Blue Man LITERALLY taking one for the team!!

RhodeIslandRams · Re: Game #27: @ La Salle Tuesday Feb 21, 6:00PM CBSSN Gotta love JT!

Gotta love JT!

RhodeIslandRams

I don't understand that. Run out the clock w/o shooting and there's 6 seconds left??? That's twice this year I saw that. Something new??

RhodeIslandRams · Re: Game #27: @ La Salle Tuesday Feb 21, 6:00PM CBSSN Nice move EC.

Nice move EC.

RhodeIslandRams

Cool to see the depth actually working for Rhody.

RhodeIslandRams

They STILL tried to get EC the last shot. WHY????

RhodeIslandRams · Re: Game #27: @ La Salle Tuesday Feb 21, 6:00PM CBSSN NICE D Rhody!

NICE D Rhody!

RhodeIslandRams

Still missed the last three straight from the line to almost blow it

RhodeIslandRams

This team's problems are all mental. No pressure after losing the last couple of important games, so they start strong today. Then in the last 5 seconds when EC actually needs the second shot? Almost an air ball.

RhodeIslandRams

From Blue Man: Where I question Dan is situations like last night about his feel for the pulse of the game. How in the name of God do you not watch players straight up not try against smaller, less talented players..with a legitimate NCAA bid on the line essentially...and not try to send a message....

RhodeIslandRams

I know there are a million reasons this year sucks.

But EC coming back and really not being able to play the game well anymore has to be the biggest. Who could have expected him to be a liability for half our games?

RhodeIslandRams · Re: Game #25: Fordham Wednesday Feb 15, 7:00PM Ryan Center BB IQ

BB IQ

RhodeIslandRams

Gee, we never saw that drive/dish for the three ever before have we? Think we'd be ready for it EVER?

RhodeIslandRams

Do we lose every loose ball?

RhodeIslandRams

Not one person on this board would shoot a lower FT %, no matter your age and even so out of breath you could barely stand up. 3-9? REALLY?

I can see with seconds left in the game, that's just choking. But with 12 minutes left? HOW???

RhodeIslandRams

These announcers discussing whether we would take the chance and keep EC in the game with three fouls. You mean the EC that went scoreless the whole first half, against Fordham?

RhodeIslandRams

One thing we all can agree on? It SUCKED to lose another big game we had right in our hands.

RhodeIslandRams

Of course the refs aren't the reason we blow games at the end. To me it's BB IQ and poise/confidence. I think Dowtin has that.

All I'm saying is to not get that call in a big game with a second left is still lame. despite all the flaws our team allegedly has.

RhodeIslandRams

Quit it with blaming the refs. This wasn't their fault. How about players making free throws? The collective basketball IQ on this team is not high. And they don't play together it's a bunch of one on one isolation nonsense. I was waiting for this from some of you. Blaming refs for loses is not usu...

LOL DeanDome88 actually got a laugh outta me after a crushing loss...god job

RhodeIslandRams

That hurt. We played a decent game, and I never complain about this, but that was a foul at the end that would have won us the game. refs know they blew it so they made sure we got the ball in bounds. He got MAULED driving to the hoop, even the ESPN announcer was shocked no foul was called. WOW we c...

RhodeIslandRams

Remember when Dowtin had that 'deer-in-the-headlights' look when he first got game minutes? Boy he sure got over THAT quickly didn't he?

No disrespect to ANY Ram, but this is what people mean when they talk about basketball IQ.

RhodeIslandRams

Boy to listen to how the announcers are telling it, you'd think Umass took a ten point lead just now...OK they gave us a little scare, but let's appreciate the lack of crumbling down the stretch these past few games. I know the competition hasn't been top notch, but that never stopped us from chokin...

RhodeIslandRams

Tryin' not to pick on EC but why is he trying to dribble between 3 guys again?

RhodeIslandRams

EC just isn't a great ball handler

RhodeIslandRams · Re: Game 23: @ UMASS Tuesday Feb 7, 7:00PM CBSSN love Dowtin.

love Dowtin.

RhodeIslandRams

OK so my post woke them up?

11-0 duquesne run!

RhodeIslandRams

yikes Dayton crushing Dukes 37-11

RhodeIslandRams

Difference between a month ago and now: Last month if we were in a close game, but leading, I'd tell my son 'don't worry we'll find a way to lose' The past two games felt different. Last night one of the announcers said that Davidson had the game well in hand when they were only up SIX. I started ye...

This.

I almost always feel guys are held out too long in the second half when they have three or even four fouls. Gamble.

RhodeIslandRams wrote:Rhody will take this game.

I've never made a prediction before, especially with THIS team, but for some reason it just never felt like they would lose this one. I guess that's a good thing.

RhodeIslandRams

Rhody will take this game.

RhodeIslandRams

Iverson foul in ten seconds? Geez

RhodeIslandRams

LOVE Martin.

RhodeIslandRams

I get excited to see CL come in to see what he can do, and he pushes a guy for no reason at the top of the key getting a foul within 20 seconds of coming in the game. i know he's a kid and I really like his game but that stuff drives me nuts!! But CT is so fun to watch. Dowtin too but CT is a force.

RhodeIslandRams

Dowtin does seem to have a solid BB IQ though doesn't he?

That will help win high-pressure games in the future...

RhodeIslandRams

It's quiet on the board right now, hundreds of Rhody fans worried they will blow this lead. Sucks having that feeling. I think they'll be OK mostly because they're at home. But never easy!!

RhodeIslandRams

Blue Man, I'm one of the optimists, which I partly attribute to being out of Rhode Island for many years. I'm not knocking the players, I'm just pointing out that this group of players is uniquely on and off again. It is what it is. Compare this season to last season even. It's an oddity. And I agre...

RhodeIslandRams

Dowtin might be that high BB IQ, Ice Water in Veins guy we always ask for.....

RhodeIslandRams

So Holloway gets the LeBron treatment? lol

RhodeIslandRams · Re: Game 17: Massachusetts, Sunday Jan 15, 2:30pm NBCSN EC feelin' it!

EC feelin' it!

RhodeIslandRams

60-60 and seven minutes left. Classic example of a game they should win, agreed?

RhodeIslandRams

Our defense is somehow so bad, it even increases the free throw percentages of Umasses worst FT shooters.

RhodeIslandRams

They hit amazing shots, EC throws up TWO airballs already. It defies logic.

RhodeIslandRams

There is a lot of history on this board. I've followed this team closely since I went to URI in the late 70's. But I'm not as much a student of the game as some of you, i.e. I don't watch a ton of other teams play when the games have no connection to Rhody. So I have this question: Have any of you e...

HOW do they leave a guy alone under the basket???????
