The boys are damn close. They are playing like the early 90's Knicks with Ewing, Oakley, Starks, Smith, et al. Rough, physically play. Notice when we beat a team that team looks like they went 10 rounds with Tyson circa 1987? Love this style of play and it helps make up for the fact that we are not ...

ChiPhiRhody03

you can't expect some student from New Jersey who doesn't know much about URI basketball to have the same passion we all do about URI basketball. We've all done our time and made our commitments. The students haven't had that opportunity (yet). The team needs to win, win big games, win close games, ...

ChiPhiRhody03

nice to see someone backing rhody for tonights contest.

ChiPhiRhody03

I thought they hung in there well against a good team. EC's line looks great except for the 5 TO's. Need to clean that up. Overall, we lost because of free throws. They hit 80%, we hit 55%. That discrepancy alone was the difference in points. Agree with BAR that this team will vastly improve once we...

ChiPhiRhody03

for those in NYC area, it's on MSG+ channel 580 (in HD). Channel 80 for non-HD.

ChiPhiRhody03

and that right there is the best marketing spot Rhody can create. Even better, highlights of it will likely run on Sportscenter. JT > HASSAN Oop was sick.

Met's fans...

ChiPhiRhody03

ha. all good. If they sold beer at the Ryan Center, I'd buy Puck Frovidence one to make peace. If he's interested in checking out the Fordham URI game, happily buy him one at Dagger John's (bar underneath the gym). Consider that my olive branch.

"sub-humans in the Bronx" - Typical ignorant chowda head comment. Just stop. Also, pretty sure you used the word anodyne incorrectly. Nope, used correctly but not surprised a non-chowda-headed New Yorka didn't know that in addition to the medical definition "anodyne" can mean &q...

ChiPhiRhody03

Listen guy, first off, love the user name. Second, booze is not gonna draw a bunch of broke students who'd likely have to fork over $8/beer just so they can drink during the game. Could it help? Sure. Is it even in my top 10 list of things needed to get the students in the arena? no. I go to the UR...

ChiPhiRhody03

he means add 1k to attendance not extra 1k in money Yeah. I don't think the simple presence of booze guarantees that you'd have 1,000 more (about 15 percent) in attendance. I do think it would generate a lot of income from the people who were already planning on attending the game though, and the p...

ChiPhiRhody03

If we sold alcohol we would have a minimum of an extra 1k per game in my opinion. I know they are trying to reverse the alcohol (dry campus) policy. Win and sell booze and people will follow I think the booze argument is overrated. Just win. Win games, get some notice by the media, have solid/tacti...

just win. Give the students a reason to come down the campus to the Ryan Center. All the marketing and free crap in the world won't do much - team has to win. You beat a ranked Nebraska (and I'm not currently projecting that to happen although it would be nice to see) and you'll get buzz around camp...

ChiPhiRhody03

why do you guys give a damn about PC? We got our man (Terrell). Before that, we got our other man (Garrett). AND, we got our other man (Hare) back as well. Let those fools chirp and make excuses all they want. Rhody looks to be in much better shape than PC for the next 2-3 years. Let the PC fans che...

I'm with BAR - patience folks, let DH do his thing. I'm sure he closed the deal and we're just waiting for the I/O (advertising lingo).

ChiPhiRhody03

74 - 68, Rhody.

ChiPhiRhody03

Read a book.

ChiPhiRhody03

LOL. Yeah BAR, shut it.

ChiPhiRhody03

EC is just stupid good.

ChiPhiRhody03

bull sh!t - that was all ball by EC. Both frosh continue to look like studs. Hope Garrett's taking notes.

ChiPhiRhody03

Martin - 3 blocks in 5 minutes. Guy is a beast.

ChiPhiRhody03

finish shots, play strong defense and win the damn game. Get some momentum heading into Brooklyn.

ChiPhiRhody03

Went to school with P-Murph. Real good guy. Turned out to be one helluva scout/recruit/coach. Great work boys. Welcome Jarvis. Get another solid big man and we're looking nice for a few years.

ChiPhiRhody03

Hate to say it, but this team isn't making the A-10 tourney. No depth, talent still needs time to mature, X is nasty but he goes all iso when the team is playing desperate and, well, that formula isn't working for Melo and the Knicks so it sure isn't going to work for X and Rhody. I sure hope DH is ...

ChiPhiRhody03

You fellas need to take it easy on Hurley. He, like this team, is a work in progress. That said, nice win - possible confidence/momentum builder. Love seeing E.C. picking up his game. Kid's on a roll right now.[/ Hey 03, Is EC's game better than M.N?????? Ha. I believe the answer to that is no. Now...

ChiPhiRhody03

take it ease folks. This season has been/continues to be a stepping stone. Dan's doing a fine job given the circumstances he's inherited/had to deal with. The boys just need to play up to their skill levels, which they have not done so far. Give it time. Nothing really matters until A10 play anyway....

ChiPhiRhody03

what happened at the end there? I didn't watch the game.

ChiPhiRhody03

Gents - let's all be clear, this season is a stepping stone, not, the destination. That's next season and the following. These guys need time to get their feet under them and gel. They'll win 18-20 games this year, but don't get your expectations all high just because there's a bunch of hype. Pretty...

ChiPhiRhody03

this season (for us fans) has nothing to do with the players or the record. It has to do with the culture the Hurley bro's are instilling in this program...and even in the losses, you see huge improvements over the culture we've had the previous 10 years or so. Yes, Baron winning 20 or so per year w...

ChiPhiRhody03

first of all, love the username (Zach 1 and done Marbury). Hated that douche when I went to URI...we tossed him and his posse from our fraternity house a few times... anyway, back to my main point for posting. if you're out of market, go.coxsportsonline.com has the game feeds.

stand corrected. place looks packed. Good stuff. Now win the damn game.

watching the live stream and the joint looks empty to me. lame.

ChiPhiRhody03

alcohol at the games isn't that big of an issue. I went to URI 1998-2002 and they didn't sell beer in Keaney, but you can be damn sure we pre gamed like crazy and were half in the bag come tipoff. There were a hell of a lot more students at the games back then than there are now (and I'm talking abo...

ChiPhiRhody03

maybe one of the RA's will discover a kid in the dorms who can rebound..

ChiPhiRhody03

as a non-rhode islander who could give a damn about in-state rivalries, welcome aboard pal.

ChiPhiRhody03

solid half. not going to shoot 40% from 3pt all day though...need to get inside.

ChiPhiRhody03

yeah, I too live in NYC and will be there. Dagger John's (the bar underneath Rose Hill gym) is a great place to pregame - and usually has more rhody heads than fordham.

ChiPhiRhody03

hate to say it, but unless they string together a few upsets, they won't be heading to BK this year. Gritty team, definitely exceeding (my) expectations, but don't think the talent pool is deep enough to get them in the A-10 Tourney. Hopefully I'm wrong.

ChiPhiRhody03

this game being streamed?

ChiPhiRhody03

good effort on the boards. Wasn't expecting a win here but a blowout.....?
