Man these announcers are terrible. Not in the sense that they're homers, more that they're struggling to identify the Duqesne players.

Optimistic

I think we take this one 77-70. Stream is up and running.

Optimistic

The line I'm seeing has Duquesne -1

Speaking of ESPN, they did a list of the 75 best NCAA tournament players of all time. Bobby Hurley checks in at #16. Their choice for #1 should make Rod happy.

Those were the student-athletes that made Dean's List. They were honored at half-time.

It looked like Hurley was trying to signal for timeout after X hit the game winner but in the chaos the refs (who were TERRIBLE) didn't notice.

Optimistic

I had the best seat in the house when Marquis hit that shot to win that Dayton game. :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D http://www.unknownphotography.com/Sports/URI/URI-Exhibition-Vs-RIC/6492773_TxbNxH#!i=481154123&k=8pgkkPs I really like URI this week. I think it is a good situation spot for them. The...

I think a better term for how I feel would be "indifferent". If he made it to the tourney this year it'd be by winning his conference's tournament. They'd be a 14 seed or higher and get bounced in the first round. Who cares? We obviously have our sights set higher as a program.

Optimistic

Another slow start to the 2nd half. Don't understand it. I'm hesitant to lay it at Hurley's feet because I don't understand what he be doing to lead to these poor starts.

Optimistic

Didn't end up making it. Go Rhody!

Optimistic

Wisconsin hit an unbelievable shot with 2 seconds left in the game to send it to OT against #3 Michigan and won in OT. You have to see the shot to believe it.

Optimistic

One day of no classes isn't exactly catastrophic. You make it seem like it's a big deal. It's not. Neither are one more day's expenses. They'll lose that much just on concessions. You're right Rod, it's not catastrophic, but when it comes down to choosing between students attending class and fans a...

Optimistic

Sunday makes sense for fans, but not for SBU. They would have to pay for an extra day's accommodations, probably compensate the bus driver, etc. etc. Furthermore, the women's game is at 2 tomorrow, so if they did do a doubleheader, our game probably wouldn't start until 4. Game ends at around 6, SBU...

Optimistic

Well according to A10 rules, if both teams can safely get to the location of the game, it will be played as scheduled. St. Bonaventure arrived in RI today. If they had to postpone it, it would be a nightmare in terms of rescheduling the game. Sucks for us fans, but I don't see what other option the ...

Optimistic

Rumor is that Taylor fell off the wagon, did a radio show drunk and then showed up 30 minutes before the tip of their last game drunk.

Optimistic

I think we cover, but lose by 9 or so.

Optimistic

Hare....can't pass to him in the post, because he has no post up game. (Got that Gonezo?) Thanks for asking. I guess you just don't understand what I am trying to say. I don't want to litigate this all over again but I don't think he is going to throw down Dream Shakes on people. I just want better...

Aaman is no stud but comparing him to Shengelia is an insult.

Optimistic

Good article. Not sure where this sentence is coming from though: "And if past track record is an indication of future success, the powder-blue clad members of Rhody Nation, as their fans like to call themselves, will be in for a fun ride in the coming seasons." Try Keaney blue and I've ne...

Optimistic

Yeah I think the student's are getting a bad rap here. At least they make noise. Take the students out of the equation and its more like a wake than a basketball game.

Optimistic

He played last game and looked fine in warmups so I don't think it was injury related. More likely to be because of his ankle than the concussion anyway. They wouldn't have played him at all if he was still suffering from post-concussion syndrome.

Optimistic

Great effort by the team, good showing by the students. One of the loudest crowds in recent memory. Thought the team got contributions from a wide range of guys. Bigby gave them great energy, defense and even some scoring off the bench. Hare played well on offense but was abused in the paint, I lost...

Optimistic

Place probably looked empty on TV because the endzones were where all the students were. Another lame showing from the season ticket holders.

Optimistic

I wonder how long it will take for people on this board to stop bringing up Baron in every thread no matter how irrelevant. O/U 5 years?

He'd have to catch a pass or grab a rebound to have the ball in his hands.

Optimistic

I think the only thing more pathetic about Fordham than this griping about Hurley is their announcer's insistence that URI-Fordham is a rivalry. Please. URI-UMass are rivals. URI-PC are rivals. URI and Fordham are not rivals. In 2-3 years we won't even be in the same universe when it comes to the qu...

Optimistic

Never understood the Baron-hate from Fordham. If I were a fan of any other team in the A10 I would've been his biggest fan!

Optimistic

That board is a den of lunatics and delusional fans. One guy on there is seriously suggesting that Hare be suspended for elbowing Canty and Powell for shoving a guy. Give me a break. They can enjoy this win all they want, there won't be anymore coming against us in the near future.

Optimistic

Things aren't great right now, but they could be worse. Baron could still be here, or we could be Northern Illinois...

Just saw this in my URI email inbox... Thank You Letter from Coach Hurley Dear Students – I want to thank you for your support in coming out to the Ryan Center for our game versus George Washington last Wednesday. Thanks to you we had the largest student crowd of the season, 1,677. We need all that ...

Optimistic

With Hare the main problem right now is his weight and his effort. There are some plays on D when he gets scored on just because he is physically not strong enough to body up his man, but there are also just as many plays where he doesn't move his feet or make any attempt to prevent his guy from get...

Optimistic

Great. Now we'll get 2,400 for VCU Wednesday night. Just can't get over what a horrible game this was. Glad the bus trip got cancelled. Ugh! As for why Munford got the last three shots, HELLOOOOO! he's the only player on the team that can get a shot whenver he wants. Doesn't mean he'll make it, but...

Optimistic

There was bad calls both ways. The phantom offensive goaltending comes to mind.

Optimistic

Worst loss this year by far. Team played like dogshit for 40 minutes, and had no business even being in the game at the end. Don't understand forcing the ball to Munford three times at the end of the game when he had played so badly. Give Malone, TJ or Mike a shot. Most aggravating game since the Ba...

Optimistic

Pretty bad half as a team, we're lucky to be winning. I thought TJ and Brooks both played well, but didn't see much of anything out of anyone else. Nik is back to bumbling around and Powell looked lost out there towards the end of the half.

Optimistic

Fordham just lost to Dayton (1-3) by 45 points. Dayton's first 3 games were losses to Butler, VCU and LaSalle - not exactly an easy way to start the A10 play against those 3 teams. But a 45 point blow out???? Even without Gaston that is embarassing. If we lose to Fordham, without Gaston, that would...

Norfolk St is awful.

I meant to say Norfolk St, had a brain fart.

Optimistic

We win either way. Fordham is terrible, and this team may not be that great but we've taken care of the bad teams we've played against (with the sole exception of Loyola).

Optimistic

Can't find much info on this. All I can glean from googling is that he did not make the trip to Dayton and that he missed a month earlier in the season with a knee injury. Can't find confirmation that the previous knee injury is why he missed the last game. The game is on TV tomorrow on the YES netw...

Optimistic

Dan Hurley doesn't need any help recruiting from us on the board. Leave the recruits alone, they have enough to think about right now.

Optimistic

There was one instance last night where URI received a 5 second call out of a time out. Needless to say Hurley blew a gasket and mouthing 'you gotta be fucking kidding me to Nik' on tv. I don't how it looked on TV but that was the fastest 5 second call I've ever seen. That ref with the white hair i...

Optimistic

The guys over at the GW message board are treating this game like its a gimme. Lets make em eat crow tonight boys!

Optimistic

Howard is incredibly overrated, but I would argue that he is being seriously hampered by a bad back this season. Even a healthy Howard wouldn't do much to improve the Laker's play this year.

I saw him on campus this afternoon sans crutches, hopefully that's a good sign.

What a great team effort. We won because the entire team hustled and played their hearts out. No one carried us. Every single player contributed. When Ryan Brooks hit an open jumper I knew we had a chance to win this one.

Optimistic

That was John Stockton's son who turned the ball over for Gonzaga.

I understand what Optimist is saying. My point was with those who actually have purchased seats and don't show. It's the same empty seats every game in the season ticket areas. I think Hurely is saying, "If we're making the effort, then the fans should be making an effort, because we're all in...
