Re: Students

Not to make excuses for why URI lost yesterday but with the way this team feeds off of the crowd it's not too far fetched to think that the students cost us the game yesterday. The team was flat from the tip resulting in an 11-0 deficit which wouldn't have happened if we had a packed student section...

Win over Dayton puts us in for the moment but will need to beat UMASS and at least get to the semi's but if we meet Richmond in the semi's i think we will have to win that one as well.

Re: Week #16 - Games of Interest

For me, I root for PC outside of the URI game only if we come out on top in our head to head matchup. It's much easier because no matter how good of a season PC has we still hold the trump card by beating them head to head.
