench? I think he's a super nice kid with a great attitude, but he's not an A10-level guard. My guess is Archie will bring in an immediate impact guard. We can't rely on Hammond as a freshman. A veteran point that can drop 10-15 a game an...

Rhody_NYCT

I don’t understand any negativity right now. This is basketball. Players and teams make mistakes. It’s never a perfect game. We won on the road in a place that we usually don’t. Enjoy it. Where is the negativity? Feels like good vibes. Maybe the best vibes in a few years. Conference road wins are g...

I’m jumping the gun, but great win tonight. Kudos to this team. Very difficult to win at Davidson.

Rhody_NYCT

I don't know if Hammond is the guy (hopefully), but we need a great PG. That will solve a lot of issues. And of course we can use a 5-star (or 4-star) big man! Easier said than done.

Rhody_NYCT

Down 10 with 2 min left, I assume this game is over. This is just about as bad as it gets. For those that like to take shots at Bryant, please stop now. Not even sure how much better the A10 is than the America East at this point.

Rhody_NYCT

I think it's possible to rebuild in 2 years but that's very difficult. 3-4 years is a reasonable expectation.

Rhody_NYCT

When initially looking at the schedule, I immediately saw this as a loss at Charleston. But after digging into it, I think we have a reasonable chance, even after losing to Brown at home. This isn't the same Charleston team as last year, currently 4-4. They did return a few solid players and added ...

Rhody_NYCT

I'm pretty sure we've had a game on Flo hoops each of the last several years. They didn't have a fee trial and I paid to watch. Not doing it this year. Not after that Brown game. It's not about the $, it's about the principle.

Rhody_NYCT

Thoughts and prayers are with Weston.

Rhody_NYCT

Any way you cut it or who you blame, just a terrible loss.

Rhody_NYCT

Thanks for posting the pictures! Happy for those guys. Legends!

Rhody_NYCT

Truth is, we never should have lost 1st round the next season with Odom. That region had lots of upsets too. If we won that first game (in OT), we could have made a deep run.

I might be able to make the 2 hour drive for this. Game time decision. I really hope there's a nice turnout for this. These guys are legends and deserve it!
