Two players should not be on our team next year: Wright and Traore. They are low-major players. However, I'm completely confused about why people wouldn't get excited about Manyawu. This reminds me of the people who were negative about Green when he also put up decent numbers in the conference USA....

Same with the new phantom farms in cumberland as far as noise factor. But liked the beers both there and at tower hill

Dan Hurley.. I made the outlandish prediction when Kentucky got bounced from the tourney. Can't belive Kentucky won't at least reach out to him. What more does he need to accomplish at uconn. Probably not going to happen, but probably gets him an extension and a nice bump in salary. Then again he li...

Rumor out there that Cooley is no longer on Georgetown staff directory. Interesting

Nothing personal against Bilau, but I hope he's not being counted on to stay and provide meaningful minutes. Love his game, but he can't stay on the court.

Here's the latest Portal Tracker for Rhody: Portal-Tracker'24.png This is just what we had. Yuk.. funny I was wondering where the request was for season ticket renewal seeing women's came out earlier this week. It actually was in my spam folder this morning. I had all I could do to not respond who ...

A little off target. Was wondering what happened to jared grasso. Pretty sure I just walked by him in brigidos parking lot in north smithfield. Got out of his still damaged white suv. Guess he's still in ri. Kind of surprised. Glad I'm an old man now. Probably would have said something dumb to him 4...

No problem with Ways and Zek staying. Ways is still raw, good athlete...who knows, could be a decent back up and he did have a few flashes! Zek I'm definitely fine with. Don't think we should just give up on him. He showed enough flashes to prove that he can be a good player, we've seen it. We at l...

Hurley needs to stop with the rabbit ears. He's going to get in trouble. He looked like he was still jawing with the guy in the plaid jacket well after half ended. Fire is one thing. That's just wrong.

For some reason the media LOVES PC, can't say enough about them every game. As much as I despise them, I am jealous. I knew they would beat Creighton. Did you see how hard they played and the enthusiasm they played with from the coach down. Devin Carter superstar plays harder than anyone on the cou...

8jcvrl.jpg This is so backwards. What happened to just having a rooting interest in a team/school? Why are we being asked to financially back the team? Like someone said, the Boston Celtics don’t ask for donations. The funny thing is that we've always been asked to "financially back the team&q...

From the Projo today. Sounds like Archie wants to run it back with a good amount of the guys from this season. “We need to bring back a significant portion of this roster that’s about the right things, and we need our fans to start to grow with them a little bit. “We need our place to start to unde...

Perfect ending to a lousy season. March 18 should be interesting

He gets 5. He was the only one who could cover jimmerson . I repeat you can't take the 5th foul with you. Inexcusable mistake by Archie

Archie totally blew this game. How can he have weston on the bench and Montgomery out there. Horrendous in game coaching.

ram1980

You can't take the 5th foul home with you

ram1980

Why the hell is weston on the bench

ram1980

Finally playing with a little emotion. Why can't they do it more often? It has to feel better than just going through the motions. It's catchy. Keep playing like this and I have no complaints We’re a young team. That matters a lot. It’s why sr/veteran led teams win. Green, House, Weston and Kortrig...

ram1980

I don't know how you fix this with this cast of characters. There is not one of them that is a difference maker on defense. Does anyone think any of these guys will change over the summer? Does anyone think anyone of the supposed core really cares. If it hasn't meshed by game 32 it's not going to me...

Hopefully the Stone Freeman news brings life back to this program . Let's be relevant again starting in 2024.

ram1980

Awe inspiring senior appreciation ceremony. Sorry for the sarcasm. What a joke. Maybe ..maybe 1000 people in the seats and 2 team managers and Bilau. Discouraging the turn college sports has taken.

ram1980

My concern is not Archie's basketball pedigree. It's does he have these players respect? Examples: players constantly chirping at refs after fouls on them or no calls on the opponent. Terrible defensive effort almost across the board. Numerous times not hustling after loose balls. 2 egregious ones S...

ram1980

Rhodys defense reminds me of an 8 year old soccer game. Everyone is chasing the ball at once, then it pops out to someone for the goal.

ram1980

Wash, rinse, repeat.
Same old song and dance.
What else??
Main reason I am pissed is the 2 total lack of hustle plays by green and Montgomery where St. Louis guys were behind them and came up with the loose ball. It's the theme for this team.

ram1980

At this point, my impression of Archie is he can analyze the heck out of the game. Unfortunately, and I know it's still somewhat early, I am not sure his handling of the current college game dynamics is on par. I think he needs to use this off season to analyze his coaching strategy and make the nec...

ram1980

The last few minutes is why I'm queasy about Archie. Dubsky 2 3's. Then totally abused on defense. The kid is not quick enough on D. Play a zone with him in there. Coach to your players abilities. Show some flexibility Archie. That's a good coach. The ability to adjust in game. He never does.

ram1980

For a team that sucks so bad, they sure lead the league in whining and complaining. They are an unlikable crew including the coach at this point. All I expected and hoped for was continuous improvement. Instead I am rooting for a bunch of soft cry babies and a coach and coaching staff that certainly...

ram1980

Like I said last night, Green and Fuchs were jawing at each other going to the bench late for a timeout. Green slapped Fuchs in the back of the head. Throughout the timeout they were jawing at each other and had to be separated. Numerous players mouthing off to refs. Lots of frustration from them la...

ram1980

Never going to beat a good team with this putrid defense. Not one guard on this team can stay with anyone.

ram1980

Green smacks Fuchs in the head going into timeout. Fuchs angry. Almost fisticuffs. This team has issues

ram1980

Someone that may need to look in the mirror and reflect on what he needs to change to adapt to the new college basketball environment. Will his way eventually work or can he tweak his way to make this a successful program again?

ram1980

They seemed to be the most physical team we have played so far. Regardless of there size they imposed their will whenever they had to. Extremely aggressive across the board. Wouldn't mind watching that style of basketball night in and night out.

ram1980

Just got home. Lots of traffic out of parking lot. Semi kidding. Brought granddaughters home after sleepover and game (big shout out to NYGfan_Section 208. Thanks for the tickets). Cumberland house of pizza for much needed pizza and fiddleheads . Kind of same old story for me. We just don't have IT....

DG on the floor shooting during warm-ups. Hopefully a good sign.. participating fully

ram1980

I am looking for 2 tickets to next Sundays Loyola game .Ram 1982 and myself are hosting our 6 and 8 year old granddaughters for a sleepover Saturday night. Then we're topping off their weekend with the Rhody basketball experience. PM me please if available. Thanks in advance.

ram1980

Kudos to Brandon Weston and Tyson Brown for their defensive intensity and aggressiveness on the boards. Brown has resurfaced in the rotation and has provided a spark defensively and on the boards. Hopefully this energy rubs off on others.

ram1980

Amazing when you play a little harder on defense. Definitely more active hands and deflections leading to transition baskets. Maybe the best 2 way half of the year.

ram1980

Zone defense? Amen. Adjustments. Nice job Archie.

ram1980

I wouldn't be surprised by any decommitment or transfers out. People may think it's refreshing that Archie appears to tell it like it is in his press conferences after each embarrassing defeat, but current players and potential players may not take to kindly being thrown under the bus publicly . Sof...

ram1980

Remember when we ragged on cox for not knowing umass best player wasn't playing? Well, Archie's vaunted defense let there best shooter shoot 14 3's, most of which were wide open. The sky may be falling. There has been zero indication that this defense even has the chance to improve. It is abysmal. W...

ram1980

Foumena hurt his back on the big fall he took in first half. Was on stationary bike most of 2nd half.
What an ugly game by 2 ugly teams. Pat on back to Tyson Brown for multiple hustle plays in 2nd half. A win is a win.

ram1980

I'm going to be a broken record. This pack line defense does not work with this group of players . It's more like matador defense. Guard drives by our guard. Big comes off to help. Everyone starts running around cluelessly. Wide open shot the result. It's not working Sean Miller according to this cl...

ram1980

My unnerving observation watching that lackluster performance was the numerous interactions between head coach and players that brought frustrated reactions from the players and the same type of frustration between players during some of their interactions. Maybe reading too much into it, but I feel...

ram1980

To quote the guy from the waterboy. OH no we suck again. Why are we playing slow ball. Why are we stubbornly sticking to this God awful pack line defense. Our guards are either getting constantly burned off the dribble or running around aimlessly giving up wide open threes. Foumena only one playing ...

ram1980

Archie needs to do some sol searching. This team is extremely soft and has zero resistance to adversity. You can't teach effort, but you can demand it. Have they tuned him out, because these last 2 games has shown minimal effort right from the opening tap. We may be in for some roster turnover again...

ram1980

Get rid of the damn pack line defense. Scrap it. These players can't play it.. Come on Archie do something different. Adjust to your personnel. There is zero indication that they can play it..
