Finally some good news this week! If they play like this we will make the A10 tourney.

RIFan

God Bless them.

RIFan

I just hope they take Creighton, Gonzaga & St. Mary’s and stay at 10 teams. Wont happen...they will also want to destroy their closest competitor...us.

RIFan

The (historical) bottom 2-4 teams in the A-10 has always been a problem from a basketball strength perspective...I assume they have been kept on (Fordham) soley for TV markets and TV deals. This may now be the reason we are not able to merge and or keep our best teams. The C7 do not have that dead w...

RIFan

I guess this is the Big Finish...(rim shot please)

RIFan

what did Thorr say on the radio?

RIFan

We are in deep trouble. PC coming out on the right side of this disaster adds insult to injury.

RIFan

I would love a merger as it would solidify our situation for the foreseeable future. On a side note, How interesting would it be to see how URI and PC fare in the same league. I'm not sure their fans would know how to act without BE membership, and all of a sudden being on a level playing field with...

RIFan

Since Temple has a full vote and the & BB schools can't vote to dissolve the league, they will either need to be kicked out or leave on their own. So, what is the exit fee for non-football schools, or is the exit fee the same for both? It seems to me that any of those schools would pay a $10m ex...

RIFan

He might become a 1000 point scorer in his 2 years!

RIFan

I believe Henton had originally signed with Dayton...I assume that's what he is referring to

RIFan

I was not a college basketball fan before I arrived at URI and had little interest in the team until one day I was reading a USA Today and came across the Sagarin Ratings, which had us in the 40's ahead of many big name teams that I did know of. That's when it dawned on me that we played at a high l...

RIFan

Thanks for the tips. She is leaning on sciences, maybe nursing.

RIFan

This is kind of off topic, but I will be taking my niece and her parents to the game tomorrow, and they would like to look at the campus before the game since she is considering attending URI next year. It has been almost 20 years since I went anywhere but the athletic complex; any advice as to what...

RIFan

We are in great shape for the future. I just wish they would hit their free throws, so we can win some of these close ones. Lets face it, they are all going to be close this year; I don't see us blowing many teams out.

RIFan

Should have won by close to 10. They have lost at least 2 games due to beyond bad foul shooting. Bad would be an improvement.

RIFan

why cant they hit free throws!

RIFan

Fantastic! X was awesome and I hope he saved some for Wednesday.

RIFan

On the post game show Bobby stated that it's not unusual for the offense to take a while to show up, and that this week they simplified it, so they could become really good running those selected sets.

RIFan

Very encouraging; I am proud of them. If they can play like this consistently we will be all right the rest of the way.

RIFan

I was mildly shocked at the turnout for the NSU game-I estimate no more than 3,500 in the seats. But the stands at V-Tech looked pretty empty, and both PCs games announced attendance were poor too. The Bryant game witch featured two teams that are only a 20 minute drive from each other had an announ...

RIFan

I guess I had expected X, Nick and Malone to shoot at least 25-30% from 3. I thought Malone would be better this season, since many transfers have rust their first season.

RIFan

How can you have so many guards and swing players that can't hit a 3! If they hit 25% of their 3's it's a different game. Plus we do not get any second chance looks/points. We do not get any fast break or transition buckets and we do not get in he passing lanes.

RIFan

They are just plain bad. What else is there to say.

RIFan

Was it me, or did the guards seem to put up a ton of floaters in crowds, of which none went in...I'm not sure if they are not fast enough to get by defenders or what; but we had no layups all game. I'm not sure I remember a single turnover that lead to an easy transition basket. I actually found mys...

RIFan

Just got back to central MA...yes they worked hard, but the shots did not fall. They will live and die by the jump shot. Not enough talent or bodies...will wear out late in games. But I did like the movement on offense and can see this will be awesome to watch when we have the talent and bodies.

RIFan

I remember how smothering the UMass defense was under Calipari; it was difficult to even get off a shot. They used to substitute a whole 5 player unit and keep up the intensity. If we can even come close to that, it would keep us in a lot of games. I did not get to see the game, but it sounded like ...

RIFan

Just said Bigby is here for 1 year.

RIFan

If I understand the investigation correctly, it is surrounding the recruitment of the Australian players that gave them the sudden success they started having a few years back.

RIFan

I didn't read the preview; but aren’t they under investigation for recruiting violations? Often when a team comes out nowhere they seem to find some violations.

RIFan

Thanks, I had never read that before. That must have been something to see.

RIFan

I saw this on the PC Board: Class of 2013 Commits Big East (17) Memphis 3, Notre Dame 3, Louisville 2, Marquette 2, USF 2, Connecticut 1, DePaul 1, Georgetown 1, Seton Hall 1, Villanova 1 SEC (16) Kentucky 3, Alabama 2, Arkansas 2, Florida 2, LSU 2, Missouri 1, South Carolina 1, Tennessee 1, Texas A...

RIFan

At this point we will 4 point guards on next years team-I agree that I don't think that's the way it ends up.

RIFan

Beating teams the students have heard of is the only way to get their attention. Unless they are diehard college basketball fans they have probably not heard of the Hurleys...they were playing when these kids were just born!

RIFan

how about WeAreRhody.com

RIFan

Very proud to have them as part of the Rhody family.

BTW, got to love the fact PC fans are comparing their recruits to ours...

RIFan

Agreed. They claim part of the problem this season is that they recruited and gave out scholarships like they were moving down, but they stayed-and are now getting killed. If you think we have been bad in the A-10 and now CAA, we would have been a complete disgrace (like this season) in the NEC. Whe...

RIFan

Thanks ATP...This is fantastic.
