I am officially sick of Kevin McNarmara. First he takes a shot at Coach K by saying "of course he wins, he always has the best players" as if recruiting isn't a part of coaching and now he is criticizing URI for winning. If this were PC he'd be over the moon. Go to hell you biased troll.

KenPom now has us at #8 nationally in Defensive Efficiency. The only teams ahead of us are (in order from #1 to #7) Kentucky, Virginia, San Diego St., Louisville, Utah, Oklahoma, Arizona. That's 7 tournament teams more than likely. Now if only our Offensive Efficiency wasn't 228th...

Optimistic

No offense to Rod, but how about "good job Hurley"??

Optimistic

For all those bemoaning this "ugly" win: We are an elite defensive team. Winning ugly is going to be par for the course until we get our offense in order (which, let's be honest, probably won't be until next year at the earliest). After tonight's win KenPom now has our Defensive Efficiency...

I didn't realize Biggie was a freshman. What else did this guy get wrong?

Considering that guy registered just to post that link, I'm guessing he wrote it.

A year or two away? Do we have another 4* tandem coming in next year to provide depth on the bench? Dan is in year 3 now. In this year, I EXPECTED to go to the tournament. And no need to bench Gil, he's gone next year. Well unfortunately for you, your expectations have no effect on reality. And I d...

If you thought going into this game that we had a chance at making the NCAAs w/o winning the A10 tournament, you are insane. We have 0 good wins (Nebraska would've been our key win but they stink) and are very clearly a year (or two) away from being good enough. Does it stink that we lost this game?...

Optimistic

Disclaimer: We lost the game, not the refs. Having said that, Brian O'Connell should be considered persona non grata at the Ryan Center. Clearly has a grudge against Hurley. On one 50/50 out-of-bounds play Hurley appealed to O'Connell to give a second opinion. He refused to even talk to the other re...

Here is the list of coaches this year who have a vote: Tommy Amaker, Harvard; Randy Bennett, Saint Mary?s; Jim Boeheim, Syracuse; Todd Bozeman, Morgan State; Glenn Braica, St. Francis Brooklyn; Rick Byrd, Belmont; Scott Cherry, High Point; Tim Cluess, Iona; Ed Conroy, Tulane; Keith Dambrot, Akron; S...

Have to disagree about Knight. Guy clearly knows basketball but I think he's developing dementia. Only game I saw him do he confused the shot clock for the game clock 3 times in the span of a minute.

Optimistic

One last thing. 1-14 on 3's. Can we just stop shooting them? Pathetic. Again, EC 0-7. Ridiculous. He 's good, but FT's and 3 pt. shooting isn't his thing. Have to disagree. He's got the second highest 3P% on the team behind Butler, who's only taken 10 this season (stats not including this game). An...

Optimistic

I'm going to put the most positive spin I can think of to this game: We got the W (all that matters) and now Hurley has plenty of ammunition to use against the guys in the Film Room and at Practice, which should improve the team. If we lost this game it would have been a catastrophe... but we didn't...

Optimistic

Who in their right mind voted for Davidson in the Top 25 poll? Their best win is over Charlotte at home! I know they've been a pleasant surprise but they are not a top 25 team.

Optimistic

They got E.C's and Jordan Price's PPG wrong. But our super sophomores deserve the praise That's not their PPG he's referencing, its their "Points Produced Per Game". Not positive on how that number is calculated, but if you go to this link you can look at the A10 leaders for this stat (do...

Optimistic

They had up for about 1 second just now. Progress.

Optimistic

I tweeted at them and they said they're trying to get it fixed now.

Optimistic

Don't have Cox. Did Hassan Martin really hit a three?

Optimistic

SNY won't come up on my TV and the stream is showing a Dayton-Fordham rerun. Anyone else having issues??

This is the dumbest thing said in the history of this message board. Congrats.

Optimistic

I don't understand why Dan wouldn't let Powell and Butler play when it was clear the other guys weren't getting the job done. Did you watch the game? How would either of those guys help? Butler is one step above being a walk-on and we know what Powell is capable of. Hurley had the right guys on the...

Optimistic

lol. omg, there are so many things wrong with this team. I'm all done with these tools they always seem to get from Eastern Europe that just go into asshole mode during the game and go rogue and do whatever the hell they want at any given moment. Please stop posting. Racism and calling one of our o...

Optimistic

Inexcusable loss. Terrible defense and FT shooting. Well coached teams do both of those things well.

Optimistic

This is just like the PC game all over again. LET'S GET A GOOD SHOT!

Optimistic

This is painful to watch

Optimistic

Nice run there by Biggie to get us back into it. Defense is still killing us. That big white kid for them is a stiff and he's getting free looks.

Optimistic

Defense is terrible. They get a lay-up/dunk every trip down the court. Where's the intensity they showed on Thursday??

Optimistic

This is a must-win game, Detroit looks dreadful out there. Unfortunately we've looked worse this half.

Optimistic

We lead the country in getting beat down the court. Disgusting.

Optimistic

There's a lot of positives to take from this game. If Munford hadn't had his worst game in a URI uniform we would've won. Some help from the refs would've been nice, Iffy fouling out on a off-the-ball screen was total BS.

Optimistic

Good half. Limit the turnovers and silly fouls in the 2nd half and this game is extremely winnable. The only guy that scares me on Mason is Wright. Gujanicic sucks and clearly can't cover Gil.

Optimistic

If any of you really think Biruta is terrible just stop going to the games please. You're bringing down the average IQ. 17 points, 5-7 from the field, 6-6 from the line, 8 rebounds, 1-1 from three and a block. Yawn, guy's worse than Jon Clark. The team is right where every reasonable person expected...

Optimistic

Good win. Beating the #1 D2 school in the country is nothing to scoff at. A lot of D1 teams would lose to these guys. #10 looked like he should be starting for Gonzaga. Missed some of the game due to the Pats, but liked what I saw from Minnis, EC and Gil (offensively anwyway). I'd be shocked if the ...

Optimistic

EC looks great again (minus the turnovers). Rest of the team looks the same. If Gil is this hurt he's better off not playing and getting healthy. No reason our big guys can't dominate a D2 team down low.

Optimistic

Blaming this loss on the "baron guys" is a joke. Get a grip. The entire team played like crap, I don't care who recruited them.

Optimistic

It is way too early in the season to go into complete meltdown mode. I don't see how anyone could be surprised that there are growing pains. But this effort really was discouraging. The defense is just unbelievably bad, and the offense is about the same. I don't think anyone is "melting down&q...

Optimistic

It's not even about winning at this point, it's about not getting run out of the gym completely.

Optimistic

Gil looks lost on D. Guy gets by him every time. Zone isn't the answer, these guys have to learn how to defend man-to-man.

Optimistic

Sweep The Leg wrote:Time to pound the ball inside to Gil and the Big O. Rack up the fouls and get some free throws to score without losing the clock. Trouble is we shoot 50% from the line. At least it feels that way.

Shot 66% from the line in the 1st half. Not good.

Optimistic

Butler can shoot right, might wanna throw him out there Yeah let's put in the guy who threw up three airballs in garbage time against Maine. Butler will play with the walk-ons this year, if at all. SMU looks much better than last year obviously but so much of this is self-inflected. Munford has to ...

We'll have to start serving Old Style beer and polish sausages if we want Bill to come to a game.

I didn't notice if Hare was in class today, but I wasn't exactly standing outside his classroom looking for him.

Optimistic

He has a class across the hall from me Mon-Wed-Fri. He was there last Friday, I didn't notice on Monday. I'll let you guys know if I see him tomorrow. Mike Aaman is also in the class.

Optimistic

My apologies to Gilvydas.

I think the most telling info to come to light about this might be the anecdote Murdock tells where Rice uses the word "faggot" in front of a group of 10 and 11 year olds. Rice didn't lose his cool one time, he is a bigot with an anger issue.

Optimistic

Mike Rice is a spineless coward. He knows he can abuse these kids because if any of them talked back or physically confronted him they would be thrown off the team immediately. Gilvydas was the best player on the team both years he was at Rutgers and Rice still treated him like complete shit. Hope h...

Well at least Thorr didn't leave.

I love how the commentators talked about how Trey Burke shut down the opponents PG, but fail to mention, that guy held Burke to 6 points! The media has their pets, especially if they're BCS players.

Optimistic

They should consider offering more than 1 credit. That's nothing. Most majors require 120 credits to graduate, so even if you did pep band all 4 years, it really wouldn't help you that much. Make pep band a 3 credit course.
