Looks like Archie saw this coming with the Recruitment of Lawrence. I didn't really understand (still don't) the excitement over an undersized freshman point guard to come in and play a key role. He may turn into a star someday, but chances are slim to none it's happening as a freshman. It's mostly...

Lmfao Hurley is so full of shit

Didn’t break a sweat last half of season. Adios.

And on my 17th birthday.

Love that ‘78 team.

F’ the Dukies!

That game still haunts me. We were the better team.

The Fou is gone. I’m a bitter broken man.

Spook5365

What a waste. Very disappointed.

Spook5365

I know Teisha had one for a while. Maye had it on and off it seemed kind of random or recurring

Spook5365

Where is Toure? She's 1-6. Like I've said, she was much better last year. It's so pronounced a difference. Wonder what's going on. She was absolutely dominant last season and now you hardly notice her. Not 100% sure but I think she’s been battling injuries all year. I’ve seen her at men’s games wit...

Kendall Pollard, you say? Archie took Dayton to a S16 with 6'6" Pollard playing C

I’m aware. I’m also aware how often that doesn’t happen.

Spook5365

I’ve waited decades for a big like Foumena. Back to a life of 6’7 1/2” centers I go. I guess? I mean, he's promising, but he's averaging 1.6 blocks and 10.9 rebounds per 40 minutes. A lot of his stats are similar to the Mitchell brothers, except he's listed at 6'11" and they're 6'10". I w...

Fou put on IG a “highlight tape” last night. IMO it’s not for URI fans.

Spook5365

So if he really believes that, next game we should be surprised by someone or several someones not getting on the floor during game play? I’ll believe it when I see it but I don’t expect to.

Spook5365

I understand the question but I really don’t want to put players names here.

Spook5365

50 years of watching I’ve never seen a player get stripped by a defender, the defender dives , gets up and sprints to the ball and takes in for easy lay up. While our “player” jogs/walks after him. Then our “player” doesn’t get pulled for it. I’d rather see the 3 walk ons play than these shit bums. ...

Spook5365

I very much understand the points but coaches reaching out to students and others is very overrated. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt. But I can’t see making a big deal over that and their personality type. I saw Al Skinner up close and personal ( meaning I got this directly from him) flat out refuse to do ...

Spook5365

Well my fellow Rhode Island Basketball fans. At this point of the season this is my reasoning for the recent failures. If you watch Archie Miller as much as you possibly can during a game. I think you’ll agree that the man NEVER smiles. Now think of Baron. He was angry at everything. David Cox was ...

[/quote] Yep, that's why I just stay away from that rim when I play. (That, plus I'm short and can't get very far off the ground) In all seriousness, we sit down near there. He was is serious pain, there was blood, there looked to maybe be cursing. When I read earlier in the thread that Steve though...

Unfortunately there are 2 ends to the floor. Archie would have to change his defense. Then again, there aren't many on the team playing it well now, so it probably wouldn't hurt to play them. I guess that’s the point - defense kind of sucks, may as well go for some offense In his meager playing tim...

Spook5365

44 points??? Zero downside to playing Ledden and DeChent right now. Things really need to be shaken up.

Spook5365

Refs did everything they could to give the game to Princeton but our Ladies weren't having it. Tremendous game for Dee Dee, whose offense was instrumental in the win. I’m glad we won because it allows me without sour grapes to say that is the worst ref crew I have seen in my life. I’m 67. They shou...

Spook5365

There’s a lot of good and bad and give and take to this game. I loathe moral victories especially against them it’s an either W or an L. For the most part exactly what I expected. I thought they could be had but for that to happen 1 of 2 guys had to be a little “off”. They weren’t. Hopkins and Carte...

Spook5365

The DNA of the team changed-a lot. Not necessarily bad just different. Last season 8 players shot 3s. 5 are gone, 2 of 3 returning are below average 3 shooters, the transfers are great scorers but also below avg 3 shooters. Opponents were hit with barrages of 3s many times last season. I don’t think...

Jiggy averaged 38 mins a game and would be all pissed off when pulled for the 1-2 mins

Spook5365

Maine is legit and I give them credit, they’ve dismantled 3 A10 teams in a row so their performance not an accident. Ours I don’t know we were not there mentally. First two games too easy for them maybe. Seemed to play scared and confused from opening tip. Again I’ll tip hat to the opponent for part...

Spook5365

While you're checking out these two teams, take a look at Harvard's pre-season schedule. If nothing else they will come into our game extremely prepared. I give Tammi a lot of credit for getting them on the schedule after losing to them twice last season. They have a real strong team mental toughne...

With her athleticism, technique, determination, and everything else she brings, pound for pound and inch for inch one of the best rebounders I’ve ever watched. Very special player. As Hubie Brown would say, plenty of upside left too.

Spook5365

He was entirely uninterested in any effort on defense. That was his one constant u could rely on.

Toledo is a solid program. 29-6 and knocked off 4 seed Iowa State in NCAA tournament. Nuked by Tenn in next round.

Spook5365

If she was too slow to play in the URI system than I wonder why the URI coaching staff recruited her. [/quote] Who knows. Maybe they only went by European scouts or something. Maybe the kid just wanted to come to US to play and didn’t care if she was a back up. Every team has recruiting misses they’...

Spook5365

This isn’t “insight” but seeing every home game and other stuff-she appeared to be a good teammate and highly skilled player who was EXTREMELY slow. Really don’t think it was anymore complicated than that.

Spook5365

Rinat and Adler have also entered the portal. Rinat significant loss imo as far as her potential. Thought next year would be big jump for her.

Spook5365

Dolly was a great player here and worked very hard. Loved watching her play. An important recruit for Tammi and the program. She struggled mightily after coming back this year and not for lack of effort on her part. IMO Tammi stuck with her as much as she possibly could, but unfortunately the produc...

Spook5365

So enjoyable to watch this team play.

Spook5365

Calhoun placed Tom Moore on Hurleys staff, had a private dinner held for them an a few chosen people pre season and then watched practices while Hurley auditioned for him. It was a total and complete snake move and he ripped the heart out of his team because they knew about it. Better job? Yes. More...

Not really. Hurley was totally unprepared and had lost his team mentally for that game. It got ugly before that for sure.

Spook5365

Thorr doesn’t need to be rethinking anything regarding Archie. A selfish, me first player with an annoying family tailing him around is gone. Didn’t give 2 shits about his teammates. About to be playing for his 7th team in 7 years. No one will notice he’s gone or even remember him afterwards.

Spook5365

Well that was fun while it lasted

He blocked me as well. Invites the debate, then when one doesn’t agree with him he goes fetal position. He and McNamara are vile dogs.

Complaints and random thoughts: 1. Worst effort I've seen in 50 years of watching Including Jerry D. That team sucked, this one doesn't. I always say college players should never be booed but man I felt like it. I really thought a few guys quit out there and still feel that way. I will not mention n...

By harping on attendance as much as he has, Koch is basically lecturing the true fans who are actually going to games about the ones that aren't. It's pointless and has become old and irritating.

Spook5365

The depth situation absolutely killed us. Was the narrowing of the roster accidental, intentional, voluntary, etc? Who knows. Whatever it was, it was really poor planning. Injuries and illness are always laying in wait. As deeply flawed as they were as players ( who isn't ) a lot of D 1 experience w...

Groundhog Day. Can't close out, can't get end game defensive stop, miss every three throw that can change/create momentum, can't hit shots, clang clang clang. Every. Single. Game. You know what's coming the entire time while watching. Even against lower level team playing without 60% of its producti...

Speaking of things to work on, do you think they can teach these players to call out picks for their teamates? In the last three years, first TJ, then EC last year, and now Garrett have been run into picks that have almost knocked them unconscious. If you think our depth is a problem, this would be ...

Once again, hyper accurate reporting by McNamara. Quick check of half dozen scouting services list Christion at 6' 4". Kevie insists on 6'3. Lame and lazy as usual.

Spook5365

And I've checked 8 scouting services. 6'3" on every one. That alone is annoying and sloppy reporting.
