The officials may also check if the shot was made before the expiration of the shot clock, but only when such a situation occurs at the end of a half or an overtime period.

There's your answer. Not reviewable.

You can watch the full game on Grinnell's official athletic website - I couldn't make it through five minutes. Just horrible basketball. Also of note, there were 26 additional shots taken by players on his team - 134 shots total!

I'm hoping, but this Loyola team isn't bad. The beat Norfolk pretty easily.

I'm thinking Loyola might be the second best team we've faced so far. Not saying it's unwinnable, but I'm not as confident as you guys.

As the saying goes, past performance is no indication of future results.

This would be crazy for them, at least at this juncture. Their football program is over their head in the MAC!

Nothing official as of yet on this.

i say shut PC out :) I think the A10 goes to 16 permanently by either taking temple back and adding 1 more or adding 2 others I believe the A-10 will have 15 after this season when Temple leaves. They'll only need to add one more to make it to 16. But who knows what happens between now and then in ...

Baron cleared out Malone, Wilson and anyone else, who might impeded Billy'from optimum playing time. That included Nik. Nik is far more improtant to this years team than he was to last years team. Definitely agree with that. It may be true that Baron may have never been willing to sit his star last...

SmartyBarrett

Plus, did you see Nik on the bench? He was the team's biggest supporter last night. Wasn't moping or having a fit. He was jumping up and down, screaming, supporting. These guys are acting like a TEAM. This is everything we wanted (and hoped) we'd see. Now THAT is the difference in coaching right th...

I guess no one remembers this game: http://www.gorhody.com/sports/m-baskbl/ ... 0211wajmb7

SmartyBarrett

If this were the last administration, Nik wouldn't have started, but certainly would've seen the floor. Based on what? Nik had disciplinary issues last year and was also suspended for an entire game. Couldn't disagree with this statement more. The issue here is with Nik - not the current coach or t...

SmartyBarrett

FWIW, the other players are just as upset. I tweeted "Nik needs to get his shit together sooner rather than later. Could have really used him tonight." and Jordan Hare just retweeted it:

Puerto Rico tip-off is on ESPN2 at the time of the Rhody game. ESPN3 is where it's at.

Yeah, whenever they play ND. BC is almost as intolerable as PC. Their arrogance is only just slightly more justifiable.

I would agree with that. This year maybe not so much, but overall I agree.

Calling UMASS fans insufferable is ridiculous and certainly not any worse than our A10 opponents. Sorry, guess it's me. I can attest that living in Boston and getting taunted and heckled by them virtually everywhere I wear my Rhody gear gets on my nerves sufficiently enough for me to say I strongly...

SmartyBarrett

For next year, they'll have four players to fill two spots (PF and C): Aaman, Hare, Biruta, and Onyekaba. Martin could also see time at PF, but looking for another guy in that area isn't the worst idea. Aaman works hard but is a bit limited in the talent department, and Hare is a giant question mark...

SmartyBarrett

Agree with Rod and Rambone - I do think that UMass was playing better D than anything we saw under Baron, but otherwise, carbon copies.

SmartyBarrett

I find UMass fans to be more insufferable, but PC is a close 3rd. Notre Dame fans take the #1 spot. UMass fans are just Rhody fans in maroon. What are they supposed to do, root for URI? Not sure what that means. Your opinion is basically worthless anyway, if you're one of those ND haters. I find it...

SmartyBarrett

Good question, GONZO. First determinate here is margin of win by UMass. Your bet shows a 10 point margin, Billyboy shows a 14 point margin. So if UMass beats URI by 13 points or more, Billyboy is the winner. If UMass wins by 11 points or less, you are the winner. The problem is the margin differenc...

I'll be there.

Check out the RhodyRampage.com site for more URI content. http://rhodyrampage.com/2012/11/13/virginia-tech-69-rhode-island-50-recap/ Thanks for the plug, ATP.

BAR, I'm also POed at the lack of direct fan support that I saw in the CG and the NSU games. We wanted the change, and yet, people aren't exactly putting their money where their mouths were. I keep reading, "We have to start winning to draw fans back". Pathetic! Obviously the clowns you r...

SmartyBarrett

Hey ATP, yes, please, and thanks! The site has moved to the FanSided network (part of SI.com). I've been working a lot with their IT guys over the past few days getting content and stuff moved over and I hope to have everything squared away tonight. The official announcement will come after that. Si...

questioning the knowledge of a poster who cited the strength of Duquesne....they are going to be awful this season by all accounts. St Bonnies will fall back to the bottom and I do not have any confidence in Giannini at Lasalle regardless of how great of a backcourt they have. Thought the same thin...

I don't think we should get too hung up on height...I may be in the minority but I believe there are intangibles which go a long way in college basketball.....Charles Barkley is around 6'5" and had those intangibles.... I think a lot of what made Barkley great (strength, vertical leap, defense...

SmartyBarrett

Take it for what its worth, but our RR12345 or whatever buddy on Twitter said its a longshot that he is eligible. Given his track record, that actually made me hopeful that he WOULD end up being eligible. I wrote a post saying there was no credible information either way - kind of a shot at his Twi...

I guess NTSU is a decent football school, which would explain the poster's talking about football. Little does he know, nobody in NE cares about college football. Have they won any NCAA basketball tournament games? No Rod, they have not won an NCAA game yet, they have been the the Dance 3 times and...

My granddaughters had a great time, and got to go to Newport Creamery as a reward for being good. Oh man, Newport Creamery. That just made me miss RI big time. How many of them are left? Maybe only a handful or less. There's still one on West Main Road in Middletown, if I recall. Coincidentally, I ...
