You may be right in terms of how Dan sees it, but the kid should play. He is good.

Look, we ran into a buzzsaw tonight, it happens. We didn't play all that well and Dayton played great. I still like our chances on a neutral court against anybody in the conference. I get its frustrating, but some of this stuff in here is ridiculous. This. Games like this are tough to live through,...

I think JT is really good.

I think Jarvis is at least really good.

Lots of theories at halftime....how about we at least slow Sibbert down? Killing us.

I only mentioned Watson, but you added the other two. If you think that's harsh, fine. My opinion. I'm not backing down because anyone may not like it. If this is to me, my comment was directed to TruePoint, which was why I quoted the language he used. You get so worked up about things. Next year y...

Rod even if we concede that the Eastern 8 became the A10, there are only five members in common from the 80-81 season, so far many purposes it is a different animal anyways. It is factually accurate to say that we've never led the "Atlantic 10" this late. So why belabor this point?

Rambone, you have to realize how a lot of this stuff sounds to people right?

Rod, the thing is we only have a slight disagreement on this, which is that I feel I'd rather have a guy *like* this (not necessarily this specific guy) than nobody or a seven footer that can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Like you, I'd also love to get a center. I just think in the absence o...

Yeah, I think you can be both appreciative of the people that do show up and frustrated with those that don't. That is where I'm at. Just realistically, it is going to take a little more time and a little more success to start selling the place out every game.

I totally get where Dan is coming from. I get frustrated, too. But it is important that he realize that the crowd will be there in the end. Taking emotion out of it, there has to be some level of patience for the groundswell to develop. This team has been a non-factor to the casual sports fan in RI ...

I don't care about this particular guy. In general, every guy that isn't seven feet you say we shouldn't bother. I'm not being a contrarian, and I'm not the one with my head in the sand. If you gave me a choice between a seven footer and a 6'6" guy of the same ability, obviously I would prefer ...

So we should just give a scholarship to the tallest guy we can find, then? Or just leave one unused because we can't find someone tall enough? Sorry, that isn't a plan. It would be nice to have a true center, but the highest priority is guys that can play. Not the tallest guy available. Next year yo...

Consensus 3-star 6'7" forward being recruited by Power 5 conference programs? And we are yawning! I would at least be interested in seeing some film. His profile lists him at SF, but it looks like he's played PF as a JUCO, so maybe he can do a little of both. I know everyone wants a 7'0" c...

To me, it's like if you didn't watch a show, then you get netflix and you can just binge watch it. When you learn history, the only limit to it is your appetite. You don't have to sit around waiting for events to unfold. My favorite experience like that was discovering my father's record collection ...

My pet peeve are the season ticket holders who think buying the tickets is how they support the program, and don't realize that using them is important. This is a big issue to me, and I encourage anyone who cares about it to contact the athletic department after the seasons to express concern. They...

I think many posters feel the same way and don't care about their run to the sweet 16 in 1988 or what happened under Jim Harrick. You're entitled to feel however you want about it, but I suspect you're very wrong about this. I think most fans do care about the history. I was even a few years behind...

Looks like all four of the top 4 teams could easily lose 1 game. Dayton looks good. Agree, but likely only two of them (and at least two of them) will. That is what makes it so interesting to me. A good deal of this will work itself out, but there is a lot left to happen considering there are only ...

Resetting the breakdown of contending teams: After this weekend's action, all A10 teams have played 16 conference games and have two to play. There are three teams tied for first at 12-4: URI, Davidson and Dayton. VCU, after their loss at home to Dayton this weekend, is a game back of the pace at 1...

TP, the rest of that is not the regular season. I'm talking strictly regular season. Obviously the games in the A-10 tournament are more important than tomorrow night's game. No, I get that. I don't think I explained myself well. My point was that it is likely that win or lose this game tomorrow, w...

Scine, I think winning the A10 regular season would be really cool for this program, and since it seems most likely that we will fall a little short of the dance this year it would be a pretty good consolation prize for this team for having a season that has exceeded expectations. Until we are elimi...

R72, looking strictly at the turnover numbers in the box score, I could see your point. But TJ was our second leading scorer yesterday and was 5/6 from the floor. The turnovers yesterday were pretty unusual for him. I think TJ is the least of our worries and along with Hassan is probably our most st...

Here is my attempt to combine multiple post in to one. Bressler - I don't know what you are basing your prediction of Terrell for 21 anf Gil for 12. I can't remember Gil scoring 12 in a big game this year and Terrell has really struggled the last two games. Terrell is struggling again. Terrell has ...

Kentucky? Yeah. We'd also struggle with the Cavs...

Well, I do think we will have to go on the road quite a bit to get the kind of games we need on our resume. But I am OK with that.

rambone 78 wrote:So what changed in the 2nd half?

Giannini said after the game that they started out playing zone against us based on their scouting from the Davidson game, but had to switch out of it when we did such a good job against.

As an aside and looking to next year, our surprising showing this year is going to make scheduling quality, non-conference games next year all the more difficult. I sure as hell would refuse any overtures to come to the Ryan Center to play Rhody if racking up wins was a priority. The other side of ...

I'm guessing that Senior Day next Saturday will be a very emotional one for both Gil and Dan. It's good for everyone that the basketball leadership (as opposed to the cultural leadership) on the team is underclassmen. Reduces the chance that the emotion makes things harder. I think our young guys w...

Floor is much better now overall, but personally I miss the giant ram head :-/

Heyo! Awesome job, Rhody!

Hope he finally feels at home. Wherever his career takes him, he can always come back to Kingston. I want to see him go out with a bang.

Lunari now has us on the bubble. Looks like another "biggest game of the year" coming up." Now the important question. What food group will be be discussing tomorrow? I'll bet adam has pizza today. Well now I feel like I have to eat the food thats local to where we are playing before...

I thought we played really well and poised for most of the game. We handled the zone better than we ever had I think. We just didn't go for the kill. The reason the game was close at the end is because we had our worst defensive half of the season in the second half (relative to the competition). T...

Somehow Dayton is going to survive this. VCU could not capitalize on numerous opportunities after Pollard fouled out. Great for URI - Dayton is the only team in contention for first place that does not have a tie-breaker against us, and we have a chance to pick up a game on them when we play this we...

RhowdyRam02 wrote: Not that it matters since we're going to win out, but with the win and Richmond playing UMass on Wednesday night, the worst we can do at this point is a tie for fifth place.

I believe that if Richmond beats UMass on Wednesday we clinch a bye, regardless of any other results the rest of the way.

This thing is slipping through Dayton's fingers.

Ha then they make it when they're trying to miss. C'mon TJ....

Probably our worst defensive half of the season considering the competition. Big part of that is Hassan being absolutely abused, whereas usually he is the key to our defense being so good. It is the equivalent of EC being 0-12 from the floor with zero points.

Am I in an episode of Punk'd? What the hell is this shit?

skwalk47 wrote:Is this the classic post-dreamcrusher spot or so the boys so think they can get an at large?

They can still win the league, so they're definitely playing for something.

URI is 5-1 after losses this year, with an average margin of +19 in those games.

rodfromcranston wrote:Greek Pizza? They never heard of garlic.

Greek pizza is not great. The steak & cheeses that they make at greek pizza places are good, though.

The Philly version of the steak and cheese (the so called "cheesesteak" which infuriatingly reverses the significance of the fundamental ingredients) is an absolute abomination. I blacked out before getting to the end of that sentence. Holy cow...D'Angelo's? Do you go to Sbarro for good p...

bwerner10 wrote:Anyone know where to get a good cheesesteak close to the Lasalle campus?

Is there a D'Angelos around there?

We'd lost six games before this one and followed five of those up with double digit wins. Our average scoring margin in those six follow-up games is +19.

I'm not worried about carryover.

He's a thirty percent shooter overall, but there is a difference between contested shots, shots taken off the bounce or otherwise under duress and wide open, uncontested spot-up looks. He will make that much more than his overall season percentage. In 2015, that is about as good of a shot as you're ...

Dude, we have a thread where we have been tracking a lot of our former players, including Holton:

I thought that was one of Hurley's best interviews, honestly. Thought the stuff about recruiting was really interesting.
