For what its worth I agree with Ramrod. EC was his own worst enemy sometimes and you can just tell some games he had games where he was just mentally checked out on defense and offense. Not always the case however, he had a few special games this year and did well in the tourney. His ceiling was muc...

I appreciate everything that Coach Hurley has done in terms of recruiting over the past six years, and I hope that this continues under the next coach at the helm. If we continue to recruit top star talent, then the results will continue to speak for themselves. BUT... let's get real for a moment. H...

Rhody is ranked #18 nationally. That is truly GREAT news! Now, what is the marketing plan coming out of Kingston to take advantage of this national ranking? For example, when are we going to start seeing #GoRhody messages on the RIDOT electronic message boards as we drive along Rhode Island roads? ...

RhodeIslandBred

I third ...or fourth what others have said about rebounding on this board. I was at the Duquesne game and we got killed. UMASS was more of the same. This is also a game where the seniors need to step up and make good decisions. 33 minutes through the Duquesne game and if I could count how many senio...

RhodeIslandBred

Go RHODY! Beat Mason.

RhodeIslandBred

I'm in agreement with what most here feel. Hurley has had plenty of time to build this program with his guys, and his offense. The effort is there but the execution against the Tribe was dismal to say the least. I don't think it all comes down to coaching, but this team needs to figure out its ident...

I agree with luke- EC seemed like he had no choice yesterday then to try to put the team on his back he was the only one getting into the lanes. I liked when the finally put Gil on the block which was when their best half court happened was through him. Terrell seems to be making good decisions for ...

My prediction

1. 20-9
2. 13-5
3. 75.82
4. Matthews, 18.1
5. 5829

RhodeIslandBred

My biggest surprise of the night was how much EC has developed in the gym. He's going to be really exciting to watch this year. I thought both EZBuckets and Michaela Johnson did a great job hosting, and this years show was excellent compared to last. Great to see such an excited crowd in the Ryan Ce...

Got killed against UMASS last weekend and beat by VCU, let's hope we can continue their losing streak.

RhodeIslandBred

When did Abu become the biggest critic of the rams, realize there's some truth to the criticism but how about rooting for the home guys you commentate for?

RhodeIslandBred

I understand this thread was started as a little venting area because we are not VCU after one year of Hurley coaching. I see this team already turning the corner and playing MUCH better than they were at the beginning of this season AND MUCH MUCH better than last year. Due to the fact that weve bee...

Lets stay tough against pc and ill be happy... Good game team and coach see you thursday!

Def need free throws, this was not disappointing loss as some have been. Showed more fight better defense.

RhodeIslandBred

We get mason in conference definitely one we can win

RhodeIslandBred

If we can play like this and finish we will win some, biruta rebound!!! Munford find better shots, this isnt last year...

They hung tough.. The first time i can say that this year, just didnt make the winning plays. Im okay with it...

Steve is announcing this game as if we are playing a real team, like "don't worry, URI is going to hold on to win." Who gives a great goddamn? This is a loss, in my mind. As disappointed and upset as I've been about a Rhody game probably since we lost to UMass on senior day in 2009. The b...

When you play the schedule that we have, 6 wins is not super impressive im wondering if weve beaten anyone in the top 200.

RhodeIslandBred

You know what they say about mcnesse state theyre really a second half team...Not

RhodeIslandBred

Scary that the pc game is only a week down the road... Good to see the lineup change.

Rebound the free throw!!!

Look up how many teams have 5 wins right now. It's only 20+ teams. Sky is certainly not falling. Best half of basketball this year was played tonight. Tomorrow night we should get #6.

Would like to see more determination in this teams eyes especially when theyre up only single digits for most of the game against one of the worst d1 schools in...

Many here are crapping on Powell. What about our big guys? Lowell is a small team. Biruta and Onyekaba should have dominated in this game. They did not. Exactly. And well said rod. Cant understand why martin is so under utilized, something must be going on that we dont see. Seems like he can bring ...

RhodeIslandBred

I don't know who the D-bag was, but someone was talking crap to Hurley at the game, and enough for Dan to have the kid kicked out. Heard it was something about the Arizona game. Some nerve. Anyways, Lowell was more athletic and taller than expected. Saying that we need to move the ball more on offe...

RhodeIslandBred

The way that we have played to this point we may be looking at a 20 point lead at half. I hope they turn it around and be competitive. Quite frankly i dont know if this team has what it takes yet, i hope im proven wrong and its at least close.

RhodeIslandBred

Thats why if hurley promises us a good product thats what id like to see on the floor. Get angry coach! And team included. Take timeouts, teach these guys. I dont want empty promises teach these kids how to be better. If you tell ec to hold the ball for the last shot and he chucks up a brick with 30...

RhodeIslandBred

Exactly. The sky isnt falling, but there are thing that are happening in these games that show lack of preparation for the level of competition we will face. Its not about losing and its not about even keeping it close. There should be no full court passes for dunks, or such poor post defense it loo...

RhodeIslandBred

Why does this team only play well in the 2 nd half?

I would like to hear the announcers blame our poor post D on the key loss of Ryan Brooks. That would be it.

RhodeIslandBred

did people really expect us to hang in this game? They are #4/5 for a reason, they are tall and long and big we are not. They get top 10 players, we don't. This game is about more than just this game, this is about learning from this game and using it in future games. Not hang in but be smart, eith...

RhodeIslandBred

I don't think you can tell much about us in this game. At least not the team we will be in February or March. Arizona, on the other hand, looks like a Final Four team and a contender for the national championship. Arizona misses too many free throws and get very overconfident. That will bite in the...

RhodeIslandBred

We dont need to win this game, we need to show toughness and play to our gameplan it almost seems like there wasnt one

RhodeIslandBred

And btw does hurley know when to take a timeout?? I saw like 5 times he couldve taken one and not just when they had trouble inbounding

RhodeIslandBred

The sky isnt falling hurley needs to right this ship, play smarter then play better

RhodeIslandBred

Im amazed they havent gone over some of these situations in practices or scrimmages, it seems they arent ready for the moment

RhodeIslandBred

Great. Hold it til just past the 2-for-1, then dribble it off your leg. When this team is a good team, we will do the little things much better. Yes, we could shoot better, but more importantly we aren't a team with a high basketball IQ, we aren't disciplined and we make bad mental mistakes on defe...
