KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

It would sure help to know if iPhone can play this year. Is that his nickname?

Of course I'm talking about the very strong Nigerian student, Ifeanyi Onyekaba, who just enrolled at the last minute.

That's rough, Reef! I'm not a huge fan of watching the women's game in general (at any level), but I don't doubt the players are trying. Who knows what's wrong with the Rhody women's program??

Just started listening. This is great!!!

"I'm not a mover" - Dan Hurley when asked about moving up to higher level conferences from Rhode Island

I won't post any other spoilers.

I can do some as well...

It's certainly not super easy to type... sonsoffrankkeaney, nor does it read very easily. I wouldn't vote for it.

I learned a lot about the dynamic between the Hurley brothers after watching that GoLocalProv interview with Bobby. He echoed all the same key messages Dan spoke about in his own interview. I think they are both very aligned with how to run the operation, each understanding his own role as well. I n...

Great to have you aboard, TexRam!! Hope we see you posting during the season!

Thanks for the assistance logging on to this new board. It was easier getting government clearance.

Since you were one of the top posters on the old site, I created and reserved your account in advance. You just needed a password. Sorry I didn't realize you were having trouble sooner.

How could I forget a 4 year starter like Jon?!

Your site is very clean and modern. Nicely done.

Ryan Rowdy, with regard to your sig, isn't it Jon Clark ?

I checked out your band site the other night, Tommy. You guys (and girl) have a great sound. I'll probably take another listen and see how I respond to it later tonight perhaps.

ESPN/ESPN2 games during a highly promoted event (Tipoff Marathon) are just too precious for any A10 team, nevermind former Horizon league team, to pass up.

A great start to the season where the A10 will get lots of talk and attention.

Thanks for introducing yourself! It's great to have another voice here!

Blue Man, I think that was the last year that URI was ranked. I think we were as high as 21...but i could be wrong. You're spot on... National Rankings as of Jan 14, 2008 I think you're right...we had that one loss to Duke and went into the Dayton game at 15-1, and then slowly became part of the pr...

As a Blue Devil, he's required to say that 'til death.

Wow, sign me up for that... especially the win at the Dunk!! WOOOOO

Yes, Butler already had Xavier scheduled for an OOC game before Bulldogs joined A10 "immediately". Both schools decided to keep the OOC game for the mutual benefit. They will play their normal A10 game later in the season.

Awesome, Blue Man.

I think any D2/D3 opponent should be given a RPI of 300 for calculation purposes. I wonder where Butler would land if those two non-D1 games were averaged in this way.

Great post, Obadiah!

Rhode Island's non-conf schedule is certainly tough for a rebuilding team, but far from the most challenging in the A10.

Oh, seems like every day there's another bit of new excitement in anticipation of the new season and Hurley Era! Love the uniforms.

U mean runs with Adidas rather than Nike?

Iggy is right. The domain name has not much to do with Google search results.

We had 70 users online just a few minutes ago. Keep in mind that kind of traffic was rarely seen on the old board over the past few seasons. The URI Men's Basketball Team has some serious buzz going amongst the fan base. Our record for the old board was 88 on the day Jim Baron was fired, a massive n...

BFC wrote:One complaint about the board is I guess you can only edit your posts for a short period of time, I always kept my recruit info threads updated but I guess that will all be on True Point now.

Just changed that. Sorry, didn't even notice that setting was different here.

While I like the Hurley ideas, it would become an issue if/when he were to leave the program down the road. I think we should stick with something that has more staying power. Of course I hope he does amazing things here and stays forever, but probably not very realistic. Agreed. I think it needs t...

I can't remember an assistant coach interview at Rhody that has gotten me excited, before this year. Has there been one?

Also, I find myself smiling while watching these interviews and checking the calendar to see how long until the next game.

I dunno, only because the OOC is so tough.

CBS Sports' Basketball writers cannot decide who will win the Atlantic 10 this year, with 4 different teams featured in the predictions.

I hear ya, so maybe I should have just set that Barclays (which means a top 12 finish in A10) is the tournament we need to excel in this year. Maybe a deep run in Brooklyn will put our guys in an even better position next year when "real" post-season tournaments come calling.

Yeah, that's the plan once we have a bunch of candidates. It appears we seem to have a good number of choices, so I'll set it up a bit later.

No, he's enrolled, but we're waiting for NCAA word on his status.

You each noticed exactly what I did. I can't give this guy any credibility.

This may have been posted on the old forum...

Very cool, Surf. I wish I could go, but I have a wedding to attend... on FRIDAY! wtf

No No No! There must be a prize for the contest. I will not accept (although that was a thoughtful suggestion, Ramulous). That said, as we get a better idea of what kind of traffic we see on this site as the season gets under way, and some of the mail-in anonymous donations are tallied, I will repor...

OK, I have enabled Tapatalk for this forum. Please let me know how it goes for those who have already downloaded it.

They still have their old board running alongside the new board which basically does not work at all.

This may end up being a difficult choice! Lots of great suggestions so far.

Wow really? I haven't been on scout in a few days.

Awesome, thanks for putting this together again, Obadiah!

Barclays is our NCAA tournament this year.

There is an option for a android/iOS/blackberry app called Tapatalk to enjoy the forum from a mobile device. I haven't had a chance to try it, but if anyone is interested, I can try to enable it and you can provide feedback on your experience.
