He's right, up until that last line- 63. Rhode Island Rams Rhody can defend and plays really hard, but the Rams need to be able to score and take care of the ball better in order to beat the tougher teams on their schedule. Right now, URI ranks 308th in ball security, turning it over on 22 percent o...

Erik vs Lars in a fight? I think I'm going with Erik. I think I've caught Larsen in some of his worst games this season. In the first half against La Salle when they were getting blown out, it looked like he absolutely quit on his team. One play, smaller La Salle guy just took the ball away from him...

The phrases "height isn't everything" and "height matters" are not incompatible.

Who do you mean by Erickson? Larsen?

ace

Phil Martelli's post-game comments when his team is not that good give me life. So good.

ace

Larsen for GW is such a frustrating player to watch. He's physically huge yet sometimes seems to disappear from games. Height ain't everything, people.

ace

The E.C. injury doesn't seem to be getting that much attention, which is fine, I guess, since there's not much they can do about it. He'll eventually play, at the highest level he can, but he won't be practicing much. It's a shame. But nobody else feels sorry for a team dealing with a significant in...

Biruta has had two really solid games in a row. Martin has been outstanding in those games. It's not a complete coincidence.

More love for Hassan-

Want to vote for a future Ram for player of the week? CHRISTION THOMPSON - Madison Prep, basketball: Thompson was another reason for Madison Prep's successes, posting 17 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals per game in three wins for the Chargers. http://highschoolsports.nola.com/news/article...

Just re-read this. How great is Hassan? One year of varsity basketball, young for his year, and now really embracing what he can do and competing like a beast. He's definitely part of the reason this team is easy to root for. CD: Finally, how would you assess the chemistry on this team? HM: The chem...

I continue to hate Fordham. I also hate a road game with travel issues and probably no E.C.

I like that they already beat Fordham, even with a pretty pathetic display of basketball prowess.

I forgot that Delaware State has a player named Burley. It's distracting me. Similar problem with Dayton's Bobby Wehrli.

The similar jersey colors of Delaware State and NC Central are also annoying. Ok, I'm done complaining.

ace

I find that my usually firm stance of "no waivers for any player EVER!!" tends to soften when it comes to players on teams I care about.

ace

Settle, R. No one's denying anyone's right to type stuff on the internet.

My preference is not to read statements where it seems so personal, so I don't. I'm not telling anyone what to write or not to write. Almost had to pull out that copy and paste on Blue Man. I'd have to find it first, though.

ace

Chris is just so good at his job. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you're back to your senses, Blue Man. Your post-VCU game comments made me go away for, like, two weeks. Tragic, really.

This guy has them in, with the qualification that no one knows what will happen. Check out their site if you have any interest in NYC area hoops-

I offered to give him my foot if needed. So far, no takers.

Traveling on game day would not be ideal but remember the St. Bonaventure game last year?

Good point. Maybe I'll go outside and yell at the snow to stop falling instead. It's probably a better use of my time.

- I'll take JB's TJ over DH's Gil, Iffy, Biggie or Jarelle. Once they, leave, if the talent coming in continues, we'll win big and the fans will return. The Fab-4 were a blessing and a curse. I agree 100% with this. Of the 5 players mentioned, I have to think TJ has been the most valuable to the pr...

Preston's great. We all love Preston. I also like Garrett (credit to PM on the assist, though), Terrell, Butts, Tho...

Preach on, bressler. Coach K is a legend and deservedly so. Love that guy.

ace

I also did enjoy and am enjoying JB's MP, NM, RB, and AM, not to mention the ones who couldn't even stay. Oh that's right. I'm not. (Except for Andre. I kind of liked him). Apologies if all 8 of the players brought in in March or later for the next season didn't complete you as a fan.

Defense is phenomenal. In conference games, #1 in D-points-per-possession, blocks per game and 3pt FG%, #2 in total FG%, #3 in TOs forced. Our outlier stats on offense are clear and well established - Turnovers, 3pt FG% and FTs. Against good teams we have to do 2 of those 3 above average to win. An...

ace

The defense we play is best described as disruptive and tenacious. The casual fan cant even appreciate how well we handle ball screens, blitz the dribbler, defend the hand-off, rotate on switches and close out on shooters. We do it at an elite level. If our offense even gets to 75% of that we are g...

Mine, too (non-Hurley division, of course). We should all be AI fans here. Dan says after playing against Iverson in the Big East, it became clear to him that his future in basketball was going to be more on the coaching side of things.

Dan will tolerate physical mistakes -- like EC's missed dunk -- but not mental mistakes, like EC dribbling into a double team and then throwing the ball away. he came out after that with Dan pointing to a seat on the bench. Hurley said the team had abandoned the scouting report. No staff spends mor...

Wagner's playing on CBSSports. Last I heard, Aaman hadn't yet been cleared to play. Marcus Burton, #4 a point guard, is their best player. Anderson is coming back from an injury and should get in later.

Youssou Ndoye is huge- looks even bigger in this game against somewhat vertically challenged Dayton.

Real simple. "You can stay here, but you aren't going to ever play much"

Well sure. We refer to that as being "counseled out of the program," but that's different from being essentially kicked out.

ace

Yeah, that's a bit of an exaggeration on my part. They played against each other before. Everyone lived.

rambone 78 wrote:Does anybody think Dan will jettison any of them?

As in it's a unilateral decision? Absolutely not.

The positive is more than just a win. It's 2-0. A win where we surely lost in the past few years. Good teams have bad games and win against bad teams. Then they forget about it. Think of all the good teams that played us close the past few years, those were all bad games for those teams. Agreed, bu...

Would be a heck of a sight to see the brothers coaching against each other.

Maybe in the NIT?

One might quit before that would happen.

It's subtle, but I'm pretty sure he thinks they didn't play well.

Buffalo won their first conference game and is now also 10-3.
