Wagner just won the NEC and is headed to the NCAAT, presumably as a 16 seed that will play in the first four. I guess the only silver lining from this season is that URI defeated one NCAAT team ... safe to count this as progress? Actually kind of funny - for all the complaining about how "soft...

The nice thing is that we can all directly affect positive change by giving to NIL. Recruiting has changed. You can get guys who want to play for you, but you need to be close to other financial offers. There's a market. It's no different than any of us in our jobs - or any of us going to college. Y...

I don't know if it was one of our Keaney Blue members, but someone on twitter said he was threatened in private messages from some of our prominent donors after he criticized Archie. That is not good. I kinda love that. I'd rather have the donors completely aligned and behind the program and coach....

I mean if that were the case than why did EC come here? Dan was an aspiring coach who’s best collegiate accolade was a mid major finals loss. Some kids want to be the cornerstone and become a legend. Those are the kids you want. That was before $$ was dangling freely in front of them from many suit...

Estevez still looks like a freshman. I was hoping he would finish the year strong. Did you not watch the first half? He led the team in scoring... Archie then barely played him in the second. He looks much better on the defensive end than earlier in the year. He'll be a better player next year. Arc...

I was as excited as anyone when we hired grumpy, but I don’t care anymore what he says and how he seems to understand what is wrong. I only care that he fixes it….that is literally all that matters. And I don’t know if he even has a plan, since he couldn’t even give us a rough timeline, all he gave...

While encouraged by the effort, Zek single-handedly lost this game. Why he is in and Weston is out is beyond me. Everyone needs to figure it the fuck out this off season. Archie included. Fucking trash. Spot on. Archie sucked today. Absolutely awful. I won’t say he sucked, out of the half these guy...

Blue Man

I was prepared to lose. Just not like this. It’s an art form in how painful we make losses.

Bad day booze. Fuck everything.

Blue Man

Would like to know why Arch played Zek over Estevez or Weston.

That was the difference.

Blue Man

Up 4 to down 4 in 3:45. Pathetic.

Young teams don’t know how to win. Here we are again.

Let’s hope Hammond is the guy and the talent is upgraded significantly.

What just happened before that foul is exactly why we need a true point guard. Louis is just not cutting it as a 1. Slow walk up the floor followed by a lazy and bad pass into the post. Then to top it off his transition defense looked like he got stuck in the mud leading to an easy layup. I know it...

We’re a young team. That matters a lot.

Ugh. Honestly, offensively we’ve moved the ball well and got open shots. We are just missing said open shots. And layups. Defensively we’re bad everywhere but when you play a team focused defense, one late guy can screw everything else. Fuchs and Brown are slow, lost, and shit defensively. Why they ...

We have below average coaching. They failed to bring talent here and they have so far failed to get the most out of them. Pathetic.

Yeah. Talent is different than being good.

We have talent. We aren’t good.

DK would never operate here because the gaming commission put a clause in that requires the company's physical hardware and IP have to be located in the state lottery office. Where did you see this?

Great thoughts and intel Ramster. One thing I will say re: capacity, is that if Rhody stayed in Keaney we'd sell out every game. Fordham staying in Rose hill and only recently able to sell it out (they had their most wins EVER last year) is more a commentary on their commitment to basketball (their ...

You could take them on the app during the Mohegan tourney, but then not during regular season. Maybe they only allow betting for neutral site tournaments? The RI Sportsbook app? Odd.

My bar for a "successful" season is 2 wins this week. I have a low standard for this team. There's obviously broken pieces but I still stand by the fact that I think there's as much talent on this team as there is anywhere but Dayton in the conference. The issue is between the collective e...

OK so we did the "what do you think will happen" poll, and it's pretty clear that an overwhelming majority of (rational) fans think we are winning 1 or less games this week. Completely understandable and sensible, and easily the most obviously realistic outcome. But...let's just say for th...

I'm a mental wreck and in a place of paradox. I almost want a loss today. Like I don't, but I do. A loss will hurt, it will finalize the season, I will mourn. However, if we do win, it will only prolong the pain/suffering. There's this weird place where I almost think people would completely turn th...

I took Dayton loss because I think we’ll get our hopes up and then play the hilarious joke of crushing our spirit. You can only have true suffering with hope, and right now we have none.

How many wins are these frustratingly inconsistent Rams coming away with this week?

Will they show up at all?
Will they win some games, give us some hope, and crush our soul?
Will they do the funniest thing ever and be the first A10 team to win from playing in the opening round?

I like the toughness of this team, nobody is dogging out there, we just seem to be severely outclassed in talent. I know its tough to play 4 games in a row, but this team is in desperate needs some shooters/scorers. To many lapses on the defensive end also. I hope Tammi stays here because I've enjo...

It’s a conspiracy. They should be allowed to lose to shitty teams and make the tournament. They should just be let in because the “cartel” is evil.

Utah State is relevant now, similar to what URI was nationall .
