if we lose it is because bryce cotton can't score. it all comes down to your backcourt defense.

3pt FG Defense:

PC - 245th with opponents shooting 36%

URI - 58th with opponents shooting 29.5%

i'd say kentucky shooting over 60% had a lot to do with that.

peeps4life

i know losing brad stevens hurts, but why are all a10 fans crapping on butler? they did pretty good replacing their last coach in house with stevens. why would that not work again?

peeps4life

it is governor deval patrick's sign language lady from blizzard closings last winter.

peeps4life

ob... the pbruins aren't black and gold? the two biggest tenants have black in their colors and the color plays better in the arena. i can't believe i'm going to ask the question... but you really think that the $90M reno was for none other than PC? no one else benefits? you are pretty much being a ...

peeps4life

the pbruins "did not want it".... ummmmmmm.

i'm more angry that my state gave more money to curt schilling than to the dunk. we actually get something out of the dunk.

peeps4life

The Dunk was a City of Providence owned building. The State of RI would either have to be crazy or partial, to say the least, on having PC have a nice basketball arena. When PC grads run the House Finance Committee I vote for Partial and not crazy. The State should not be in the business of enterta...

peeps4life

it's funny... because it's also been widely reported that pc is working on an extension with cooley... but everyone here still thinks PC is a stepping stone for him. weird how that works when the shoe is on the other foot. and FWIW... neither coach actually HAS an extension signed.

peeps4life

maybe rod telling me to die had something to do with it. richard coren let's posters exist well past their due date.

peeps4life

scotty is successfully trolling again without even trying. nicely done!

peeps4life

if you'd like to have a beer with me and talk about conference realignment... i'm all for it. i have this conversation with uri friends of mine on the regular.

peeps4life

except i do... because i elicit your response. you're welcome for the perspective.

peeps4life

uri talking about a10 bottom feeders getting out is about as hilarious as it gets.

peeps4life

Only RIers would believe that EG is better than any place in NJ to live. I wonder how BH likes Providence versus NYC as a place to hang out? I grew up in southern NE and like it better, but I would like NJ better if that is where I grew up; but I still don't believe that EG is a better place to liv...

peeps4life

We've always survived, but now we're running out of teams to add . We've lost good programs before.I may be wrong, but I don't think they all left at the same time. I don't like this at all. I wish we could hear something positive out of the A10 offices. this is the part rod keeps forgetting... as ...

hogan was one of the most boring wrestlers in the world to watch. the same moves over and over again. give me brett hart and shawn michaels any day.

peeps4life

i stopped watching toward the tail end of the monday night wars... an age thing i guess.

peeps4life

i should get into marketing. i made like 5 posts that lead to 169 responses and i'm sure plenty of hits for golocalprov. scott should thank me. but seriously rod... you have a problem with anger. it's just college basketball. it's entertainment meant to be fun. i haven't put anyone "in their pl...

peeps4life

you say scott should get quotes from hurley yet you keep putting words right in hurley's mouth about what his plans are and reasons why he left previous jobs. i said rutgers has previously hired bums. you said they were more successful than hurley. that is what YOU said. and i never told you to die ...

peeps4life

i only resorted to name calling after being told to die. otherwise on the topic at hand.

i'm not a bully. i brought an article to your attention that i saw in my facebook feed as it is relevant to uri.

peeps4life

so you're saying hurley is a bum?

peeps4life

I've got this guy Scott figured out. He went and threw this crap against the wall, hoping against hope that it might stick, the 1% chance Dan might leave to go to NJ. That's what he does. And I'm sure he gets a ton of support from Rooke, who would LOVE to see Hurley leave. If not, his beloved Friar...

peeps4life

You titled this thread 'oh no!', dripping in sarcasm....but you were just sharing information. Right. And now you're trying to spin this so that URI fans on this board will call Hurley unqualified in some manner. But you're harmless. Give me a break. Mods, go ahead and ban this jerk. cry me a river.

peeps4life

because they hire bums. is hurley a bum?

peeps4life

i haven't name called (until being told to die), told anyone to die or go to hell. what are the rules for being "banned"? you can't post articles?

i figured the reaction would be regarding scott and the article... not the messenger.

peeps4life

and the best answer to scott if you disagree is to not engage him. he loves the hate.

peeps4life

all i did was post a link. rod is the one being inflammatory. i started crap? give me a break. i didn't see the article posted... so i posted it.

peeps4life

i agree with the premise.

peeps4life

i'm just passing along information. your inflammatory posts are absurd.

peeps4life

why don't i "go and die"... wow. f-ing psycho.

peeps4life

As for rubbing into PC fans, who even post on your board, except one guy who labels himself a URI fan, but thinks he's too good for this board? It was a generalization (not just on our board) of the sentiment sent off from URI fans ecstatic over the prospect that PC could end up screwed an in the g...

peeps4life

i do the same thing to delusional pc fans of which plenty exist.

peeps4life

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?

peeps4life

as opposed to the URI juggernaut program with decades of hurleys leading the charge.

peeps4life

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...

peeps4life

so in your mind... having a precarious future as head coach doesn't affect recruiting? the landscape of the a10 and uri basketball didn't change all that much. i doubt he went blind and couldn't evaluate talent. i blame tim welsh for not having the gonads to compete in the new big east expansion lan...

peeps4life

soooo... all the other pretty good players he brought in over the years never happened i guess?

peeps4life

pc had the SI article class... i know what you're talking about. but be serious for a minute... your AD has a lot of the blame here too.

peeps4life

BFC, I agree with the view you expressed except the PC part. I have no respect for that school because over the years I have been privy to lots of close information that provides an interesting picture of how they operate. I am talking about things more than just athletics. The bulk of this viewpoi...

peeps4life

i think you can blame the bare cupboard on the AD... same when welsh left. how was baron supposed to recruit with the common knowledge he was on the hot seat? it's not like he didn't have a pretty good string of years and just couldn't get over the edge. your AD needed to let him go earlier.

peeps4life

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...

peeps4life

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...

come on rod... that's just sour grapes. the man ran a stand up process i mean program for a decade.

for informational purposes only. lucky for me, welsh never coached again.

i bring reality to the table. pc and uri both suck... and pc will still be in better shape after this shakes out. i'm a pc fan, but i'm realistic unlike most of you here. you are running out of decent teams throughout the country to replace all your best teams. it is a really shitty situation.

peeps4life

The A10 is going to be weaker once the dust settles. Fact. How much weaker will depend on whether the A10 loses 2 teams or 4 teams. Replacing 4 teams will not be easy. In fact I think the A10 should settle on being a 12 team conference, not 16. With Temple, Charlotte, and UMass leaving, the league ...
