It’s hilarious the excuses that you all use now. Freeman is still doing whatever he wants. Many of the games lost last season were because the team shot itself in the foot by its inability to make free throws, and then it’s on the coaches to make up those misses. Now it’s URI lost because of missed ...

So, you’re bi-polar, in that regard, got it, lol. Just kidding. Nonetheless, not buying what you're selling brother, and I'm pretty sure I'm older and lived a bit longer to understand how things work.

I think Carey will see some limited minutes.

He wasn't the PG in the beginning. Worst coaching move ever in our programs history was moving Jeff off the point. Positionless basketball. Folks label players because it makes their role more identifiable, but they def switched bringing the ball up the floor depending on the pressure or the matchu...

Ramster, if you’re against, try not to reply to it any longer or it gets bumped right back to the top.

Tjrams91

One of wordiest, whiniest replies I’ve seen. “Whoa is me” seems to be the mantra here. So in other words, folks come here to have their feelings validated in shared pool of tears? Sounds pretty grim. So sure, fire the coach, get another, soak in another 3-4 years of SUCK, fire him…wash, rinse, repea...

His game is eerily similar to Antwan’s. He’s not a shooter, but he’s solid inside the 3P line. Blue collar kid, works hard for his points.

URI goes into the PC game as an organizationally dysfunctional basketball team. The talent is there but players are in the wrong seats on the bus. I feel this is the underlying cause for these long stretches of bad basketball we have seen against Tulsa, FGCU, Harvard and even BU. Sure, it is Cox's ...

Tjrams91

Just so I get this straight... 1) If you jump out to a big lead and then the other team comes back to narrow, then that's a complaint. (Coach didn't have them play 40 minutes. They made adjustments, we didn't.) 2) If you fall behind big early and then come back only to lose close game, then that's ...

Tjrams91

I hate the call for that reason. Players themselves seem bewildered a lot. Not just the fans. And I don’t understand what it counts as both a foul AND a turnover. But I digress. It's a turnover if they don't get a shot attempt in any possession. Yes. An offensive foul counts as a turnover. But a re...

He was a freshman. This is a baseless statement.

Heard GW. was leasing for him until he saw how bad they’ve been.

Tjrams91

This is EXACTLY what I was worried about once our schedule was released. We have a very weak schedule to win many games, and people will call people miserable if they aren't super excited about it. I love that we are 6-2 but haven't we been favored to win in every game? That's not what you want in ...

Tjrams91

Hmm idk - you think there's a difference between being a ranked team that got rebuilt under a coach, has been to the NCAAT, and beat a ranked team last week - and us looking for anything in the past 3+ seasons that says we're actually as good as our "record" says we are? Hurley's methods ...

Tjrams91

Cannot have the Mitchell’s try and do everything to prove to Cooley he made a mistake not taking them. I have a feeling they’ll be too amped up, trying to block everything, shooting and dribbling too much, and turning it over / committing too many fouls. Need them to play under control and in the f...

Holy crap we’re having Baron arguments again. This fan base is amazing. Dude, I’m relatively new here, I don’t even know what that means. Beat the teams that are in front of you. Not sure why your crying about it. We’ve seen what this team is capable of, the good and the bad. Celebrate the good and...

The larger concern a lot of us have is that we are playing the softest schedule in a decade. So yes, while it’s nice that we’re winning these games in a frustrating fashion - this isn’t how you win basketball against legitimate competition. And if you don’t beat legit competition you don’t go anywh...

That kid Al Durham is a player for PC he gonna cause us problems ASU lost 51-29 at home to Wash St, say it ain’t so Bobby H !! Remember when Ramster said Durham wouldn’t even be an impact player at PC? I believe that game he had last night will be an outlier. He made 5 FGs. Got to the line a bunch....

Tjrams91

I’m fired up, let’s shock the state! This game has one of those season turning feels to it. I think it will all come together on Saturday for 40 minutes and we win a BATTLE.

So should UCONN fans be concerned that they only beat Q4 UMES by 9 after being neck and neck with them all game? Just using a comparative example we can all relate to since this board has a forever love affair with Hurls. That was an outlier, though. Not a trend. UConn has handled most of their inf...

:D ……well, maybe it is time to say…..we are what our record says we are…….the wins have been working through various negative stretches, games with too many turnovers, games with many wtf plays, foul outs, coaching adjustments(lack there of) etc. etc. games with enough positive plays and talent to ...

Tjrams91

One thing I have noticed, and maybe it is because the "Princeton offense" we are running (is that actually true) is new to them this year: They run the designed 'play' almost mechanically at times. If the ball is supposed to go into the post, they stare it down and even if it is not avail...

10 turnovers for our bigs. Do we see a pattern forming ? So how do you fix it? What do you recommend? How do you fix it? Coach em up! Do not force passes and show some patience. So I guess because they still happen, they are not being addressed, or it’s just not something you can fix. Turnovers are...

Some excerpts from UMD BOARDS….meltdown central. “ Turge needs to go...having players (Ayala, Scott, Russell) constantly going 1-on-1 & Turge does nothing about it. Should get in their face & sit them on the end of the bench. But then then wouldn’t be such a nice guy & so called player’s...

We need to face facts.. shep is not a point guard, that is why we run motion offense, there is no creator and no one without the exception of Thomas that has a point guard mentality.

Sure, TO’s are an issue, but they aren’t things you can just will or work away. They are individual MENTAL mistakes. Sure, you can continue to harp on them, but you don’t want your guys tight and start to telegraph passes or overthink. It’s a delicate balance. You want your guards to be the smartest...

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

We won the game.

They call it survive and advance, for a reason.

Move on. Plenty to learn from.

You’re right.

Toppin wants more exposure. Doesn’t believe this is the place to do that.

Tjrams91

This one hurts a shit ton.

I don’t think there is anything the coach/staff could’ve done. They loved the kid. Word is, the Toppin brand is surging and he is trying to ride the wave.

Harris is seriously strong. He has serious lateral quickness. Hedges hard on screens. Awesome free throw shooter. Ok finishing on the move to the basket. His problem is Maturity. Guess what usually helps that problem? Another year. He’s got two. When u say maturity(basketball maturity?), I can't he...

That’s not Fatts twitter account.

We need a new pipeline somewhere. I know that Cox and staff are working behind the scenes...but we need some commits and soon. I would have thought we would have had at least one of our top targets commit by now. Your takes are so dumb and naive. From the Fatts thing to this...just pure lunacy. Tak...

Tjrams91

We’ve definitely offered the kid. We will see.

Tjrams91

If he was already gone, his name would be in the portal.

Tjrams91

He’s a college kid. What’s your excuse?

I’m waiting for someone to go ask him a question on his IG story...he’s fielding them now...

Tjrams91

Fatts is/was a Pats fan.

He is saying he is no longer a Pats fan.

You all really need something else to do.

Tjrams91

HARD PASS.

Tjrams91

With all these transfers, I’m less concerned about the churn we may face. We will be just fine.

Tjrams91

Have no idea what he’s talking about. Not a single report out.
