I did not feel good as this game was playing out. Every time URI made a run, St. Joe's came up with some outrageous score. Seemed like nothing was working. Have to give credit to Hurley and his team for staying with it and wearing Joes out toward the end and finally getting hot. Great victory. Even ...

RF1

they looking like they are playing hard but are just confused as to how they should play. allowing penetration to basket is inexcusable

RF1

awful start to the second half. hurley and his players have no answers for this team. seem to be incapable of making adjustments. this game is playing out like two weeks ago. looks like the guys will be coming home today to kingston for the selection show. 8 or 9 seed likely.

RF1

frustrating game. every time uri gets it close (2-4), they have an empty possession snd sju gets a big offensive play to get the lead back up again.

RF1

the last sju possession was a killer ec fouls a guy that makes a tough shot and the one. dan has got to figure out a better offense and get the guys to play more defense.

RF1

need to get this lead down at the half. play better d

they are taking to us again and beating us. we seem to have no answers. may just be a bad matchup for us.

RF1

They are settling for too many threes again like the last meeting. that is not good.

RF1

Getting close to game time.

We have a game today that starts in less than 30 minutes. Let's focus on that. This crap can wait.

Got to attack that zone today and make some outside shots early. Important to get off to a good start.

As has happened often with the A-10 Tournament, the local schools and fan bases that were a big factor in site selection, have all exited before the semis. All four DC/VA schools are now out for 2018. The tournament this weekend will not have much local flavor. Same as last year in Pittsburgh when ...

Always got to have this when we play St Joe's:

My guess...

Maybe because we are not in their media market that we don't hear it, but i'm surprised Mark Schmidt is not mentioned for any openings...I assume he will be at the end of this season. He has done great work up in Olean. His name (Schmidt) has been associated with Pitt. He has connections to the are...

URI's RPI rank has moved up to #14. The worst case scenario of a loss today would see it fall to #18. Other RPI ranks of note: Virginia #1, Nevada #17, St Bonaventure #21, Providence #31, Seton Hall #32, Alabama #36, Charleston #59, and Davidson #77.

Crazy stat !!!! It is one I like to use when some Friar fans try to discredit URI's record by attributing it all to a weak A-10. They somehow forget that URI is an undefeated 2-0 versus the Big East with both games having been against its better teams while PC has a losing record of 1-2 versus the ...

RF1

Nevada is getting smoked losing to San Diego St. 55-25 at the half. With a loss, Nevada's RPI rank of #12 will fall to #16 and cause URI to jump to #14. URI could also possibly jump them for NCAA seeding. Regardless of the outcome today, URI at Nevada will still remain a Quad 1 game. Nevada's loss w...

Bonnies had to hang on at the end (83-77) after almost completely losing a 17 point 2nd half lead. Richmond was able to get it to just 2 with under two minutes. SBU's Courtney Stockard went to the bench with an injury as the Spiders mounted their comeback. Stockard never returned and is questionable...

I did not realize the official A-10 Tournament post game press conferences are on Facebook Live right after the game. Here is today's:

but still not a q1 win. ;( See what tomorrow brings..... ;) let me rephrase... still not a q1 win...yet... PC's RPI rank is now for the moment 30 after the win. A home win versus a top with an RPI rank of 1-30 is a Quad 1 victory. URI's December win over the Friars is for the moment a Q1 win. URI's...

With the Auburn Tigers loss to Alabama today coupled with Kentucky beating Georgia, URI jumps over Auburn to the #15 ranking in the RPI. it is just a fraction ahead in the RPI rating which means the outcomes in other games (opponents SOS factor) not involving them could cause some fluctuation. Scree...

The release reads that as part of her eventually getting onto the committee for next year, she will shadow THIS year's committee this weekend as a sort of orientation training process. While she may have no vote in the process, she hopefully can have Rhody's back when there is seed discussion.

RF1

While VCU clearly and understandably (short distance and large loyal fan base) had a big crowd, URI seemed to have a decent sized contingent given the distance to DC by the Rhody bench corner. Would think it will only get larger with the weekend.

There were rumors here before the season started that URI was trying to get a series with St. Mary's. Gary Parrish seems to have confirmed it through a conversation with Hurley which only recently was made public.

RF1

The worse that URI can do RPI ranking wise looks to be about #18. With PC and Alabama solidifying bids, seven of URI eleven OOC opponents will be dancing and two others are in the NIT. Hopefully this (along with today's win) will improve URI's seeding so it is not on the 8-9 line. Would love to at l...

Great win over VCU, URI closed it out and they did not...18-8 down the stretch. There is nothing more pathetic than seeing fans who live in the past and slow to get the message that the Havoc is dead and has been for a quite awhile. A message to VCU fans - there is a new Ram in town and not a copy ...

RF1

I believe Rhody was a lock before today but a loss would have given fans some anxiety going into the Sunday selection show after three straight losses. Today's win should erase any doubt and make Sunday anxiety free except when it comes to seeding. Sunday will be a fun day for the SECOND STRAIGHT YE...

RhodyRam86 wrote:Now I want St. Joes. I think the team needs that win to completely restore confidence.

I don't think they will need any motivation if they play St Joe's. Will however have to do a much better job vs the press than parts of today's game and the senior night game.

RF1

We thankfully made our free throws to close it out. Big run to end the game after VCU had went ahead. Gutted it out. Dowtin was huge today. Hopefully this game gets them back on the track they were on several weeks ago. Should at least be a confidence boost.

RF1

not taking advantage of tilman on the bench. not good.

RF1

when did the refs decide tilman was lebron?

RF1

these missed free throws will decide this game. Horrible from the line today.

RF1

Fouls could play a key role in 2nd half. At half time, both teams have three players with two fouls:

URI - Berry, Langevine, Robinson
VCU - Tillman, Mobley, Crowfield

RF1

JT is in a funk. Cannot buy a bucket. Missing ft's and turning it over. Really hurting us.

RF1

I do not understand how a team that shot free throws decently most of the season has gotten so bad.

RF1

What has happened to our ft shooting. 1-5 so far.

https://twitter.com/BillKoch25/status/971888703693082626 In some respects, I agree with EC.

Most conference members would think New York is in our area. It's only one hour longer to get from URI to New York as it is to get from Richmond to DC, and that's not even counting the frequent train service if you drive in to Connecticut and travel from there. We need to stop complaining that the ...

That was a quote from Pete Thamel report. Relevant when national media like Thamel talk about local coach. Yianni is a friend of the program. Twitter novices over here? Regardless of friend or not, his retweet is further promoting nothing but speculation. Curious that I did not see any our local me...

Bracketologists are saying they are out (which P5 BS). These conferences with 8 teams. You should have to finish .500 or better in your league to be eligible for the Dance. St Mary’s is 28-4 and some have them on the bubble. I love how the CBS guys keep ripping St Mary's for refusing to play Rhode ...

Yianni seems to like speculating more than reporting.
