4600 and change. The offense doesn't create enough motion or movement to get easy looks. Time to buckle up, back to back road games coming up and will need to play at a higher level to win those games.

Anybody know what the hotels are like around the Barclays?

CT Rhody

The steam should be free, URI hasn't mentioned that it wouldn't be anything other then free to date.

CT Rhody

RPI up to 77 today per ESPN. Big jump from yesterdays 115 ranking.

CT Rhody

I think one of the issues with the intensive defensive Dan wants to play which I love but he doesn't rotate his players enough. He obviously gets the guys he trust and rides then until the tank is empty and even then leaves them in the game sometimes. Besides that, great weekend and great season ahe...

Get down to Mohegan, we need all the help we can get with all the Dukies around..

CT Rhody

Cincy fans are on ful meltdown mode on their site! Huge win today and great for the RPI obviously!

CT Rhody

So where will everybody be at 11am tomorrow, Margaritaville???

CT Rhody

How about Margaritaville??? Can't beat that place!

CT Rhody

Just incase we didn't have enough reasons to be fired up about this game, the lead Cincy analyst apparently has little respect for our team overall and no respect for our defensive abilities.

I'm going Sunday, have a wedding today.

CT Rhody

If we're waiting for years and years of success to sell tickets, it's never going to happen. Dan will be long gone before then. And as always when we lose a good coach, the program takes a step back. It's on us to help spread the word and market the program. The state doesn't provide the university...

CT Rhody

This is great to hear. Also good to see the projo reach back out to their readers and spend some time addressing some of their concerns.

CT Rhody

I think tonights attendance will be back up around 6k with two in state teams playing. Not way, not even close. There are less than 3000 seats sold right now. Hopefully the students and game day purchases put it in the mid 4s. Less then 3k sold right now, what's our season ticket base? Obviously le...

CT Rhody

This is completely overblown. Culture not only drives a program but success drives it's fan culture. If we make the NCAA tournament, we'll see gradually fan improvements next year. But if we can have sustained success, that's where you start creating real demand for tickets and scarcity takes over a...

Kmac thinks the Big East is a "Power Conference" and wants that "Power Conference" bias to help pick PC up to national relevance. If St Mary's played in the new big east he would have them ranked around 14 right now.

CT Rhody

Did Lysard play?

CT Rhody

I would be impressed if 2k students showed up tonight. I'm assuming the admin will just let as many students in as wait in the line as long as there are still seats available closing in on game time.

CT Rhody

I just bought a pair of tickets at the Ryan Center box office. Front row 314. If I got in row A there should be plenty of good seats avail upstairs. I was told 3000 tickets have been sold and expecting 2000 students on walk up. That's what RC staff is planning for. If that's true that's extremely d...

Chris - With 13 players available this season for the first time and a likely 9-10 play rotation at the most, would Dan think about saving a year of elgibility and focus on a development year for potentially player 12-13?

CT Rhody

Is this recorded anywhere?

CT Rhody

Any word what the buzz is like on campus?

Would be great to get 6k to the opener.

How would you do that from the site? Assuming the school might open more then the 1,500 allotment for students for this one?

CT Rhody

I think coaches have to identify kids that fit their specific program best and it isn't a one sized fit all model. I would view URI's recruiting strategy as a limited risk model. I would view it as fit specific model. I think we'll see the ranking of player increase as starter minutes begin to becom...

1. 22-8
2. 13-5
3. 70.2
4. Matthews 14.7

CT Rhody

Awesome! I just liked the Facebook page. This is great stuff and can't wait to tune in. Chris is certainly doing his part to turn this into a high level program!

CT Rhody

Honestly I'm not so sure this is 100% correct. Obviously every kid is different and will perceive things differently but Dan seems to target and then hone in on a small list of players. Ed seems to target and work his ass of (credit to him) for every top 100-175 player around. If we make the tournam...

Cord cutting is the way to go, many of these options like Sling TV actually include ESPN and Foxsports.

I was wondering where Rod has been.. Glad to hear he is coming back as I miss his commentary.

That guy to the left was off the wall, why would anybody listen to him. Lay off the Red Bull's man..

CT Rhody

Does anybody know what the buzz is like on campus? Could we be looking at 1,500 to 2,000 students for the opener? That will really be significant to our averages if we can get that kind of turnout per game.

CT Rhody

An interesting NCAA field projection, here is the URI snapshot with a projected 6 seed.

What is the tip off event? Us out of staters don't always know about these events.

CT Rhody

Is Dowtin looking better then Robinson?

CT Rhody

Glad Thompson is making strides and hitting shots, you can never have too many shooters available off the bench. Can we start the season already!

CT Rhody

How did Akele look, stronger? I really think with his length he is a mismatch waiting to happen.

CT Rhody

Thanks everybody for all the information! Interesting the way the rotation seems to be breaking. If things work out this year the future is potentially even brighter with the depth this squad has.

What makes you say that? PC has a lot of wing players already.

CT Rhody

Do they really need Langevine for offense anyway? Stand near the rim and dunk anything given to you when your left open. Hopefully that's all we need from that position anyway right?

CT Rhody

So he will only play 9-10 and currently 11 guys are fighting for those spots, interesting. I hope they do save Lysard and Tertsea's year of eligibility since they won't see the floor this year in any meanfulling way. I really wonder what other player or two won't be in the rotation. Obviously Dowtin...

CT Rhody

Any first hand accounts? Apparently everybody went out to eat or to the bar after this thing!
