I haven't watched nearly as much sports over my life as most everyone here, but the worst officiated game I've ever watched in person was certainly last year's home game vs. VCU. Absolutely terrible. I honestly thought that the game was blatantly rigged. EVERY SINGLE close call went against URI, and...

Joe

It was fun to compare the free throw shooting of our Four compared to Richmond's Four. One of Richmond's Four's foul shots bricked off the side of the rim which was possibly one of the worst I have ever seen in person. It was possibly even worse than alumni guy shooting at the half during that cont...

GO HOUSTON! Get under 100 RPI!

Blue Man wrote:We're a worse team than last year.

I disagree. Our defense seems about the same, maybe a little worse than last year, but our offense has improved so much. Maybe its just me, but I'll take this team over last year's any day.

Sophomore slump is GONE. Kind of like the ball that CT swatted at the end of the game.

Joe

Hass looked rusty, but we definitely needed him in there. Certainly won't take him very long to get back into the swing of things.

Joe

Maybe more people will join NYG & I on the optimistic side...

Have to finish at least Top 3 of the 14 Team A10.

Agreed. And do damage in the tournament. Hot teams on a winning streak are looked at as significantly better.

Joe

Keep in mind that the selection sunday committee members are humans, not pure stat robots. If URI lands on the bubble, the committee will see a team that lost their #1 player in their first game, and then had an average out of conference play with numerous tough, close losses. If URI gets a solid re...

Joe

Go TCU! If they (somehow) manage to get their RPI down to under 100, (right now its 196) then our victory over them will add to our currently non-existent résumé.

Joe

Just updated today http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Lunardi is predicting only two A10 bids - Dayton as a 5 and GW as a 7. It is interesting to note that St Joes & Richmond are both in the first four out and the next four out, respectively. We have back to back games vs bo...

Joe

Watched it live. Refs were making one sided calls, same kind that our Hurley gets pissed about too. It was great!

Joe

Did they give a reason? Game would get a ton of media coverage and publicity

What are the chances of scheduling a game next year with Bobby Hurley's Arizona State? Would looooove to watch the Hurley brothers coach against each other...

save your brains...Hass will play as soon as he and the coaches think he's ready....

duh

Just wondering if we'll be seeing him play this Tuesday

Joe

I think that injured players should keep their original draft rank. Le'Veon Bell was my #1 draft pick, but after he got injured I dropped him to waivers. I recently picked him back up again in case I decide to have him next year too, and as much as I'd like to give him the value of a 10th round pick...

Sit Hass till he's back to 100%, that's a no brainer. Anybody know his status for Richmond?

Joe

Its pretty awesome watching CT develop. Not too long ago he was scared to touch the ball, let alone drive to the basket or take a 3. Its pretty obvious that hes going to be a really good player in the future.

Both great percentages.

Nice job Hurley. Must have reminded the guys in the huddle to make their free throws.

Joe

6 threes and counting. Awesome

Joe

Am I the only optimistic one left?

Joe

Joe, nice thought but we have to have our bigs healthy to have any chance. Berry was a nice surprise against Brown, but how many minutes can he realistically give us? 10? Will Four go for 33 against any A10 teams? Not likely. Everybody has to step up. Terrell simply has to play better, he's a diffe...

Joe

I honestly believe that we can do damage in A10 play. Just take it one day at a time, one game at a time, plan for each individual opponent... avoid bad losses...

I mean, you are the only one predicting they just won't play three of the games, yes.

Slight miscalcuation, making sure everyone's paying attention

Joe

15-3. You saw it here first.

Joe

Four played 45 minutes tonight and still shot as good as he did. Say what you will about Brown's D, but that's pretty impressive

Joe

They went 25-29 that game, good for 86.2%. They're shooting 70% for the season. Seems like teams always shoot great from the foul line against us...

I'd love to think that

Joe

33 points from Four, surprised that more people aren't talking about that. Crazy game from him, I love watching him abuse terrible defenses like Brown. If he figures out how to shoot like that in conference play vs. teams like GW and Dayton, this conference season won't be in the drain like everyone...

Joe

Although this was my only fantasy league that I didn't win, climbing the consolation bracket to the top despite auto-drafting my team isn't terrible! I got my keeper squared away for next season too...

Joe

.500 record in conference play? No way it would be that low

Joe

Nit pick what you want but these guys are playing hard and giving it their all even without the top 2 players on the team

Joe

Saved by the foul shooting - not

"Did you just compare a basketball coach who was sad that one of his players (who he was very close to) sustained a season-ending injury to a war? I mean I saw people arguing on here over whether or not a comparison between URI and a Pats team is viable - comparing a coach to a LT in a battle ...

When the 101st Airborne's 506th Easy Company's commander Lt. Tom Meehan got killed during the D-Day invasion, Lt.

Next game isn't till Saturday. Time for a lot of overanalyzing. Coming off losses in tow of the last three games, Iona at home on the Saturday before Christmas with many students already gone for break. I would not expect a big crowd. What is an attendance guess for that game? 3,400? If you conside...

Joe

Houston goes to a zone defense and URI looks completely lost on the floor, I dont know why teams dont use zone defense on us more. So going to a zone defense Houston keeps players out of foul trouble and gets back into the game. I guess its ok to play a zone defense once in a while. If you play zon...

This doesn't feel like a 6 point game, hopefully won't be for long

I don't know many PC fans from RI who see URI as another game on the schedule. Some of my fondest moments as a kid were being at the PCC age 7-8, in the crowd as a visitor in the 200s, cheering against URI in the late 90s. But I still was a young kid, watching the Elite 8 run with great interest. C...
