Now we hate balloons? Sheesh. IMO let the students do whatever the hell they want.

I disagree that URI's perimeter D was significantly better last night. LaSalle could not hit open threes. Is this a result of the pack-line D strategy, and not being able to respond to the perimeter quickly enough for fear of not being able to retreat to the pack line position? Post game radio show...

bigappleram

That a boy “ pc15” right on cue. Dude seriously you need a F’n life. GO RHODY! I rarely defend 15, but Brady you are off your rocker tonight. LaSalle sucks and we are right there with them. I’ll go back and forth with anyone and argue with whoever, but eventually people seem to come around with a l...

Be nice if Fou and Fuchs can hit outside shots that would open them up to be able to play together I think 100% you want to keep both Offensively both have impressed in different ways and have bright futures In terms of playing together it’s all about the defensive end with Fuchs. Can he cover a fa...

They changed the rule bc it was being over called and anything remotely 50/50 was called a charge. But they still call it plenty and if you watch games there are plenty of guys stepping in and taking them.

Jaden House probably has a half dozen committed himself this year.

If you really want to get frustrated buy a case of Bud Light and sit home 1 game and listen to our ESPN+ product.

This is a question that has me perplexed. I'm interested to hear what others think. Did Archie look too much for shooting and not enough defense as a result of last year? After all, we are shooting well this year (with the exception of FTs, which is ironic because last year we were terrible shooter...

bigappleram

Most of our issues stem from a lack of talent. Archie's job is to keep our good players, dump the underachievers, and bring in more good players. Simple right? I don’t necessarily think that’s true. I think there is talent but not enough of them have that dog in them. Talented but mentally soft.

bigappleram

To further illustrate the deficiencies…we have the 2nd best eFG% in league games and 7th overall offense. And the highest free throw rate in the league. That would translate to wins if we could play any semblance of D, improve from the foul line and either cut down our own turnovers or create some f...

bigappleram

I'm sad. Disappointing, but there will be some positives we can take away from this season. The addition of Green and his impact vplus the play of freshmen Cam and Fuchs. I would add Foumena to that list. I like the energy he brings and if he can get stronger in offseason he could really blossom. W...

bigappleram

A lot of folks criticizing the 'pack line' but honestly it does not appear that we are even playing it. At first I thought it was just not being comprehended and executed well but if you watch, the most basic concepts of the defense are not even close to being followed. So it does not appear that t...

Zek Montgomery opened season with 8 straight double figure games. With an ability to score at all three levels.

Has now scored in double figures once in last 8 and I don’t recall a player falling off a cliff like him in recent memory.

bigappleram

I said it earlier in season somehow we followed a season with the worst offensive team I can remember (last year) with the worst defensive team I can remember. Do not understand what he is seeing in Always. He’s 4 v 5 on offensive end and was getting abused by their FR point guard. I agree Foumena s...

I think they will burn Eaton Street to the ground if that happens.

He's not getting cheered today. At best some may not boo him. The boos when he walks out, when he's announced, they will absolutely be deafening. Again, I'll speak for myself, I don't care that he left, I care how he left. You can say it happens everywhere, it doesn't. But that's my opinion. Whethe...

Pc is going to come out of this much better off then if Cooley had stayed. Kim English has had more five star visitors to PC in less then a year then Cooley had in eleven years. Plus I've been very impressed with how he's handled the Hopkins injury. I think Cooley's best year are behind him an Engl...

bigappleram

Huge difference between contacting a coach and gaugeing interest and actually having contract talks while the season is going on and team is in the middle of a run to the ncaa. I remember when PC contacted Cooley but they waited for talks after their nit run. I'm dure Hurley did the same may have l...

bigappleram

Ok let’s pretend those things are unique to this situation (which they aren’t)…you think PC wasn’t talking to Cooley while he was coaching Fairfield and they knew they were firing Davis. UConn wasn’t talking to Dan in the midst of a historic season for Rhody? Do you recall how we ended that season?...

bigappleram

UConn has not played URI in RI for some 40 years despite Rhody to this day still being the Huskies most played opponent all time by a wide margin. I doubt Dan Hurley breaks that policy If we were a ranked team, I think Dan might entertain it. Unranked? Not a chance. But if we were ranked I think he...

I can’t say that I’ve seen many teams that struggle so mightily with running back on defense. On that long pass Ramster referenced which led to a layup if you watch it back you see numerous guys just loafing it. Make it make sense.

bigappleram

A series of mostly mental errors ultimately cost us the game but the game down the stretch but that game was lost way before then. 34-27 Rhody and chance to create space and we played like garbage for 5 minutes. 54-51 us and we miss 2 front end of 1 and 1s and I believe Fou missed 2 as well. Just a ...

The three guys I mentioned were 1st and 3rd in points, 1st and 2nd in assists, and 1st, 2nd, and 4th in rebounds. There was talent here, it was just impossible to see how it would be a team because Jerry D was so bad. Imagine how much different Archie's rebuild would be looking if he inherited thos...

bigappleram

For all intents and purposes Jim Baron executed a quick turnaround and how did that turn out. Inherited the Jerry D dumpster fire and had the team in NIT in 2nd year. I just keep being reminded of the “we will be good when we’re good” from the press conference. Archie seems to have his own timetabl...

Not surprising what our best lineup is…luckily that seems like the starting lineup moving fwd.

Interesting answer about our defensive ability and compete level. Basically owned that it's not there.

bigappleram

Him and some other A10 numb skull called our fan base apathetic and drunk…prior to us rattling off 3 straight and still outdrawing more than half the league in terms of attendance. His opinion is worth diddly.

bigappleram

The talent level is a concern - doesn’t matter how great coaching is if you don’t have talent. We didn’t make up ground against their B and C teams. Compete level is still a massive issue. Tough thing to coach. Look these were our toughest two games coming back to back. No one in their right mind th...

Yep, of course they would. Yup, everyone should know a team wouldn’t fly into the morning of. Common sense. Why should everyone know this? When I flew private for meetings, I didn't fly the day before the meeting. I flew the day of, got off the plane, went to the meeting and then got back on the je...

I think Ramster just listed the 1 notable home run she has hit. Having our title game on CBS few hours before selection Sunday. That is a major coup. In terms of the off day I’m in the same camp as Blue that it doesn’t make much sense. I don’t think it has anything to do with rest for players. It’s ...

bigappleram

I agree with 15. Ironically last two games you saw our ceiling and floor. We hung 90 on Umass and struggled to get to 60 on Bonnies. Our real level is somewhere between that which with good coaching should net us in that 9-9, 10-8 range.

bigappleram

9-9, 10-8 would be a success IMO no matter where that lands us. Then next year we go in as a double bye contender.

bigappleram

Do they normally drive to UMass the day before a game? Probably not but depending on the start time and of course weather. Also I know when they hired Archie, they promised more charter flights but is that always the case now and no commercial. Pretty much. It's a 3 hour drive to Amherst. It's an h...

To my knowledge they flew back...which makes no sense to me. To then turn around and fly to Ohio tomorrow. Why not go to Ohio today, get some rest and get the team focused. Teams do that all the time when the turnaround is so quick. That is what I was thinking, seems like a lot of rushing. Also wit...

Did they fly back or head to Dayton? Why would they spend two days in Dayton? Don't know just asking. Would they fly back to RI today then fly to Dayton tomorrow?

Jersey77 was probably a fantastic middle manager for their bosses before they retired. All of their arguments just boil down to appeal to authority.

Not a referendum on the season at all, BUT there were some issues that have been prevalent this season that reared their heads in a big way yesterday... 1.) Most important to me is the compete level. We were simply bullied and out toughed. Our guys looked like they wanted to take their ball and go h...
