Love it DC! I was reading their board too, ha ha.

luke

I is now 12-8 or 11-9 depending on how URyou look at the spread . since starting the season 1-3 they have gone 11-5 or 10-6 which I think
is very good , indicating the Rams have been underrated since early on in the season. Hope this trend continues.

luke

Oh , and TP don't you give URI any credit for the poor GMU shooting ? Most shots were heavily contested according to my eyes , don't you agree ? From my view , the effort was there and that is important . Otherwise , I can see your points to a degree , but players make mistakes and playing at the sp...

luke

Okay sure, the Rams did not play a perfect game tonight . Free throw shooting was abysmal , some easy layups and put backs did not drop , and maybe they bailed out GMU with some unnecessary fouls . On the other hand , they shot the ball very well on the road , shared the ball and rebounded well . so...

luke

The line is now up to - 5 1/2 . George Mason is struggling mightily even at home right now . The GM fans are expecting their own team to be blown out.
I am not saying they will be blown out , but I do expect them to lose by at least 5-7points.

luke

The early line is out and it is URI - 4 1/2 . That is a surprisingly small spread . I would think this line will move up to as much as 7 or 8 so if you want to play this game ,jump on it now and take URI and give the points . This should be a lock if there ever was one , but of course you never know...

luke

Check out the George Mason message board . They are really down on their team right now . Everyone is predicting a double digit loss for the home team. Have never seen such pessimism on a message board since Baron left Kingston. Hope their players are feeling it too.

luke

URI is now 11-8 against the spread or 10-9 depending on how you decide what the final spread for the games was.

luke

This was a tremendous team effort . I think they all gave everything today. Russell , dowtin and Martin were tough , but you could sayy that about everyone who played today. I thought the bonnies played a tremendous game as well . I don't think they could have played any better. I also think URI pla...

luke

Yes , seeing -3 mostly . Will it be -4 or -5 tomorrow ?

luke

Sorry TP ,the line has bumped up to - 2 butstill agood bet on URI .

luke

Not sure it is definite , but he missed the game at Dayton on Wednesday. Haven't seen anything saying he will play yet.

luke

The opening line for this battle is URI - 1 1/ 2. A very narrow spread here , but I think the Rams will cover this spread . Historically , Olean has been a very tough place to win , but The Bonnies are short handed and are lacking some of the talent they have had in recent times . Nevertheless , URI...

luke

looking at it realistically , we have very little chance to beat Dayton out for first , so having a very realistic shot at the second spot becomes even more realistic with a Richmond loss . A Richmond loss drops them behind URI in the standings if URI beats SBU so I am rooting for and also expecting...

luke

My thoughts exactly Ramrod . We want his blurb to read " Reminds many of Steph Curry with his deadly outside shooting range .

luke

I guess we were able to see Cyril's value to the team from the tale of two halfs , one without him in essence and one with him . I thoughtToppin's three really loosened up the team after Fatts had pushed the team ahead . Nice games from Fatts, Dowtin ,Martin and Walker and just a complete turnaround...

luke

The opening line is out as URI - 4 . That is probably a very fair line which indicates to me a very close game and URI should win with a good effort , but it is a winnable game for the Dukes if they have a really good game and URI has a below average effort . I think URI will be up for this game so ...

luke

Our offensive problems have been the same all along. Poor shot selection .When they see the ball go in the basket a few times , confidence builds.Poor shooting is ugly. It is not that none of the players can shoot. It is all about patience and shot selection . They are afraid to continue to move the...

luke

Great win by Dayton , what a comeback in the second half . They had just a horrible first half reminiscent of the ST. Joes game , but fought through it just as URI did . Quite a bit of help IMO from the officials for St. Louis ( 37 fts for SLU , 19 for Dayton ) I thought the flop call on Obie was bo...

luke

Finally got a line and it is URI - 11 1/2 . A big line but I have a feeling they are going to cover it . I wouldn't ordinariiy say that but
I have the feeling the Rams are ready for a big performance .

luke

I have been reading about how Dayton has historically had trouble against certain A 10 teams and how they have had trouble at SLU. Have you been watching this Dayton team this year ? It is by no means just Oie Toppin and it is not the same players they had even last season . They are a very veteran ...

luke

Ramster, I doubt very much that SLU will beat Dayton . Dayton would have to have a terrible shooting nigh to lose because SLU just can't score enough to win this game . They also don't have the depth or the height to defend . They do rebound well for a smaller team though. I would definitely take Da...

luke

Looked like Fatts finally relaxed after he hit a jumper and his confidence came back . No way they win without Fatts comeback. The team totally gutted this one out by paying tremendous hard nosed defense . I don't know what happened in the first half . Maybe the fact that they were told just before ...

luke

The spread has dropped to URI - 8 which s a bit more reasonable but I think - 6 or - 7 would be fair . if it drops to -6 I wouldn't be opposd to abet
on Rhody.

luke

The early line is up and it is URI - 9 . That is a big number on the road and especially at Hagan Arena . The Hawks have beenn up and down , mostly down but they can be very unpredictable having won at UCONN and taken Davidson to overtime . 9 points is a lot to give up too but then again SJU has als...

luke

Obie says he's fine and the ankle issue is no big deal . I would say it is 99 % certain he will play against VCU . Dayton could probably
beat VCU fairly easily at UD Arena even without Toppin.

luke

I am a big proponent of one game at a time mentality . The next game is the only game on the schedule . Let's forget about the next 8 games or
the NCAA tournament conversation etc. right now enjoy the season and beat St. Joes

luke

Rhody now 8-7 against the spread after starting out 1-3 so 7-4 since .

luke

Okay, for those who said our defense wasn't good against Davidson , it was just Davidson stinks, so I guess VCU stinks as well, huh ? And TP , what was that all about just frustration ? Sure a win over Richmond would have been much better , but if you can only have a win over Richmond at home or a w...

luke

URI has generally been able to get good looks against VCU but in some games they did not hit them regardless . At home they have shot better than away , but they major problems when they have lost down there has been silly unforced turnovers and lack of rebounding. BTW the point spread stands at VCU...

luke

The VCU fans on their message board are a little overconfident it appears , claiming they are much better than URI and should win by 10 points and making comments about how thin the URI roster is . I hope the VCU players are thinking the same thing . If the URI team that played at WVU shows up VCU m...

luke

The opening line is VCU - 8 1/2 . I think that might be a bit too large . I say take the URI Rams and the points . Very tough to win there though . Hoping URI can hang around long enough to pull the upset . URI should match up well with VCU . If they can have a decent shooting game they have a fair ...

luke

Have to totally disagree with comments that the Rams did not play well and Davidson stinks . Davidson has the reigning player of the year ( JON Axel Gudmundsson ) two preseason first team A 10 picks ( Gudmundsson and Grady) URI played excellent defense against them resulting in poor shooting nights ...

luke

The spread is up to - 3 1/2 on most sites this morning . Maybe a little love at the betting windows for The Rams , but not going
overboard. Starting to feel a little better about this game .

luke

Point spread is now at - 3 . I anticipate it remaining between - 2 1/2 - - 3 1/2 .

luke

The initial line is URI - 2 1/2 . Both teams are struggling offensively and both are on a two game losing streak so the streak will end for one of the teams . My hunch says The rams will pull this one out somehow , but there is not a lot of conviction it it. Leave this one alone . But if you feel a ...

luke

Agree with Ramstock that a major problem with the shooting is shot selection . Way too many off balance shots and prayer shots being attempted especially drives in the paint that are just flip up circus type attempts that are very low percentage shots . when Russell, Martin Doutin andHYarris are abl...

luke

I'm not sure people don't think things can be turned around , I think they had greater hopes for this team than they are seeing on the court . I include myself among the very disappointed . At this point , It is highly unlikely that an at large bid to the NCAA tournament can be gained . Is it possib...

luke

Beginning to looki exactly like last season and will probably bring the same results . It is very disheartening to watch this team fall apart the past two games . Has all the turnover brought this on or is this team just reverting to form after a few games near the top of its potential ? I hope it i...

luke

That was one of the worst performances I have ever seen in a college basketball game . They continue to force up VERY low percentage shots just hoping it will go in . Martin and Russell are the most guilty of it . I think this game may be over already . What has happened to this team ? They have to ...

luke

The spread is out at URI - 3 . This is a very difficult game to pick after Thursday's performance by the Rams. a double digit win by either team would not surprise me in the least . My advice is to avoid this game completely. I think Rhode Island needs this game much more than Richmond does , but th...

luke

Love Jeff's tweet . Way to go Jeff , that's the spirit . You aren't in your room sulking , you are trying your best to get better and I respect the hell out of that . I truly hope you weren't alone out on the court because you weren't the only one who needs to get better . the whole team should be w...

luke

Hoping this loss was just a blip on the radar , but I am not all that confident going into the richmond game. I was confident until this debacle .
Need this win to restore my faith . Need a fast start and to see some outside shots falling and I think the players need to see the same .

luke

This team has got to get some shooters ASAP . It has been the number one problem for several years , but Terrell and EC carried the load . there hasn't been any consistent shooter to replace them . It's about time they try to bring in a trio of shooters . it looks like even the weak teams can find s...

luke

dowtin has had stretches like this in previous seasons . I think he will start hitting his shots.

luke

No , they scored six straight to start the second half . The problem was that they continue to double the ball and allow open threes. You would think they would have figured out that Brown was hot and hitting all of their threes . Hurley would have stopped the doubling like he did when they played D...

luke · Re: 1/2 | Brown | 7:00PM (ESPN+) Sickening.

Sickening.

luke

Pretty much - 8 1/2 across the board now . could see some additional movement up tomorrow .

luke

The first line is out and it is URI - 6 . Seems like a small number and a good bet for Rhody fans . If you are inclined to bet , jump on this one before it goes higher which I am expecting it will . I would think -9 would be fair even though it is an away game. The Rams were hot in the last game and...

luke

Sounded like they played a great game . wish I could have actually seen it. The announcers on the free audio were very impressed with Rhode Island. They said they were the best team they had ever seen in their arena ever. Talked about how efficient they were on offense and how they contested everyth...
