Maybe he got there late and heard the buffoon PA guy saying, "Jordan Hare into the game for the first time" around that 4 minute mark. K-Mac was there on time. But like anyone else, he's human. I know earlier this year, I put in a caption on a video about "Ohio State coach Tad Motta....

Hi Billy - Someone posted this on page 1 of the Auburn thread, so I'm going to lock this thread. Cool picture though!

EDIT: There is a general thread about Jordan Hare though, it might be fun to post it in that one too. That's available here: http://keaneyblue.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=437

Malone's put together a nice few games. I wonder if we'll continue to see Nik come off the bench, It's kind of a big move that really hasn't been discussed too much. It wouldn't surprise me if he replaces Brooks in the lineup at some point going forward. Hare as a starter has really worked, and the...

Definitely hit on his current professional situation - Where's he playing? How does he like it? Does he have any plans to coach in the future? etc.

I have to disagree there. I can't think of anything more entertaining than this baptism by fire. It's like every game is a first round NCAA game. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I would get absolutely no thrill out if seeing this young team beat mother Mary sisters of the poor by 10 points ju...

I think the first shot after the inbounds did hit the rim, but the guy bobbled it before shooting, and it looked like the shot clock expired before he shot. We'll never know, since they decided not to check. That was my thought - I didn't even think he got the shot off. Hurley wanted a review, but ...

A lot of us were jumping the gun on Hare. He will be HUGE for us. Biggest positive of the night, easily. Practice FT's though, please. They *all* need to practice FTs. I'm glad someone started this thread because as disappointing as this loss is, the development of Hare is really something to be ex...

Didn't get to see any of the game, but loved it when I looked at the box score and saw 16 reabounds and 7 blocks from Hare. Just curious, what was the size of Loyola's front court players? Big, but no one as skilled as Ohio State or Seton Hall. I can't remember them using much post-up offense, and ...

free throw shooting!!, and I hate the not fouling while up 3 with 10 seconds to go. I feel like Charlie Brown :( we should be 2-3 Hurley mentioned specifically that they were worried with the rebounding on FTs if they fouled up 3, and the results during OT seem to suggest he might have been prophet...

[VIDEO] URI struggles with free throws, rebounding in the final minutes of regulation, OT of 58-54 loss to Loyola: http://patch.com/A-zL3Q

The thing about Hare's slams is that he just looks so effortless doing it. Like, both of them, it didn't look like he got that much off the ground, but they were both easy.

Hare has shown off some great athleticism tonight. Only four points, but 12 boards and at least 3 blocks, I believe.

adam914 wrote:Is Nik not playing again tonight? I am watching the online feed and it didnt look like he was announced with the starting lineup.

Malesevic isn't starting, but he's participating in warm-ups.

Just about ready to start, and I've started updating the chat - http://patch.com/A-zKYR - It looks like they're waiting for a TV broadcast to finish up. Weird.

Shake off that turkey sleep, the Rams play tonight. I'll be doing the usual live chat thing at 7, when they tip-off against Loyola, and I should have the postgame pressers as usual. Chat box will be available here: http://patch.com/A-zKYR

There were probably about 250 people in attendance for the URI v SH game. Felt like I was at a Montreal Expos game. The billed attendance for the two games (Ohio State vs. Washington, Seton Hall vs. URI) was about 3,000. Not especially surprising, given the lateness of a game on a Sunday night, and...

Steve, Bigby is in his last year here. I believe there are only 9 eligible scholarship players. So, 4 of 9 including 3 starters will not be back. It is hard to call URI a "young team". So, I'm suggesting increasing the minutes of Hare, TJ and Aaman along with Mike and X. Hare and Aaman's ...

I should be there, live blogging, for those of you who can't make it. I believe the weeklies will be there as well, and the Projo.

I've discussed this in the past, but yeah, Grinnell basically runs a junk offense and turns the game into something that isn't quite basketball. It works in Division III, and I imagine it might work for some high school programs, it doesn't work above that level. A couple years ago, Grinnell played ...

Pink hat fans will not be back this year unless we reschedule CG. Hurley should consider reducing PT for seniors and others with no future with the program. Tough to do with a short roster to begin with. I like what I see and believe the future of URI basketball will be brighter. When this happens ...

Press conference is now up, although the audio is a bit muddy, unfortunately: http://patch.com/A-zClF

I thought scoring was almost at a standstill near the end of the game. Reading a game summary, we were 1-8 from the 10:56 mark til the end! That's not even a shot a minute. Of course three shot clock violations, plus a few turnovers, help account for that. Wow! That's pretty awful. Willard mentione...

For those bringing up the Munford three, it was very clear on the replay that he didnt get it off in time. Not sure if anybody was questioning that or not, but just throwing it out there since its been brought up. I was curious about this, so thanks for clarifying. From my vantage point, it looked ...

Guys, sorry about the delay on the Hurley and Andre Malone presser video, but it's taking forever to encode and spitting out some errors, which is unfortunate. I'm going to drive home and re-check on it, which should be in about 45 to 60 minutes. The Willard video did work though, and it's now poste...

Nobody asked about the lack of a timeout on that final setup, but Hurley didn't sound especially displeased with the shot, noting that Munford was one of their better shooters available. If I had to guess, he might not have called timeout because URI was having problems getting the ball inbound and ...

What did he do to get a one game suspension? It should be serious.What other methods of discipline have been used for this infraction? Hurley was asked about Malesevic following the game by Paul Kenyon, and he didn't really elaborate on the reason for the one-game suspension, except to say it was a...

TruePoint wrote:Brooks! Stud.

That was an absolutely ridiculous shot, and the only thing that got a bigger reaction tonight were the alleyoops.

Powell unstoppable. That 3 where he was fouled seemed like the shot clock buzzer was sounding before the shot. I was surprised to learn the whistle I heard was not a shot clock violation, but rather a foul. It was really, really close, but he clearly got it off, at least from where I'm sitting. (I'...

Matt Swiss had the tweet of the night on this - He told Mike he should take all of his shots with just one left on the shot clock.

Yeah we are definitely seeing some more "major" conference bias in this one from the refs. Eh, I don't think it's this, more that the Rams are hitting Teague on practically every possession because of the size and space he takes up in the lane. Aaman was the only one who came close to bod...

FWIW, it doesn't look like Malesevic is going to play tonight. If he was, he definitely would have been in by now, since Hare and Aaman both have four fouls.

Live chat is here: http://patch.com/A-zB9V

Big news would be that Malesevic has been benched at the start for disciplinary reasons, according to Chris DiSano, who's next to me on press row. Hare is starting in his place.

was that you that asked it when he said what conference are they in now? I didn't ask any questions, no. Typically, if I'm recording, it's tough for me to ask questions, because the camera jumps around and my audio is so much louder than the coach's, making the normalizing odd. I hate using the tri...

More about the refs -- Jesus Christ. The fouls were 14-14. You guys sound like a bunch of whining PC fans. The referees didn't lose this game -- they never do, in fact. Ohio State was 34-24 to the good on the glass. They were 32-17 better in second chance and points off turnovers combined. They for...

And my thoughts after digesting the game a bit... - Powell didn't have a great day from the field, but he played really well otherwise. It looks like he's going to be the iron man of the team again, since they don't really have anyone else that's completely comfortable playing the point. - Malesevic...

The video isn't completely done yet, but it should be up within 15 to 30 minutes. They actually asked Motta to comment about it, and he was pretty funny. It comes at the end of the fourth video: http://patch.com/A-zBz7

This exact crack was made several times in the press room, echoing Bunky.

Post game pressers now up: http://patch.com/A-zBz7 - I've uploaded all four, but one (Motta by himself) is still processing.

Nik comes in and the lead doubles in size. Mike w a nice penetrate and dish to Andre for 3. Malesevic picking up his fourth kind of took him out of the flow for a long time, and it shows. He's also definitely playing a bit softer to avoid picking up the fifth. This game probably silences the "...

OSU's talent and coaching combo is finally wearing the Rams down here in the final minutes, plus the thinness of the Rams' roster. Powell hasn't played great, but in his defense, OSU has been pressing him tight most of the game, making it hard to initiate the offense. URI's cutting has been surprisi...

Great start. Can't believe the weak crowd. I heard the prices for the tickets were like $65 though, is that accurate? I worked at the Sun game a couple years ago vs. Oklahoma St (I was part of the promo team that did silly stuff during timeouts) and the crowd was much better (and wasn't nearly as e...

adam914 wrote:Saw more in a 2 minute span from Hare right there then we saw all of the first two games.

He had a similar, very short sequence against Norfolk State, where he blocked a shot and ran down the other end for a good screen on offense. But yeah, you can see glimpses of the talent from him.

We're now live from the game: http://patch.com/A-z9Xm - Less than a minute until the intros and what not.

Houlton scored 24 with 12 rebounds in his first action on 11/8 vs. Polk St. Palm Beach State is ranked #8 nationally in Div I, inthe NJCA He is listed as a "S" in their roster, which I think means he will probably graduate this May, then be eligible to return to D1. Given Holton's age, he...

I think there are three ways this could play out, from most likely to least likely... 1) No upgrades to current facilities, and the program only goes as far as the people leading the program. Meaning, you need a coach who's way overqualified for the job to come in and coach the guys up and charm peo...

Our preview article with the chat applet goes live at 5 a.m. Sautrday - http://patch.com/A-z9Xm - The link won't work before 5 a.m., just to warn y'all. The chat itself goes live at about 5 p.m. As far as I know, I did get cleared for a media pass, and should be there Saturday and Sunday. I think th...

I'd also be surprised if the Rams had just two spots for the 2013-14 team, just because it seems like every program ends up having at least one guy transfer out after every year. It's too soon (at least IMO) to identify who that might be from this year's team.

I've deleted one post from here. Let's try to avoid comparisons to Soviet rule.

I'll be there, and I believe the Indy, Gansett Times and Projo are all sending reporters. Afterward, I think some buddies and I are hanging out around the casino, but plans aren't formalized yet.

I don't think that the problem with the offense is the offense we are running, as much as it is a lack of scorers on the team. I thought we got some pretty good looks last Friday night, but we couldn't knock anything down. Also, we don't really know if the offense will open up things for guys that ...
