Could have easily taken W&M into OT by simply kicking the PAT.

True. Could have easily made the season by converting the 2, also.

Delaware kicked our ass. Maybe there was some hope that the game happened long enough ago to overcome it on overall resume grounds, but blowing that UNH game ended up being a killer. Had two chances to sure up a bid, one early and one late: if we had beat Delaware or UNH we’d have been in, but we di...

I mean…for the billionth time. The ProJo is a business. Coverage is dictated by clicks/views of subscribers and paying customers. If you’re a business looking to figure out a new product to lean into - casual impressions, things like ancillary events that support the programs, like this zoom - are ...

I’d be curious to know based on his experience with Alex in prep school and where Alex is now with his game, what he thinks Alex’s realistic ceiling is as a college player.

Those two little semi-floaters or whatever you’d call it that he hit from below the FT line (they were kind of push shots more than floaters) were very important makes in the context of the game. He can grow into a role on a good team without becoming a marksman from deep, he just needs to limit the...

Or just less shooting. The assists are good, all those missed shots just use up possessions though. No way that a 20% shooter (or whatever the actual number is) should be using so many possessions. That’s going to kill his efficiency.

Hutchinson coming out party tonight. I don’t follow recruiting as closely as I used to or as closely as some here do, but I was kind of surprised when people were talking about him like a long term project before the season. His body isn’t totally ready for really high level college basketball yet b...

100% support the decision by Archie here. Not thrilled with where we’re at with Bray but since we’re here the coach can’t just let it fester. It’s sink or swim time for Bray.

Plus-minus can be valuable over time, especially in pro basketball. The problem with using it in college basketball is that by the time you accrue a viable sample size, the season is pretty much over. Using it after two games is especially silly, and you can kind of see why, given the results. Our ...

It's also not helpful, even if it's just shtick, to downplay how far we have to go to get to the top of A10 again. The "we are going to the NCAAs this year" BS clearly had some believers and now these same ppl are freaking out bc we are 0-2. And you are like have faith, Archie is a great ...

Oh wow who could have seen that coming [raises hand emphatically]

this isn't hockey. +/- doesn't mean diddly poo It definitely means something over the course of time. Like most statistics, it is a single data point and not the whole story but if you have a big enough sample it can reflect some things that a player does that dont show up in the box score (and the...

if we start the season 0-3 at home.... yikes. these guys need to get on the road. go do a little more team bonding, team boozing, team something. I'm certainly not oozing confidence like I should be in this one. I was going to say the same thing. I feel like a game away from the Ryan would probably...

TSU shot 52% from the field. Was that because of good shooting, poor defense or a combination of both? Wasn’t there so I am interested in knowing what some of you saw in person. The kid Herrell couldn’t miss. Made some really tough shots down the stretch. I think a lot of it is down to good shot ma...

URI’s bench should be able to beat this terrible team. Enough with the excuses. There is a talent disparity between TSU and URI. Talent alone should be enough to beat Quinnipiac and TSU. TSU’s team is littered with JUCO and Division 2-3 transfers . In for a long 3-4 years. Further down the sh!tter....

I think it’s possible that all things being equal Goodman was right but we stepped up and Thorr hit a home run in his presentation and the job he ended up offering Archie was appreciably better than what they would have otherwise anticipated.

The biggest positive for me tonight is that nobody has called for firing the coach. I always saw this as a bit of a rebuild, but I didn’t appreciate how much of a rebuild it’s actually going to be - never really considered the possibility that we might lose the opener at home to Quinnipiac. It will ...

season record -- 20-11
a-10 record -- 11-7
team scoring -- 71.8
top scorer-- Bray 14.5
home att. -- 4,850

You could cry about if you think that will help.

I think Archie is a lot smarter than to expect that this program is going to have Dayton-level attendance and demand for tickets from day 1. As Dan would have told him I’m sure, our fans will show up but you have to give them a reason first. First comes the on-court results, then comes the fan engag...

According the ESPN this game is in a 7th overtime but nothing that is happening in the game cast on the app makes any sense.

Is there a way to watch this other than whatever scam thing “flosports” is?

Heart issue? This team will definitely have to play through some adversity… Where did you get this from? If it was from this: I guess nobody knows what is going on. This is like Belichick with the Cam Jones injury. These are college kids. It could have been something like an irregular heartbeat. No...

Yeah, we should never talk about anything except right now in the program. Only present off season October talk. Dan Hurley? Who’s that? Jim Baron? Nope! Not up in here! Jerry D? Never heard of him. Harrick? Don’t you dare. Skinner!? Absolutely not. Penders!?!? Not on my watch. Can’t believe anyone...

I don’t think it’s ever been a “talent” issue with Fatts - which is why he was so maddening to watch. It was a consistency thing. If Fatts got to play 4 years for Dan I wonder what the opinion of him would be here. Which player stood out from the Cox teams? Even Baron had like half dozen guys I thi...

Is this good?

Lol LFG RHODY!

Lamest beef I’ve ever seen.

Ummmm, they made the playoffs last year with a rookie QB. How'd that turn out? They made the playoffs in his 1st year. Are you one of those spoiled fans who expect a Super Bowl trophy every year? The brief post-Brady period has really exposed Patriot fans as being not just spoiled but also not supe...

It’s true enough. Michigan, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Tennessee, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Florida. Two of our neighbors...

I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s been almost 30 years of the most minimal investment allowable under league rules.

I still think an effort should have been made to lure the Revs to this site. I know the Krafts do not want to invest in the team, which is a shame because I feel like they’re ignoring the potential value of the asset if they would only pay attention to it.

The uniforms are fine even though I prefer URI to Rhode Island which could be used by RIC and CCRI. The SUNY system doesn’t have a flagship and NJ’s is called Rutgers, but every other flagship state university in the country goes by the state name. “URI” is fine as an alt, or an informal shorthand ...

Going to need a pair of those shorts for Christmas

I guess “both took over struggling programs” is broadly true but the rebuild job Dan had to do after almost 20 years out in the wilderness was a much taller task. That said, 77 has identified some of the larger structural issues that could make the ceiling for URI now a little bit tougher than it wa...

Sorry to see the Legend Don Kaull retiring but very ready for the Chris DiSano era to begin. Chris is going to be excellent in that role. Really looking forward to futzing around with the timing on the TV to get it synced up with the radio broadcast!

I don’t think - judging by every other aspect of my life - that I’ve just suddenly become extremely zen. But I just can’t get worked up about this the way I think I would have five years ago. I think Harris would be a stud here, and I hope he finds his way to campus and onto the court. I also just f...

NCAA football: you have to play infinite overtimes in which it becomes increasingly unlikely that you will get a game-ending defensive stop

NCAA soccer: sorry, you have to make out with your cousin

Given enough time, the people in charge will ruin literally everything. That’s the way the world works.

The persistent narrative the Notre Dame doesn’t play a hard schedule is one of the stupidest things in sports. Their schedule is perennially among the hardest in the sport. I can’t always tell if the people that make that argument just hate Notre Dame or really don’t follow college football closely ...

I don’t think it’s Alex. The problems in the clubhouse are with the guys upstairs, not the manager’s office.

Wtf is going on with this team? Tailspin City. I’m not sure why this is so much more of a thing in baseball than it is in other sports but it definitely feels like the contract sagas with Raffy and Bogey have this team in an absolute funk. The idea that they would get cute with these guys and not ju...

I like the cut of this guy’s jib.

I haven’t thought about the football team much recently but now that the season is just around the corner I’m starting to get a little excited.

Damn. I can’t believe Bill has done the impossible and spoken to the URI coaching staff.

Said from the jump just stick to making content. Having a voice where your opinion matters is something that is earned over time and a result of the community valuing your input; you can’t appoint yourself to that role and jump the line. This guy wanted to shoot the moon: do content, break news, and...

If the ACC wants UConn they will pay that exit fee without blinking. Maybe they make UConn pay it back out of their revenue share of the course of 20 years or something.

You need a voting system people can trust and believe is not fraudulent. And if people don't trust the election process why even have elections? I would not trust sending cash in the mail to pay my property taxes, I certainly would not trust sending a mail-in ballot to a State-Run operation that is...

I'd be curious as to what eliminating the 3-point line would do the game, both college and pro? (Trust me, I know this is 99% unlikely to happen.) Would Steph Curry still be shooting the same shots from 27-feet like they were layups? If yes, then why even have the 3-point line? You'd have to defend...
