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 ...

Um, Powell is not an "one the ball" defender. Last night, case in point. Green abused him, all night. He's shown flashes of being a good defender, and he has the foot speed to be a decent one. I think if he's not running the offense, all the other aspects of his game improve. Of course, t...

@ Gonebarongone - I don't think you play Hare and feed him shots just because. Hurley has made it clear, at least in press conferences, that Hare will get more playing time and more shots when he starts playing better in practice. Munford had the hot hand last night, and to go away from him would ju...

Ramulous wrote:Forgive my betting ignorance.....what is "sharp money" ?

I believe it refers to the money that makes the line move. i.e. If the line goes from 11 to 12, then the "smart money" was the professional gamblers gobbling up the bet when it was at 11.

I think Powell is a point guard in the way that Jason Terry is a point guard, sometimes. Ideally, I think his role is as a scorer who focuses on offense and tough on-ball defense, as opposed to trying to get everyone else going, but the current roster probably hamstrings them. Malone and Munford cle...

Yeah, Hare seems to be like more of a project big man, whereas Holton had some good skills already, but maybe didn't have the peak of Hare. Like it wouldn't have surprised me if Holton didn't improve a ton from his freshman year, which was that of a decent A-10 starter already, whereas Hare could be...

13.5 feels too high to me, but then again, URI did lose by a dozen to Norfolk State, and you figure Virginia Tech just has to be better, right? Regardless, I'd feel nervous betting the "over" for the favored team against URI, because you just know they're going to catch a couple teams by s...

I think it's tough to get on the crowd too much. I mean, the team isn't expected to be good this year, and they did lose the game. Crowds usually act rationally, so while I don't think the attendance will get as bad as it was for Baron at the end of the year, people are probably going to chose to wa...

One other stat stuck out for me. 4 guys played betweem 32-36 minutes. That's going to have to stay the same all year. We thought we had depth problems at the big positions. But, we're playing 3 different guys at the 5. That leaves only TJ and Bigby to back up the other 4 spots. Hurley actually ment...

I personally thought everything in the game flowed from the lack of height. With no consistent post option, you had to rely solely on the motion offense to get guys open for jumpers. Yeah, Malone and Munford missed some open shots, but they have just as many contested looks coming at the end of the ...

Well, I meant more in the way that sometimes, Terrence Mack was a 3 in a bigger lineup.

Aaman looks like a great energy guy off the bench, ideally probably a big 3 or an undersized 4. Shot selection is still an issue - lots of settling for jumpers. But the defensive intensity is night and day vs. Baron, despite the team being a lot smaller overall. Hare was the only guy who looked over...

I've started live blogging, but nothing real fascinating yet: http://patch.com/A-zy67

We're likely going to start a little late. Right now, clock will expire at about 7:35, so tip will probably be around 7:40.

Locking this one up, since we're now justttt about ready to start.

Here is my question for all of you, since I can't actually bet - How the heck do all of y'all do it? Like, I imagine reef can just go to a sportsbook, since if I recall correctly, he's in Vegas. How do the rest of you do it though? Do bookies still exist, or is this solely an online thing?

Live chat will be available here, starting at 6:45 - http://patch.com/A-zy67

That is a great mop on his head - that's reason enough to recruit him.

Should be a fun atmosphere tomorrow, hopefully! I will be there live blogging - I'll share the link in this thread when I make the story on Patch, and I should be able to link back to this board from the story as well. I know Gandy and a couple others would follow along last year despite the misery,...

I won't be there for the exhibition, unfortunately - I still don't have power in my place, and the restore date is Friday, so I'm assuming I'm going to have to do a lot of clean-up and restocking tomorrow. However, starting with the Norfolk State game, we should have coverage of all the home games l...

Hey guys - Reaching out to you when it comes to my day job, since I figure some of you might have info on this: http://patch.com/A-zk3X Summary version: Charlie O's got a package in the mail yesterday, and opened it to find a flag, with a postcard from alums from 1992 and 1997. The staff has turned ...

The Coast Guard House is in bad shape, but the owner has said a couple times now that he plans on rebuilding, so it should be back, hopefully by the summer.

I would rather see URI get a D1 Mens and Womens lacrosse programs going instead of Football or bump down to the NEC. I mean no disrespect to the URI Football family. Rhode Island is at a significant recruiting disadvantage to neighboring states when it comes to Football. Rhody struggles to recruit ...

I'd ask him if he ever felt any friction from his teammates, given his status as the coach's son. Did it cause him personally to work harder in practice? Speaking of that, what is / was his practice routine? And finally, what's his professional life like? I love pretty much any story about the Europ...

That's the name for my future Rhode Island softcore pornography site, TP. No stealing. Don't be a one-upper.

As big a fan as I am of Rhody history, how many people outside of Ram universe, even know who Frank Keaney was? And sons of anything is lame. Since there are 21 votes for the Keanyblue one, I guess that's it, but again, who outside of Rhode Island followsURI basketball history back 70 plus years? E...

I'm not sure if there is a prediction out there that would truly surprise me with this team. Maybe 20+ wins, but that's about it. I wouldn't put anything past this year's team because there are so many unknowns, in terms of the true talent level of the players, how little or how much the coach was g...

I think URI could take a page out of Middletown and Salve's book, and get a sort of multi-usage stadium passed. Make it the destination for southern high school sports, kind of like how Cranston Stadium hosts the football games and other events. A couple thousand seats, multi-sport field turf, and o...

Winning - and consistent winning - will cure the attendance woes.

He's a 5'10" WR, so it's going to be all about what sort of time he can post at the NFL combine or some sort of scout day. Victor Cruz made it from UMass to the NFL, so it's not unprecedented, but it's more likely that he's an undrafted free agent that tries to go from a body in a camp to an N...

On another board I frequent, they rave about Tapatalk, so I agree that it is your best option.

We had it initially so that topics that always end up popping up could be filed away so that fans who did not want to be bothered by them could easily avoid them. Yeah, this. Basically, some threads would get entirely derailed by talks of URI vs. PC, so generally, they would be spirited away to the...

Rhody Faithful or Rhody Nation makes the most sense to me, just because theoretically, something besides basketball could be good enough someday to attract a decent amount of posters. While it definitely seems unlikely now, I've been a participant in other online message boards where they sort of gr...

Many thanks to you, ATP - I've been consumed with election and work stuff, and URI has been in the back of my mind because the season doesn't start for a bit. You have definitely minded the store like a pro! It's a proud day for your family.
