Now that the season is over more attention will now be directed to this issue. First it was Seton Hall, then it was Rutgers, then St. John's and now back to Rutgers. As long as NY-NJ area marquee D1 teams underperform, Hurley leaving URI will always be in play and I'm not discounting the attractiven...

Obadiah

Assessing Hurley and his four seasons at URI is always impacted by the emotion of "expectations" and from the very announcement of his hiring, Ram fan expectations have risen and these expectations largely did not correspond to performance. You can see this condition in looking at the summ...

Davidson wins in OT, 90-86. Tough loss for the Bonnies who led throughout most of the game by as much as 11 points in the second half.

Obadiah

With 11 seconds left, Davidson's Aldridge was fouled on a three point attempt and then put in three FT's to tie the game against the Bonnies and send it into OT knotted at 75.

Obadiah

URI is the only favorite to lose in yesterday's games and so far today.

Obadiah

VCU is rolling over UMass and is up by 26 halfway through the second half. UMass is 1-9 on threes, but VCU is 0 for 11. VCU is killing them on rebounding.

Obadiah

We haven't gone to the NCAA since '99, and HC until now hadn't gone since 2007, but the question is would you trade places with HC? Answering that question brings to the forefront a clearer definition of success at the URI/A-10 level as opposed to the Patriot level.

Obadiah

It is only right to consider only conference stats in passing out these awards since the quality of the OOC schedule varies widely from school to school. Fordham, for example had a pathetic SOS for it's OCC, a ranking somewhere in the 300's and it was embarrassing for any A-10 school to make such an...

Obadiah

In the first PIG game of the first round, Saint Louis beats George Mason 83-78. The Billikens will now face GW in the 2:30 PM game Thursday.

Obadiah

Here is rather startling prediction for the A-10 winner.

Obadiah

Thanks, ATP. It is always a pleasure to do this.

Obadiah

Sorry, brady, I was not articulate enough on my use of the word pattern. The prime focus on pattern was in reference to the defensive play of our opponents. They do study the game tapes and they saw how effective Dayton used the full court pressure to rattle the Rams to cause a succession of TO's ou...

Obadiah

A bad pattern has developed in each of the last three games, all with big URI leads when the opponent then intensifies full court pressure. In the Dayton game the lead went from 19 to 7 with 4 URI turnovers in a matter 2+ minutes, in the UMass game the lead went from 22 to ten with 3 URI turnovers i...

Obadiah

In a game just concluded, Yale beat Columbia, 71-55, giving Yale the Ivy League title and their first invite to the Big Dance since 1962! And we thought URI has waited a long time! Yale is actually the second team in the Dance so far, as Austin Peay beat UT-Martin earlier today to garner the Ohio Va...

Obadiah

URI finishes the regular season at 17-14 and the winner of the 8th Annual Prediction Contest is .........ramfan85!!

Congratulations!

Obadiah

This was a bad game for Terrell and it wan't because of the Fordham defense. He reverted to his freshman play when he repeatedly failed to finish. I feel bad for the young guy because he had been playing so well in recent games.

Obadiah

Final day of the regular season with all fourteen A-10 teams in action and by end of the last game, the seedings and pairing for the A-10 tournament will have been determined with the official announcement coming on Sunday. * Rhode Island at Fordham . 2 PM. On Cox. We will know if URI is the sixth o...

Obadiah

Both these teams shoot the 3 at a furious pace. How well we slow them down on this may be the critical factor.

Obadiah

Four games highlight Wednesday evening A-10 Action: * Saint Louis at La Salle . 7 PM. La Salle is in the play-in game, but SLU still has a theoretical chance to escape that fate except this road game and the home date against the Bonnies may be a bridge too far for the Billikens.. * Davidson at VCU ...

Obadiah

Dayton pulls it out, 85-84! Scoochie had 26 points. T.J. Cline had a monster game putting in 36 points.

Obadiah

Thanks for the heads up, twisted. Let's hope both things happen before the UMass game.

Obadiah

Two A-10 games on the schedule Tuesday night: * Dayton at Richmond . 7:30 PM. On CBS Sports. Richmond can only overtake URI in the tourney seeding if it wins its two final games, so for that and other reasons, we should root for Dayton to win this one. * George Mason at GW . 8 PM. If GW wants positi...

Today begins Week #17 , the last week of the regular college basketball season. The A-10 conference standings are still in a state of flux, but barring shocking ending, it looks like the tournament's double bye winners are VCU , St. Joseph's , Dayton and St. Bonaventure . The teams certain to finish...

Obadiah

You could say that on Thursday night we will have finally made the Final Four.

Obadiah

Yesterday's A-10 results added further credibility that the teams receiving the double bye berths in the tourney are VCU , St. Joseph's , St. Bona , and Dayton . Duquesne continues to fall apart so that even having the home court advantage did not avert the thrashing they got by Richmond . Their sev...

Obadiah

It's only natural for Ram fans to savor this win, since we have been starved for such a great game for many moons. After watching the gamelive, I could not help but watching the replay on ESPN again and again. I know sort of a homer.

Obadiah

It comes down to two: URI_IEP and ramfan85. If URI sweeps its last two, it's URI_IEP, just one loss gives it to ramfan85.

How sweet it is!!! What heart this team showed before a full house, hostile environment!!

Obadiah

While our hopes are dimmed, we cannot give up on this team. It is our team. I remember the atmosphere at the Brown game when both Iverson and Martin could not play, the Ram fans present really got behind the team even when they fell behind by double digits. That is the kind of spirit we need to show...

Saturday A-10 action highlighted by six contests: * URI at Dayton . 12 noon On ESPN2. Originally scheduled as the key game for ESPN Game Day, game time was switched to the noontime slot when the Rams' many adversities dimmed pre-season expectations. Too many obstacles for the short handed Rams to ov...

GCU is a private, for profit, Christian school in Phoenix, AZ.

Obadiah

Aah, the Friars got spanked 70-52 and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of arrogant fans. Payback is a bitch.

Obadiah

Thanks, luke, I got the pm. I assume your State of residence is NJ.

Obadiah

Definitely a surprising night in the A-10 . * GW gets an important road win to stay in contention for a double bye in Brooklyn, by beating Richmond , 73-61. GW won this one on the foul line as they hit 24 of 31 attempts while the Spiders managed only 9 of 14. * Saint Joseph's who lost its first A-10...

Five games highlight Wednesday night's A-10 schedule: * GW at Richmond . 7 PM. On ASN. Tonight's game is a sell out and is the annual Red Out game with free red T-shirts on every seat in the Robins Center. The Spiders won in double overtime in their first match-up. GW's edge is the experience of the...

Obadiah

Only three left standing in the contest: URI_IEP, bressler3south, and ramfan85. Only a URI sweep of its final three games can prevent ramfan85 from winning this contest!!

What does this all say about the strength and conditioning program??

Obadiah

Two games comprise Tuesday's A-10 schedule. In the first game URI is at Davidson to take on the high scoring Wildcats. Tip off is 6 PM. On CBS Sports. In second game, Dayton travels to Saint Louis with a good chance to end their two-game losing streak. The game is at 8 PM, also on CBS Sports.

Obadiah

The start of Week #15 sees a reshuffled A-10 top layer with VCU now standing alone in first place. VCU has three difficult games left on its schedule and who owns first place may come down to their season ending game at Dayton . Saint Joseph's remaining schedule shows only a major test at St. Bonave...

I'll break the ice and say congratulations to luke.

How was McGlynn's game against Duquesne?

Obadiah

Two games on the A-10 Sunday Schedule.

* La Salle at GW. On NBC Sports. This game is already underway and at the half, GW is routing the Explorers, 52-23!

CORRECTION In a previous post I stated: "Only five contestants remain in the game and on the next Rhody loss, four will be eliminated and ramfan85 will be declared the winner. This is likely to happen before the season is complete - a first for this contest. Incredible!" I came to that co...

Obadiah

We do not need to wait for the UMass game to declare a winner, since even if that game is a sellout, the average attendance for 17 games would be 4,867 . That figure is below all 95 predictions so the prediction closest to that number is 5,048 . The winner of the attendance contest is luke!
