From the St Louis message board: Billiken's (CSTV) feed will be streaming at http://slubillikens.cstv.com/allaccess/ for a small price. However rumor has it that the internet pirates have sent out their bottles with a note saying ill be streaming the CSTV feed for free. http://apps.ohlulz.com/ncaa/?...

I didn't say I believe it, I was just throwing out there what I feel the author of the article was going with. I don't feel like there are "victims" in college sports. You play well, you survive. You have good facilities, you survive. You have a good fan base, you survive. You have good a...

Didn't you say you hadnt seen any Canisius games this year either though? Or am I not remembering that correctly? If so, then can you really say people here can't judge BB because we havent seen any of his games, but you can? There are two ways to evaluate a player. One, watch the games. Two, look ...

Shinze88

YOU HAVE BEEN TOTALLY REFUTED HERE! Got it? Anyone who knows a scintilla about basketball, would not discount defense in evaluating a player's value to his team. If Billy scored ten points he gave away 15. He couldn't guard a statue. plus he's slower than a glacier. He did look great in his two siz...

Shinze88

Find a life you guys. Anyone who says Billy Baron is a better all around player than X should be totally ignored and certainly not worthy of responding to!! I love it. Better % from the field. Better % from three. Better % from the line. Better offensive efficiency. Much better Asst/TO ratio. More ...

Shinze88

Yeah he really should not have taken all those shots last night to basically single handedly cut the lead from 16 to 3. The better course of action would be to lose by 20+ but be happy about the distribution of shots in the box score. Maybe I am not being clear about my point. I am not saying X is ...

Shinze88

would be a shame if the difference ends up being the Nik technical.

Shinze88

why does it disgust you that someone is willing to pay 10X more to televise PC games (5MM) than they currently do to televise Xavier games (400K)? that doesnt make fiscal sense to you? :) pc has had a remora like existense since the Big East was formed 30 years ago, why should their existence in th...

Shinze88

Why wouldn't Billy D come back and play PC at the Dunk? At Yale? Probably didn't want to play URI or PC simply because he was afraid to lose... and considering his team is a perennial bubble, he probably didn't want the stain on the resume come tournament time... that's why he lose to play a low-ma...

Another puzzling loss for the CYO7 as DePaul goes down at home to Loyola (IL).. yikes..

Shinze88

BE7 is now 1-2 vs the Ivy League ..... hmmmm ??

Shinze88

Merry Christmas to all Ram fans... heres hoping 2013 in the new era of Rams basketball !!!

Shinze88

Look at overall performance over the last 5-10 years and its not close. Factor in the stroke that these schools have with media outlets and other schools; the gap widens. I still contend the best option is BE7 with the top 10 A-10 schools(proposed by someone here) is the best long term option OK, l...

Shinze88

With conference play right around the corner, its pretty interesting to see how the BE7 has performed so far in the non conference compared to the A10's non conference performance. Head to Head the A10 holds a 4-3 advantage with URI having 2 of the 3 losses, and only 1 of the 6 games being played on...

Shinze88

Agreed... classy gesture by PC, good job by the Friars to help the healing process.

Nope just about a conference that will be the demise of the A10.

BTW the Albany board is speculating that they're getting an A10 invite.

Last NCAA Appearance

Ouch...

Shinze88

Why is there something on the SEC ? ACC? B10? what did I miss?

Shinze88

I would think if Xavier were to leave the A10 it would be to move to a major conference ?

Shinze88

again, this is like winning the lottery for pc, a mid major program who can now play in a mid major conference, no longer a small fish in a big pond.

Shinze88

I dont blame pc for being ecstatic about being part of the newest non bcs mid major conference, they can continue to contribute zero to the conference and take in the revenue from the tv contract... its a perfect situation for the friars.

Brutus wrote:What a great addition Butler is going to be in the new Big East.

Yes, and when Stevens leaves for a "better conference" in a few years it will look even better.

Shinze88

What are you trying to establish here? Pomeroy, RPI, Sagarin -- you can find numbers to support any argument you want to make. Since pc and URI's last deep runs in the ncaa tournament (16 years ago) both programs have been irrelevant, its that simple. The difference is that pc's had the backing of t...

Shinze88

At the end of the day, X or Dayton would not be joining the Big East but a league where Georgetown is the marquis member. A St John's program that is ignored in NYC. A PC team that has struggled for the last decade. Hopefully, they take a step back and realize that. That argument is stupid though. ...

This horrible tragedy happened only a few towns away from where I live. As the father of a kindergardener and two other kids, I'm sickened to think there are parents who will never see their children again. A tragedy that will take a long long time to recover from as a community, to all those with c...

34 fg%, 26% 3 pt %, 46% ft... how is this team even in this game??

Shinze88

Paging Andre Malone and Nik Malesevic? Please report to the Ryan Center immediately your team needs you to show up..

Shinze88

Why teams dont just pound the ball inside on us in puzzling. Mason's half court offense is not very good, they seem to rely on jump shots and rebounds. Getting nothing from Nik and Andre so far...

Shinze88

Hopefully the COX games will be available here for us out of staters... even though I've been to 4 Rhody games this year which is 4 more than I've seen the past 5 years with Baron.

Shinze88

absolute horrendous defense on that last drive... Brooks never made an effort to stop the drive.. there is no way you can allow an uncontested layup like that.. Not sure why Seton Hall didnt continue to give Teague the ball with our frontcourt in foul trouble. They will be worse than pc in the BE.. ...

Shinze88

Buckeyes open as a 23 pt favorite. I'd like to see our guys keep this competitive and not get blown out of the gym. Ohio State is a bad matchup for us in every way.

Go Rams !!!

Shinze88

Brutal loss for pc, they will look back at this game as one that got away.. a gritty performance by pc and their fans can at least be happy of the way they competed against a better, more experienced team. UMass does not look like a team who will contend in the A10 this year, they are horribly undis...

Thx for all the pics. You could possibly link those to the full size versions. We can't have HUGE pics on the board. There's a pixel limit of 800x800 to keep things reasonable.

agreed Blue Man... the only real interest I had in the final Baron years was building up the bank account.. it was really odd how much respect URI had with Vegas toward the end of the Baron years.. the easiest money you can make. I will not touch URI this year because I want to enjoy the games as mu...

Has anyone come across a Norfolk St message board? Would be intersting to see what teams are saying about us

RI/Mass: Rams 71-68

Its Family Weekend this weekend so if anything there should be a more than normal amount of students on campus. Rhody Madness is a listed event on the weekend schedule so that should give attendance a little boost.

The womens uni's are not very nice looking, very plain, not enough Keaney blue either, and worst off there are no player names on the back of the jersey.... looks smalltime to me, I hope the mens dont follow the same style.

Shinze88

I dont understand the need for a separate board to discuss pc? Seems like there is an inferiority complex having a special board to discuss anything pc. I'm sure they dont have a separate board to discuss anything URI. just my .02

Onyekaba would be a pleasant surprise if he can get eligible.

Making the trip from CT to see the Rams get their first win of the season, hoping to take in some hoop practice as well.

Like many have said... its like a new beginning for URI hoops.. new coach, new attitube, new message board... Let the season begin !!!!
