Re: '14 CA SG/SF Isaiah Bailey
Any inside knowledge on our chances with Bailey? A top 150 player would be another huge addition creating further competition for playing time.

Re: Italy Trip Updates #Rhody2Rome
Does anybody know why this is not on Cox sports for people who live in CT? I'm worried Cox might not be showing the URI games in CT moving forward as well. It's the only reason why I even keep Cox cable!

Re: New England Top Ten (bleacher report)
This year will be about respect since there is no way Northeastern is better then URI this year in my opinion. By the way, scheduling Harvard for a home and home might be the no-brainer of the century for a pleathera of reasons but solid competition and cost being the main two. Thoughts?

New England Top Ten (bleacher report)
The Bleacher Report has ranked the top ten New England college basketball teams, needless to say URI was underrated at number 7. I would post the link but I'm posting on my I-phone. Bryant was #10 and Umass #3.

Re: Cox Sports Online 7pm Chat
Nice job to those who tuned in, I would say URI questions thoroughly dominated the conversation overall so catch the replay if you weren't able to view it live. Interesting that Adam still isn't concerned about our two available slots open for next year and kept reiterating that Dan Hurley and his s...

Re: Mini-Plan Information...
I bought from them today and just called the box office, snapped up 5 for the five game package. Sounded like sales were really slow this morning so the site must just be not working properly.

Re: Mini-Plan Information...
Information has been posted up on the site. Due to the extremely weak OOC home schedule, the five game packing is not the game of the month but rather the PC game and 4 conference games with 3 of them being in January.

Re: '14 MA SG Jared Terrell
This is a huge blow no doubt but we still have a lot of positive things going for us. We all knew coming off two single digit win seasons that this class was going to be the hardest to recruit to the program. It should get easier once we prove ourselves on the court.

The pro of this tournament is that you get to see the players ...

Re: Big East - Basketball Only Schools Leaving?
This obviously doesn't make any sense and I'm sure part of the deal includes this league stealing Xavier, Butler, and Creighton at the very least. But since these schools enhance their TV value so much, why would they be willing for only half the share for the next 12 years? It's amazing how patheti...

Re: Big East - Basketball Only Schools Leaving?
If basketball lightweights like Providence, Depaul, Seton Hall, and St John's can steal the top A-10 teams than anything can happen in conference realignment these days. The reason why the East/West breakout works so well is because of the TV money it would be able to produce, I think it would deman...

Re: Big East - Basketball Only Schools Leaving?
I am resigned to the fact that the over rated BE7 will steal our top teams but the Gonzaga inquire has me thinking. If the A-10 could pull it off, what about the below league assuming the BE7 steals 4 A-10 teams St Louis, Dayton, Butler and Xavier plus one non A-10 teams Creighton. A-10 East Rhode I...

Re: Big East - Basketball Only Schools Leaving?
Interesting insider article on ESPN today how the BE7 are overated. They did an analysis over the past 12 seasons and if they added butler and Xavier, they would be program number #1 & #3 in the conference over the last 12 years. Even more amusing was if the league goes with 12 schools, the BE7 ...

Re: ESPNU A-10 Update
Looks like our worst case scenerio could be happening with the BE7 announcing they are leaving as early as today/tomorrow. The new league will take some time to develop and but enough time for Hurly to get us competitive again. The issue is for TV purposes, having two teams in the same market is a w...

Re: ESPNU A-10 Update
The more complex these Big East bylaws end up and legal mess it could create, I feel the better for URI. That might keep the BE7 in the conference for a while. I've mentioned this before but keeping the BE7 in the Big East in the short term will do one of two things that will favor URI. 1) It will a...

Re: ESPNU A-10 Update
Good post PCFriarFan. Watching NBC Sports talk tonight, Vin Parise just said his sources have the BE7 stealing from the A-10 and not going to the A-10 but his source is more than likely Kmac so that doesn't mean much if anything. Interesting how after all these rumors, the best play for URI might be...

Re: ESPNU A-10 Update
Andrew I was worried about that too but if the benchmark truly is going to be facilities aka your home arena, then I like our chances! This realignment is really boom or bust for URI since they wouldn't be one of the teams taken to a new catholic only league obviously.

Re: ESPNU A-10 Update
If the A-10 does drop lets say three bottom feeders (I'm thinking Fordham, Lasalle, and St Bonnies), I would personally love to see them grab George Mason and Creighton to truly be a great league but I know that is just getting greedy. I honestly can see some of these Big East teams just move from t...

ESPNU A-10 Update
Watching the St Joe's game on ESPNU and the halftime show was all about the BE 7. ESPN (Andy Katz) that forming their own league would be a legal mess so the most likely scenerio has those seven schools joining the A-10. Interesting comment was Dino Gaudo (X Wake Forest Coach) said he is hearing fro...
