I'm in the C camp. (obviously it's a mixture of a few letters) Problem is, it may not be fixable with the current group. Just as we would often get recruits that would be amazing except for one flaw in their game, sometimes in my opinion that one flaw can be the 'clutch/confidence' gene. Name the gu...

RhodeIslandRams

Suddenly every play is Garrett forcing the layup. Not blaming him but where are the big men? Earlier Martin scored at will, CT playing solid, then four of the last five times down no one gets any touches. Ugh.

RhodeIslandRams

I'm still not a fan of the concept of stalling with 15 seconds left and forcing a drive in the lane with 3 seconds left to play. I know Garrett is amazing but the last two possessions could have gone way better without killing time. No?

RhodeIslandRams

I get frustrated when guards, with 20 seconds left on the shot clock, stay at the top of the key until there are seven or so seconds left. To me Garrett sometimes uses this as a crutch. It lets him drive to the basket or shoot a rushed shot without the second-guessing that would come if he did the s...

RhodeIslandRams

I had to apply. Go through negotiations on how many games we promise to air, make sure we play their spots, etc. Of course a few days after I signed the contract E.C. got hurt....thought we would have a ranked team on the station, oh well. We are Rhody's first affiliate out-of-state, just one more s...

RhodeIslandRams

That's just it...there ARE no Rams fans that I know of here. So we 'sell' it as Pac 12 and Atlantic 10 games, since the opponents are varied and interesting.

C'mon how could we not do the "Hurley" combo

RhodeIslandRams

I didn't think the foul at the end was blatant, until I saw THIS angle. Not whining, but it IS a clear foul for what it's worth.

RhodeIslandRams

That hurt. Great game, very entertaining. But the errant inbounds pass, and the near RI steal that went right to PC under the basket were hard to take, even harder than the tip-in at the end. I love Four but against fast teams he just can't get good shots off. And misses when he does. Lots of positi...

RhodeIslandRams

OK, so we all do some pretty crazy things for the love of our Rams right? First, as some of you know, we did a web televised call-in show with Ram highlights from here in Arizona. Well now, we are doing something even a bit weirder for the locals here: we are now the Rhode Island Rams first-ever out...

RhodeIslandRams

How Crazy. So my radio station is the ASU affiliate here. Guess I'll be seeing a bit of Bobby soon!

RhodeIslandRams

Kenny Green? History?

If you can suffere through a rough Skype connection...at about the 8:00 mark Kenny will tell you exactly what he said in the Syracuse game lol

RhodeIslandRams

What hurts most is coming back despite the terrible shooting to lead by four at the end only to lose it in heartbreaking fashion. ughhh

RhodeIslandRams

Hassan even came down with the rebound for the winning put-back but it was knocked out of his hands. Great comeback but you can't win if you can't hit ANY shots past five feet away.

RhodeIslandRams

Add me to the list of people who paid for the game and can't get Cox to load.

RhodeIslandRams

Only because I'm crazy enough to add to this stuff...but anyone else notice it looked like Hassan was fouled while shooting with 0.5 on the clock? I know, it doesn't matter etc etc...but still. I stopped the recording and when he shot it there was time on the clock. That also shows just how early EC...

RhodeIslandRams

Rod, I'm with ya. But I'm not considering these 'moral' victories. We blew games we should have won for all the reasons stated here. But this is more like a kid who couldn't reach the rim, now almost jamming it but the ball hitting the back rim. Should have gone in but didn't. They will start winnin...

RhodeIslandRams

The past two games hurt more than any I've watched in a long time. But (beware of optimism here!!) the main reason they hurt so much had nothing to do with what year into the Hurley plan we are, or outside observations. For me, they hurt so badly because we finally watched a Rams team that looks str...

RhodeIslandRams

I know Gilvydas can hit threes all day when no one is guarding him at least!

RhodeIslandRams

Help us poor out-of-staters and help get us inspired for the return of the web TV call-in show!

Much appreciated, anything will help. Send to jim@rhodeislandrams.com

RhodeIslandRams

Just talked with Kenny about this. I told him I would be willing to help get publicity for a 'Bring Kenny Home' campaign provided there are no 'bad' details that would derail it. He said he wanted to talk to a couple of people and see what his situation is and get back to me. Seems like a great guy ...

RhodeIslandRams

Tough Loss. Really hard to understand the poor FT shooting. But quick question...with 8 seconds left when Biruta got fouled, did the ball go in, and if so, why wouldn't the basket count? I don't see how it could be before the shot...

RhodeIslandRams

To have the ball with a chance to win and not get off a good shot...HURTS. To have a BS call on the loose ball. Hurts.

But I was proud of this team tonight. I think we have officially started on the road to respect. We WILL win some big games this year.

RhodeIslandRams

Anyone else get to talk to Biggie's Father at the Arizona game? Nice guy! I told him it was good to see his boy improve quickly after the first couple of games, and he laughed and said he had a 'talk' with Biggie. Would most of you agree we have some quality kids representing us these days on the co...

We couldn't leave our seats with the cameras once the game started, so the video is weak, but worth bringing the 'feel' of the game to those who couldn't come out to AZ!

RhodeIslandRams

Amen to Smokin and Rod's last posts.

RhodeIslandRams

Yes, SmartyBarrett...people were really concerned last night and I had no official word so I didn't want to say until I had my facts straight. and Rod, I don't know the protocol, not making excuses for them. All I know first hand is that they made players and the head coach available to me both nigh...

RhodeIslandRams

Not sure why the coaches were not around after SMU but I know there was an emergency last night and the normal media handlers were not there after the game. I really can't say what it is yet, hope you understand.

RhodeIslandRams

I see ATP. But weird that media goes to the locker room after last night's game and all that is there are KMac, a local print guy, and me. There were 100 media people there last night....guess they all hung outside the Zona room lol

RhodeIslandRams

I'm not an X and O's guy, let's admit that upfront. But what I am good at, is reading people, emotions, momentum, etc. So as a guy who just spent two days with the Rams, up close and personal, and who lives in Tucson with the U of A...my thoughts for what it's worth: 1. Our guys were intimidated, sc...

RhodeIslandRams

Yes, Gilvydas and I talked. Nice guy. (he's the tall one)

RhodeIslandRams

Seven minutes of raw Ram.

Good to see some Rams fans last night and cannot wait for tonight! Here's an update: yes, we will kick off our shows hopefully late this week, sooo busy.... For those who want to know what is was like to be at last night's game, we will have a 'raw' video up on our site in about 15 minutes...includi...

RhodeIslandRams

Sounds great except my drink will be diet coke since I'm covering the game lol. They need to win this first game because I waited 14 years to watch them play Arizona here!

RhodeIslandRams

Roll Call, who can I hope to meet here in Tucson on Monday or Tuesday!?? Also, see my last post.....

RhodeIslandRams

OK for those coming to Tucson.....some basic questions...about getting together: 1. What is the perfect day for a pre-game gathering? and time? 2. Does the venue need to be REALLY close to the court? 3. Does the venue have to serve alcohol? (PRE-game, not post-game) Reasons I ask? I have a studio on...

RhodeIslandRams

Had a nice chat with Gilvydas for our latest blog. He was interesting and a pretty deep guy.

Rhody74 with a media reference...gotta love that! First learned that in Jor 210 at URI in 1975

RhodeIslandRams

Guys I'm trying to grab a handful of tickets for this game, what would you suggest is the best way to do that? I know buying them through Arizona can't be best, and besides I want seats on the URI side hehe. I might get a pair from a player..and a press pass. Any other options? Ryan Ctr? TicketMaster?

RhodeIslandRams

Hey I've seen a few posts about some of you guys coming to Tucson in November. Is it OK to ask those who plan on coming to post here? I'd like to set up a pre or post game gathering...or at least a way to hook up and meet everyone from the board!

OB I have never been to Italy...would have been hard to say no if that situation came up! Am I the only full Italian Rhode Island native never to go? My wife, who is not Italian, lived there as a teen because her Father was stationed at an Air Force base there. Gilvydas and I started chatting on Fac...

RhodeIslandRams

Thanks OB. The content is a bit 'soft', but I hope the friendships we build early will make for some great content when the games count. I want to thank Mike Laprey for being open to working with us while we are a small player, and of course Gilvydas and you guys on the forum. It will be a great sea...
