They have a NET 20+ spots higher than WKU so not sure how you can say WKU is a better win. How about my eyes watching both teams play. Pretty simple. Just because North Texas may have gotten beat up by a bunch of good teams or won by 10 or more against bad teams that manipulates a flawed system in ...

Also of note last year we had a big halftime lead on them and they came all the way back to give us a crippling loss. Hope that serves as some motivation.

bigappleram · Re: 1/22 | Duquesne | 7:00PM (ESPN+/YurView) This time I agree, must win.

This time I agree, must win.

:shock: All I saw offensively from Harris was no scoring touch at all. I didn't see the box score but Cox seemed to have him on the bench for most of the game. Harris has had a chance his whole time here and hasn't contributed much offensively. Except for a dumb foul here and there he has been a co...

I agree with that, but also he can use his ability/preference to attack downhill by dribbling right at a perimeter defender and forcing the guy to pick him up and then passing into the area that guy is responsible for - that is one way to start the ball movement/motion that we are talking about. Th...

bigappleram

Agreed TP. And I’d posit that zones hurt us this year mostly because they throttle Fatts moreso than bc we are bad shooters. Our guys wide open can knock down shots but that requires the ball to move, preferably inside and out but even quick reversals on the perimeter with a drive, pass, pass combo ...

I don’t think in Disano’s postgame he was comparing Lasalle’s zone to Syracuse who are pretty much the gold standard for effective 2-3. Just illustrating that like Cuse if you don’t attack from within the back line wings can creep out and you are doing them a favor by just taking ill advised perime...

If UMass continues to suck this year, McCall is gone. The AD forced him to fire all three of his Assistants last year.
What a shit show.

I think he’ll get another year no matter what, but he looks in over his head.

Creighton is a nice team but not Top 25 quality. A team like LSU, for example, would dismantle them IMO.

bigappleram

Based on opponent and students back we should put close to 7k in there for Duquesne, SLU, Dayton and VCU.

bigappleram

Going to Siena.

bigappleram

Tyrese and Fatts shot 35% and committed 12 turnovers between them.

bigappleram

Since league play our defense has gotten better and our offense has gotten worse.

bigappleram

I can't even imagine what page 3 and 4 of this thread look like

bigappleram

Today for the first time we made Joey Brackets “other teams considered” list - just keep winning. Go Rhody.

bigappleram

How can this team do well unless Fatts does a better job of sharing the ball when he is having trouble scoring for whatever reason? Fatts is averaging 5 assists/game with an over 2/1 A/TO ratio. This team also needs him to score in order to win. Let’s stop with this shtick that’s not backed up by a...

Fwiw the richest guy in South Carolina is a URI grad and former wrestler. Sadly I had to stumble upon this information and share it with Athletics. He tried to buy the Panthers a couple of years ago. Joe Esposito? BEN NAVARRO: CHARLESTON FINANCIER When he was an undergraduate at Rhode Island in the...

Funny that even though they are conceivably the worst free throw shooting team ever I don’t hear audible groans and gasps coming from their fans.

bigappleram

FYI his name is Scott Hazelton. Not Hazeltine.

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...

It's RI, which means it's akin to an Italian Sunday lunch. Screaming, yelling, cursing, but all love.

This fan base and community is too small for Ram on Ram crime. I just said something to that effect, and then went and did the same thing bc your post for whatever reason irked me. And I don't have a Bentley or a castle, so when we get a beer at Barclays before the A10 championship you are buying. :)

bigappleram

And Mods please feel free to eliminate all of this back and forth and clean up the thread to get back on topic, I got lured into the gutter.

bigappleram

Negative on that. But I'm sure calling him a douche would have him running for his checkbook.

Spare me the dramatics dude. It was you who made this personal with this beauty "Stop shortchanging this team because you don’t like reading the emotions of people who really care." You opened that door and I just walked through it. Somehow inferring that you really care, and someone who d...

bigappleram

Right now Fatts is #1 the country in steals per game, Cyril is 10th in the country in rebounds per game and Jeff is 18th in the country in Assist/TO ratio.

bigappleram

Lol. Self destructing threads. I just stay out of game threads until it’s over. And let’s just get back to Lasalle bc this is going nowhere. Plus I’ve now learned only Blueman cares and has ambition, best thing I’ve read here ever.

bigappleram

If you back up those expectations and words with action in terms of supporting the program/school then you have a right to feel that way. If you don’t, then you don’t. And this is not about having lower expectations, it’s about not treating every game we play as a must win followed by emotional rant...

What's funny is that in my 35 years of being a fan of Rhody hoops we have received maybe 5 total "at large" bids...yet now on this board every season is a disaster and not worth watching unless that is the end result, and every game is a must win as a result. I guess Dan did raise the roo...

Please show your work.

That 500K number was public knowledge, came from the school in dispelling the myth that the football program loses tons of money. The reality is, it doesn't.

bigappleram

Long played a lot in the 2nd half because... 1.) Tyrese got in foul trouble and Mekhi was doing a good job on Daly and Cox needed Martin's offense on the court so someone else had to take over Daly responsibility 2.) Toppin struggled covering Daly, fouling him a couple times and getting beat off th...

Richmond just lost their very good 2G Blake Francis for 4-6 weeks with a fractured sternum. Mason yesterday also lost their star Justin Kier for the year. Very tough injuries for them and the league. In terms of UR it will be very difficult for them to keep stacking wins without Francis, he was a ma...

How amazing was Russell? 17 minutes, (1-8) FG, (0-2) for 3P, 2 points in the 1st half 20 minutes, (9-13) FG, (3-3 for 3P, 2 assists, 2 steals, 23 points in the 2nd half Langevine was a beast - gee how many times can we say that over his 4 year career? 13 minutes, (3-6) FG, 8 rebounds with 7 offensi...

Bama's NET is 44 and they are starting to play much better under Oats. It's not inconceivable that they climb into Top 35 and make our W against them a double digit Quad 1 win. Stranger things have happened.

bigappleram

The Keaney Blue and Rhody hoops fan community is too small for cannibalism or running folks off, regardless of their motivation or reason for being a fan. My suggestion again, stay out of game threads if you don't want to be taken aback by the emotional rants that litter them when we aren't playing ...

bigappleram

Down 47-37 with 17 minutes to go, from there it was 34-14 run by us to win by 10. All of that was propelled by turning up the D and Fatts.

bigappleram

Their entire offense is ball screens for Daly and let him do his thing. They have no one else. So yes Cyril did end up on him quite a few times.

bigappleram

Cyril was playing Daly at times due to switches on ball screens. That is the luxury with Cyril he can switch a ball screen and has the foot speed to stay with guards and wing players. He is an elite defender. But for the most part Tyrese, Mekkhi and Jacob matched up with Daly. Against a team like t...

Mods, open up a Lasalle Game Thread stat so we can get out of this cesspool. This thread reaffirms why I choose to stay out of game threads during the actual game.

bigappleram

FWIW both teams shot brutally from foul line and the field on that same side of the court.

bigappleram

Sorry but this game felt like a loss to me. I realize that Dowtin being out of the lineup was unexpected and required the team to play with only 1 true ball handler, but most of my issues have nothing to do with Dowtin not being on the court, a player who most on this board would agree has under-pe...

That was the regular season version of survive and advance.

Losing Dowtin 90 minutes before the game regardless of how he has performed this year certainly wa...
