78, since we have zero impact, sports is all about 'hope', so I agree with you there. And, I 'hope' Dan's so focused on this year that he isn't thinking about next year. No more 'concrete reason' for hope next year than this year...guys could leave, get hurt, underperform, etc. Gotta play with the h...

NYGFan_Section208

LOL...78, Were you saying 'next year is the year' last December? Will you be saying the same thing next December?

College hoops is a year at a time thing...that's why championships are won, not 'defended.'

NYGFan_Section208

DH is running the wrong offense for a team with little inside and such poor foul shooters among the inside players. 4M can be stopped but a defense must commit to stopping him and this opens the court for others. 4M would have had an exceptional year statistically if EC was on the court with him. I...

NYGFan_Section208

Joe, nice thought but we have to have our bigs healthy to have any chance. Berry was a nice surprise against Brown, but how many minutes can he realistically give us? 10? Will Four go for 33 against any A10 teams? Not likely. Everybody has to step up. Terrell simply has to play better, he's a diffe...

NYGFan_Section208

Just a couple of times(or once)while on my back nine, can I see a serviceable big man that gives some off the bench, quality minutes, has some low post footwork, drop step, strong to the hoop, defends post, get a few boards, makes some free throws...in Keaney Blue?....is that really asking to much?...

NYGFan_Section208

Exactly. And, regardless of crowd size, those of us that are there will be cheering our lungs out for the home team. GO RHODY!!!

NYGFan_Section208

Never give up the ship until it's over! Brooklyn and beyond!

NYGFan_Section208

I agree on Berry. I thought watching his film from JC that he had good hands and feet. Needs some work to be a good player still, but his body was the biggest thing and he's improved that already. I'm hopeful that he ends up being a solid contributor for us. Great hands. ... and feet when under the...

I don't see why that 13 is any more certain for next year than it was for this year. Did anyone know, in December 2014 that, there would only be 10 scholarship players in December 2015? I'm thinking focus on this year's great story and think about next year when it comes...it's a long way away and t...

NYGFan_Section208

I will agree with one thing you said 72. Garrett and Terrell are better playing a faster paced game. When Hassan and KI come back, we need to try to force the pace more. I think we will finally see more of that type of game next season, with a full roster . The experience that Berry and the freshme...

NYGFan_Section208

My thinking is that we get credit for a road win with the majority of the crowd on our side. I have been to Brown where we always shout down their fans, at Boston College where it does not take much to shout down their fans, at Northeastern where they have no fans, and the Dump where we are as loud...

Garrett is tied for 30th in the league in points per game, 24th in the league in free throw percentage, tied for 6th in assists per game, somewhere around 6th in assist to turnover ratio, and 29th in steals per game. He's a valuable and well rounded player. As a sophomore, with room to grow. So whe...

RF1, and there were most likely Rhody fans there that WON'T drive to Kingston very often. I tend to doubt that. With the way this season has progressed, I would be willing to bet that only real die-hards were there that night. These would be the people that typically go to Ryan Center games. I doub...

NYGFan_Section208

10-8 or 11-7. Same feeling as RF1. Could be a little better [or worse] depending on when Hassan and KI return. We won last night, but almost every A10 team is better than Brown...... But hopefully...they won't need to rely on just 7 players every game. A comeback like that should help with confiden...

14-4. I really liked the way they mixed up the defensive calls all night.

NYGFan_Section208

What a game. For the first 25 minutes, the worst defense I've seen us play under Hurley. Something clicked after they got 15 down.

Kenny ,yes scholarships are given/renewed annually and a players personal life is a factor. Remember CFL's "the kids are really working hard hitting into the books"? Rhody men's hoops leads NCAA in library and day care hours.

Does that count towards 'resume-building'?

I do get it...but the margin is so very slim that it seems predicting future depth (from December to next November), in college, is risky at best. Not sure why next year's '13' is any more certain than this year's '12' (plus Robinson)? And, like TBR said...is the addition of 4 freshman a major depth...

Crazy...10? Since before the season started?
Or, did something happen to cut it down from an expected higher number? (Thanks for the education)

NYGFan_Section208

NO. Absolutely not the depth was as expected. I would expect the depth of a team to continue winning and overcome the strengths of what was lost. If you can't overcome the loss of your number one player, you have no depth. But...did we expect to be able to overcome the loss of the number one player...

NYGFan_Section208

NYGFan_Section208

Run fewer plays, and run them in practice until the cows come home. That way they get good at them. Some teams do that, and it works well. Somehow the "standing around" offense never seems to work, especially at the end of games. Speaking of which, when's the last time we had a coach who ...

Next year, we should actually have a full 13 player team of scholarship players. Depth in every position. Something that hasn't happened in a while......
