article lists likely candidates for the A10 - just out

ramster

Here is a very recent update from USA Today............... a key paragraph is who possible adds are for the A-10. Looks like the CAA could get hit hard. If the A-10 wants to replace schools, it will have options in the Horizon League (Detroit Mercy), the Metro Atlantic (Siena, Fairfield, Manhattan),...

No, tonights win was against 17-3 Saginaw, not Saginaw Arthur Hill.
and this was expected to be a very tight game but Rumulus blew out Saginaw by 30 points.

Here is is.............end of the story says Dayton, Creighton and St Louis will join in 2014. So the BE becomes a big midwest group too. Then the A10 should abandon the Midwest entirely and focus on being a Northeast MidAtlantic Conference - grap up some CAA Schools and the like and should still be...

KevinMcNamara33 Good to see @CoachCooleyPC and the Great Steve McDonald-Don Kaull in the House at Bryant tonight.

ramster

Obadiah,
You do a great job with this weekly report....thanks.
Some games that I think are interesting this week:
Tuesday: #19 Memphis @ Xavier
Saturday: #5 Miami @ #3 Duke. Jimmy Larrannaga has done a phenomenal job at Miami this year.
Saturday: Butler @ VCU

Jim Carr was at Rutgers for 13 years when he decided to join his good friend Dan Hurley at URI.
Would Gil Biruta want to go back to Rutgers? My guess is that he could play immediately.

ramster

I don't want to lose Dan Hurley, but I can see him taking the Rutgers job if offered. Big 10. Gets to go home. IF he gets offered and does NOT take it, who is to say it reopens in 2 years, 3 years...5 years? Somebody could go in there and produce a winner. Bobby could get the Head Coaching Job, then...

Observations from the game: - It was good to see Thom Spann and Ray Williams honored at halftime - brings back some great URI football memories - Sad to not see Jordan Hare on the floor. While some on this board have never cared much for his ability, he is a guy with a lot of potential. Big guys tak...

TJ hits 2-2 on three's last night against Duquesne
He is now 8 for his last 13
Having missed his first 5 of the season TJ's totals are 8 for 18 = 44.4% and leads the Rams in 3 point percentage

ramster

anybody notice this?
TJ started the season off 0-5 on 3 point shots.
He has now hit 6 of his last 11
TJ now leads the team in 3 point percentage at 37.5%
Hope he stays hot as we need him strong against Duquesne and Xavier

ramster

I see this as a win for us tonight. Huge game as if we get this win following the Dayton win then we go into the Xavier game with momentum. Students and the Season Ticket alums who have been on the Coach this season to date will turn out for Xavier with a 2 game win streak and the shot at Brooklyn i...

Thoughts after tonight's upset of Dayton?

Good to hear Hurley say he wanted to foul in those circumstances. I was screaming to foul from my seat as we're some others.....especially on that last one.
Dayton down
Duquesne next
Team looked good tonight - they have the potential to get to Barclays

If Hurley's ability to "build a championship program" is hindered by the upcoming changes to the conference, then he's not long for here, once he has some success. Like Rosie said, it affects EVERYTHING. It can't be understated. Not just Hurley's tenure here either. It's for the long term...

ramster

Other than when Curry was there, Davidson hasn't been significant since Fred hetzel was an AA back in the mid 60's. Why would the A-10 jump on tiny Davidson? There are no shortages of options for adding teams to the A-10. The A-10 has always been a higher profile conference than CAA, so cut the cra...

ramster

It will not be long before you will be able to watch virtually every college game on TV via the computer. Look how things have changed just in the past 2 years.

ramster

you can't keep losing every good team the conference has ever had and just have the expectation of replacing them with equivalents... don't you see what just happened to the big east? are you that out of your mind? come on peeps, nobody expects to replace Xavier, Temple, Dayton, St Louis and Butler...

ramster

Honestly though, I rather have some PC perspectives at this point, than completely bias delusional ones that we keep throwing out there. – or it is at least a draw. We go off the realistic cliff all the time and never allow criticism. People that think the A-10 is going to be better off then we are...

ramster

Pat Skerry left. How many good players came after his leaving? Yeah, Baron was wonderful. Most losses in URI basketball history. Never lost less than double figures. Never beat a top 25 team in 11 year. Four 20 loss seasons. No NCAAs. No NBA players. He inherited a program two years removed from th...

ramster

Really? Did you know how close this program was this spring to the UConn GPA penalty? Do you know about the people with criminal charges that he recruited in his last years here? Murder, rape, assault. Yeah, real choirboys. Don't come on our board and try to tell us about how great Baron was. Rod, ...

ramster

My only question would be: There seems to be talk of the A-10 being this "desirable destination." So if they lose Xavier, Butler, St. Louis, Team Y, in addition to Temple who is out and UMASS who is likely gone, is the conference really that desirable anymore? Couldn't the CAA easily just...

ramster

ramster, just as a point of order, Davidson is the South, not the Mid-Atlantic. George Mason, VCU, and Richmond could be called the South too, but I've never seen anything that doesn't include North Carolina in the South of the United States. Official word from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

ramster

So what? He inherited a loaded roster, with five transfers, including two 6'10" mobile centers and Sosa, his best shooter. What are you thinking? That any of us are lamenting Baron leaving, or are you just here busting balls? What do you think, Rod? This guy is a PC fan from the PC Message boa...

ramster

Yup, it's fantasy, a real long shot, but this team does stay in almost all games - not like they get blown out every game. For sure a long shot - no doubt. But let's look at Dayton at 3-6. They have only won 3 A10 games and all were at home against lowly Fordham, Duquesne and st joes. Should uri bea...

Must beat Dayton and Duquesne this week to get to 3-8. This puts us ahead of Duquesne,Dayton and Fordham. Then need Bonnie's, st joes or Richmond t o stumble more as they are all 4-5. We play at st joe so we can help them falter behind us. Among remaining games: Dayton Duquesne St joes Lasalle Umass...

Can we beat Dayton and then Duquesne this week and get back in the race for top 12 to Atlantic city?

It isn't just the last two minutes of a game. That doesn't work ANY time for us. Exactly, BUT, the HC needs to pull the kid aside and remind him not to do it because he often does in crunch time.

I think Ramster meant at the end of the year. We were ranked a couple of times under Baron, before his annual collapses. Doesn't matter. Only matters if you finish ranked. PC in 2003 didn't end their season as a ranked team. That is right.....bill reynold's had it in today's paper. He was referring...

ramster

It's called court awareness. We don't have a PG, and haven't had one in ages, that can see the floor and pass to the open man for 3 instead of putting their head down and driving into the lane. Hurley knows that. He's probably tried umpteen times to change it, but it is what it is. Good PG's are bo...

Sean, if my decision, and URI was given an invite to thus new conference, I would take it. it helps recruiting and gets more exposure for the school. As I said, Dayton would be odd man out with all the other Midwest schools leaving so no surprise to e if Dayton leaves the A10 too. But I don't think ...

Hurley knows what he's dealing with. His best quote a few weeks ago was "You can't fix want can't be fixed". Translation - "We just don't have the players we need to win." Talk about passing the buck. You had another late second half lead. Land the freaking plane Saint Daniel. A...
