Need a little city ball on him to teach him a Rhody lesson.

Pretty good half considering Kortright didn’t attempt a FG and missed most of the half with 2 fouls. I guess Wright didn’t make any mistakes? Didn’t really do anything positive either but I’ll take it. Made a nice pass to green for a basket and hit his only shot. A,little quicker,on D than Kortrigh...

With Weston out, That’s a big deal with Zek playing so badly.

McRam

A factoid- as of this posting, we had 74 posts concerning this game—. On the UMass board they had 19 posts about this game!

Meaning?

McRam

My concerns. If Cross plays, will Green get in foul trouble? Will Fuchs play Cohen straight up with no help and be defensively effective. When Fou plays, can he stay on his feet against Cohen?

Crowd pushes us over the top by 5 !!

McRam

was it 4 3’s also? When did he become a 3 pt shooter?

McRam

Stevie, u r right. It sounds like just ANOTHER missed marketing opportunity!

McRam

Congratulations to the Rhody Nation fams that were at the game. Looks as if Rhody Nation is alive and well in Carolina. Had a chat with one after the game and,wondering if there was an unpublisized Alumni group prior to,the game? If not, can’t we do it at all away games? Betting there are some loyal...

Removed the tornado watch and issued a flood warning. Not sure if Belk Arena is downhill !

Hard to believe facts before the game tonight. We are better at 2 point shooting (47%v44%) and better at 3 pt shooting (34%v33%). Another stat, the talked about David Skogman who is 6"10", 240 lbs has a total of 2 Blocked shots in 12 games. I think we can assume what kind of player he is- ...

I live a couple of miles from the school and the weather is bad, but not anything that should prevent going out or driving. Just went to the supermarket and there was plenty of toilet paper so I guess it is not really that bad!!!! On these kinds of games do we fly in the night before or the day of t...

Anyone going to the game- or I am the only one? Remember, it is BOGO. ( buy one, get one) for Beer that night.!

He is still there- on the coaching staff.

McRam

We beat a team tonight that had the best player on the floor. Major progress. That play where Weston ran the baseline then immediately reversed the ball was brilliant. Textbook. Sloppy game at times but URI battled all night. Good start to A10 play. Weston ‘s defense might have been the difference ...

rhodysurf wrote: ↑3 months ago Feel like St Joes is a terrible matchup given how bad rhodys three point defense has been. Rooting for a shocking upset and pissing off A10 fans tho

Yep, so this is a good opportunity for Archie, -can he make the adjustments to cover the threes:tonight. If they can, a nice victory will be ours.

McRam

Get your point! Should I send onto Thorr and Parlange?

McRam

I was intrigued on a Davidson marketing plan that we are part of. A three game package of VCU men, VCU woman and is for a total price of 10 bucks! Looks as if center court about half way up the top tier( really not bad seats and a lot better than end seats ) PLUS a BOGO beer offer. Buy one, get one ...

McRam

I’d be very surprised if Green doesn’t start vs Joes Not sure who he replaces but think it’s Ways or Cam I don't think Cam is being replaced. The guy can play. Sure he makes freshman mistakes, but he is one of our most skilled player. The starting five. Point. Ways or Kortright Other guards, Cam, H...

McRam

I see the analogy of DG and Delray. Before those observations,and seeing first step, his ability to go to the basket, having an 3 pt shot and being a good rebounder I was thinking that he reminded me of a left-handed Tyrese Martin.

McRam

Seems like Weston has a lot going on. Could still be dinged up too. Not giving up on him yet. Happy New Year! I would love to see Weston turn it around and be a solid part of the rotation, he has the skills. Yep. At the very least, Weston can play defense. This is very obvious when Weston comes in ...

Quicker than Luis and better against quick guards.

rhodysurf wrote: ↑4 months ago I legit didn’t notice Weston not playing. Looking forward to Wednesday even if it may get ugly

Frankly, maybe it should be Zeke not playing—. Phantom defense and high school turnovers. At least Weston gives us defense.

gorhody89 wrote: ↑4 months ago Feel like that’s the first charge we took all year

Yes, u r right. AND, on the floor for loose balls several times. !!

Pretty soon I’m thinking they will commit a hard found on a layup!

McRam

Merry Christmas to all and looking forward to the start of the 2024 basketball season.

McRam

Obviously thorr isn’t firing Arch tomorrow, but if he doesn’t turn it around soon…or at least show signs of life… We’re on pace to what, maybe win 2 more games this year? Home dogs to Northeastern? Can’t beat Brown? C’mon! You HAVE to win more than 9 games this year, and you HAVE to be above .500 n...

McRam

In the post game presser Arch made it sound like it would be awhile , hopefully by conference we can get one or more of DF DG and JB back I didn't hear him give an indication in the presser that he would be back at all. Has he definitively said he will be? I keep hearing that once denied, Green &qu...

McRam

Yeah it looks like they beat every Q4 team by 20. Might be a formula going forward. Play the worst teams in the country and blow them out. That's why team sheets also have their KenPom, Sagarin, and KPI rankings on there. NET isn't the only metric used. I have not been able to find any Sagarin rati...

McRam

I'm going to ask this here, but I'm sure once the NE game preview it will be discussed. What happens if URI loses to NE or wins by a slim margin? NE lost by 2 to Vermont and Virginia 2 teams way better than us so I think it will be a close game We will start the conference play with 0-0 record. Fro...

Does anyone know if there was a definitive reason announced by Archie announced as to why DG did not play vs UNH ?(or apparently not even suited up

Sorry, but you can ask a better question than that!

The frustration with the fanbase is palpable at this point in time. We've been in a perpetual state of suck since Dave Cox was named head coach 5 years ago coming off some of the best years we've had with Hurley. We finally seem to have some talent in the program along with a proven D1 coach and we...

McRam

A cynical, skeptical person would be concerned about the David Green situation. Firstly, no word of an injured knee until we CAN legally use him. Does it make sense, that if he was practicing with the team, then gets a knee injury and then Archie said he was on his own program and no longer required...

The question is, “ if we lose one of these games, are the wheels still on?

Having trouble deciding if that is optimism or pessimism!

McRam

You can’t really be a disciplinarian type coach anymore since players will just tell you to F off and they’ll transfer if they don’t like how hard you are on them. And it appears you need some consistency and time to learn this stupid defensive system, which you will not have anymore with the trans...

hrstrat57 wrote: ↑4 months ago It’s a hoot that it’s tossed around regularly here that S Thomas is a better player than Wright.

Wright is a baller. Keep your eyes on this kid.

He definitely seems quicker on defense than any of the other guards

40% increase compared to what year?

Like so many on the team, his defense was not impressive !

Good road win for Delaware - even if it is against an Xavier team missing key players and therefore, not as good as expected. Delaware will be a tougher home game for us than I first expected. That said, I counted it as a win when predicting our record and I will stick with that. The Delaware game ...

McRam

There’s a huge amount of college/nba players who’s offensive careers centered around the mid range. Use it. It’s a greater percentage shot then 3 and less contested than a layup. Pick and roll to the basket also work much better once you hit that mid range jumper off the pick and the defense needs ...

McRam

Fuck it, I guess I'm not done bitching. On another note, I get we have a "script", and we only announce the head coach on the visiting team, but how the FUCK do you not announcer that former Rhody great Tyson Wheeler, who is being honored later for God sake, is part of the visiting team? ...

McRam

What about Jeremy Foumena what do you guys think of his play so far ?? I like his baby hook going across the lane a lot, but, it appears that has disappeared from the game plan. (as has Kortright down low and high, low big man game) He loses his balance too easily and clearly needs more strength to...

McRam

I’m having a tough time chalking this up to being a developing team. Gotta agree with Chris D. on the need for more pressure throughout the game. Too little. Too late. Yep, Archie made no attempt to go with only one big in the game until the last min or so. Considering our poor defense and lack of ...

Just wondering if there are any "true blue" fans in the Charlotte area that are going or thinking of driving over for this game?
