Never mind post season appearances I wanna know when our next court storm will occur.

Asked this before in other threads. We crush the students for inconsistent attendance but what’s with all the empties foul line to foul line in the lower bowl!

Agree Weston looks real good. Needs more minutes IMO.

hrstrat57

Tons of empties lower bowl foul line to foul line. Have our most loyal and affluent fans packed it in on this crew? Aren’t most of those seats season ticket holders?

hrstrat57

No I am not a “clown” but can only wonder why so many on this board ridiculed responses. The opinion expressed is but one person’s. You don’t have to like it. And it’s okay if you don’t. But name calling and acting as if only a few people are allowed to offer a viable opinion. I think not. It’s pro...

Good first half.

Mooney turned King loose 2nd half. Baseline attacks off picks and multiple made 25’ shots. Classic way to defeat Pack Line.

Richmond is almost entirely upperclassmen they’ll be looking to make a push.

Yeah and Jordan King is quick, wicked quick.

Phenomenal feature of the forums.

Spookydog is the top dawg!!

Talkin talkin Bassy talk…

Bassy doesn’t suck that’s an overstatement, but he’s not a player Miller wanted coming off the bench. Would we have been a better team with a better record with him vs Kortright or Wright?

I don’t think so.

Solid word crafting there. Ivy League stuff, way beyond state U. Usage of the word inscrutable is unfathomable to me.

hrstrat57

BB78 I honestly haven’t exactly figured out what Miller is running primarily on offense. Defense yeah Pack Line I get. It’s not high post (UCLA) offense Cox failed to implement where two guards attack with no primary PG ( thus Dowtin “off the ball”) it’s not a form of motion and it’s definitely not ...

I've reached the acceptance stage of grieving. I've made peace with the fact that we are probably never going back to the NCAAT in my lifetime. Once you do that, everything is fine. No worries, no anxieties, no need to argue with anyone. Totally agree. Just go to the games, follow the team goings o...

Smooth well coached team. No elite talent but strong 8 deep at least. Not likely to get blown out by anybody.

Legit dangerous team in Brooklyn.

Tee shirt fail.

Team seems to stall with Estevez handling the ball. Weird.

hrstrat57

Yep, the officiating in this game was rugby like. Not to our advantage. Does the A10 have the bottom tier of refs? Why? Regarding officials. I do not think there are exclusive A-10 officials nor BE officials. As examples. I think officials are assigned regionally across many conferences, both high ...

hrstrat57

No problem hiding a short guy in the packline as long as he’s fast (laterally fast too) short quick guy can actually be a key component. I don’t think you can easily hide 2 little guys. Pretty sure Miller knows what to do with Hammond when he arrives. Looking forward to getting everyone healthy with...

Is there any chance that we will expand the swath considering its success? Or is expanding off the table? IMG_2235.jpeg There will be no deviation from the by the book packline. We forced 22/23 foot deep balls and minimized Cohen and Cross. Exactly what the defense is supposed to do. They miss 2 of...

I missed getting to Amherst this year unfortunately as it was an exciting game down to the wire For anyone who went, did you think Fuchs was fouled on the 4 foot shot he took with 1:23 minutes left in the 2nd half? It looked to me like he got hit on his body while trying to get the shot off. He is ...

hrstrat57

Got 2 real slow guys Fuchs and Kortright. Defense is much better with Brown but he can't score. I think it's hard to hide 2 slow players in the packline. Overall tho got what was needed to win, neutralized the 2 bigs with the packline and forced 22/23' shots exactly what you want. They made double d...

Lazy transition defense gives up the lead

Good timeout

hrstrat57

Yeah one of the main points of packline defense is to dare them to shoot the deep ball.

We’d be up 10+if we weren’t blowing lightly contested layups there’s nothing wrong with our game plan.

hrstrat57

Hottest ticket around in years. Keaney was packed loaded for bear. Electric.

Macon and the Owls 9-0 start. Dead even rest of contest. Game was lost in first 2m.

Two truly great teams either one could have won National Championship.

hrstrat57

Nobody has any further comments on the packline and/or Rhody MBB execution of it so far?

Kinda disappointed…

Go Rhody!

History discussed here. (Warning this is a deep dive into packline, I’ll post this in the dedicated thread too)

hrstrat57

Well, that helps the basic understanding of the goals and principles of the defense. Are we actually plying it? I also like how packline does have its weaknesses. It does seem to me that takes heady players to execute effectively and real time read and react to the offensive flow. Seems it all star...

If you’re interested in understanding Archie Miller and current URI hoops here’s a good piece on the packline defense. Since Rhode Island MBB will succeed or fail based on how well this defense is played I deemed it worthy of a dedicated thread. I’ll be interested in the comments of KB forum members...

hrstrat57

The packline guards everyone what are we talking about? Have we got intel that Miller is preparing a new defense to cover Cross?

Good online discussion of PackLine defense.

hrstrat57

Rim protection is paramount for the packline as is the elite ball pressure applied last night by House. Brown is our best inside defender IMHO. Last night was the best performance by the packline especially after the first 5 minutes of the game. Looking forward to seeing how the group performs in Am...

I’m really liking the effort from House on offense and moving laterally in the packline.
