I know we would all take this deal in Kingston!

NCAA bubble teams also frequently don't perform well in the NIT because players are not motivated after the letdown of missing the only tournament they really cared about. A loss in the NIT — even a bad one — is not indicative of whether a team deserved to be in the NCAA tournament field or not. In ...

Zero optimism for next year. The only thing separating Archie from Cox is his smarter usage of timeouts. Other than that, after two seasons, they’re virtually indistinguishable in terms of recruiting, being able to coach players up, and effort on the court. One more year, and unless we see demonstra...

I think Miller will resign at the end of this season if things do not turn around.....Just listening to his press conference. I think his timeline is this year only. no improvement. He will leave right or wrong. That's what I think I never really thought of that. But it could happen. I would think ...

RhodyFanNotAlum

I give Miller one more year to turn this around. Another year of this and he has to go. Can't blame Thorr for this one. Everyone thought this would work based on Archie's success at Dayton Does anyone have the number URI would be on the hook for if he's fired after year 3? No way this can continue....

don’t love it but it is what it is. I do like playing UMass twice every year. Other than that....we’d want Dayton/VCU and either SLU or SBU most years.

RhodyFanNotAlum

If I'm interpreting the website correctly, the Saturday games at Mohegan Sun will tip off at noon, with Rhody playing in the second game. No time listed for Sunday (though noon feels like a safe assumption). 20230903_174530.jpg https://mohegansun.com/events-and-promotions/schedule-of-events/bhof-bas...

We would be absolutely fine without a hype person. Pretty much all of us were able to cheer on Rhody without one and something tells me current college students could figure it out I sense I am in the minority but I agree with this. I'd love to put JV on the PA and lose the hype role entirely. A go...

RhodyFanNotAlum

Mixed feelings here. I agree with those saying that we need to win games and good things will follow. For one thing, we've seen how quickly students lose interest in a losing program. A very good early OOC record could potentially keep them engaged beyond early November this year. That said, I'm sti...

RhodyFanNotAlum

I want so badly to say yes. It's exhausting having to get accustomed to so many different players year in and year out, and I would very much like to see more roster continuity year over year. And Carey seems like a good kid. But if we have a decent team next season that's on the verge of competing,...

I'd actually pay $50 to see them share a stage and chat for an hour in person, but I've got no interest in watching this over Zoom. Wouldn't even tune in if it were free.

RhodyFanNotAlum

Thomas has to focus on facilitating. He’s great at pushing the offense. However, teams leave him open since he hasn’t proven he can hit from long range. Archie needs to curtail the shooting. It makes it tough to run an offense when the other team can leave your guard wide open and know he can’t sho...

Can confirm that McDonald mentioned midway through the second half that it was Kenny.

I'm kind of weirdly neutral on Yorke. Wouldn't miss him if he left, but also don't care if he stays. My only issue with him is his lack of situational awareness. I don't care how loud you get during the PC game or when the team is making a big run in front of a full house. But when someone makes a b...

Count me among those who really hadn't expected we would lose this game. Some thoughts: — I do wish they had scheduled a D-2 or D-3 school for an exhibition before this game — I'm not going to blame the loss on the fact that they didn't, but I believe a group of players who had mostly never played a...

Regardless, are you the keeper of URI fandom? Are you the URI fan police, checking credentials? If you don't attend or watch X number of games, you don't quality as a URI fan?

I think it was a mistake for URI to increase ticket prices for next year. Hard disagree. The excitement is here now, they could really use the revenue after the past couple of years AND the Providence game is at the RC next year. If they had waited a year to raise prices, I could easily imagine som...

The program enhancements are so key (although can I ask where they were 5 or so years ago?!). Anyway, moving on.

Grasso was able to get those OOC opponents because those schools knew they would win those games. Good luck getting them to play us, especially if we were good. I get that 100%. I was prepared for someone to make that argument, and it's true. But I think my point is more that he understands that th...

RhodyFanNotAlum

And another thing about Grasso — he's not afraid to schedule tough games out of conference. So many people here whined about our cupcake nonconference schedule. This year Bryant played at Clemson, Houston, Cincinnati ... last year, at Syracuse. Given the choice, most of us probably would have traded...

Admit it - you'd love to see this guy on the sideline next season. https://imgur.com/a/HPLIda1 I would, absolutely.

We likely only have one more day of this for 6 months, so I’ll say this half seriously: If we win tomorrow does this board start to get a little excited/optimistic? We still need FOUR MORE WINS for any of this to matter. It's gonna take at least two more to pique my excitement level. I suspect the ...

Dayton Board says it was a game time decision "lower body injury". Their board is hot. Said Grant did not call a time out as LaSalle went on a 17-0 run. Well yeah he was just waiting for his guys to make a basket and THEN he was gonna call one. Oh wait. I'm thinking of someone else.

The contrast is startling- Dayton and Grant had major needs for this year. Smartly, they went to the transfer portal and were very successful in filling their needs. Compare that to our coaching staff- The biggest need was a quality point guard, so we pick up another smallish shooting guard who we ...

Recruits read everything and anything about their potential destinations. Who would want to play for a fan base that bails every time the team hits a rough patch? If you're rooting for a coaching change, you are rooting for the team to fail the remainder of the season. Cox's reputation is impeccabl...

Anyways lets make it interesting. Odds that Cox is out after this season? I say 75% chance. If we make it to the A10 finals, I'd say 25% chance. I'll go more drastic in both directions. I'll say 90-95% chance he's out and if they (somehow) make the A-10 finals I think it's more like 10-15%. They're...

Listen to Ace. It’s not realistic. Neither is Mack or Miller. I think Mack or Miller are more "realistic" than Bobby. Beyond the fact that it's the school his brother coached at, it's also the school that would be (essentially) firing his brother's lead assistant, that Dan felt strongly e...
