Obadiah

For the record, both URI OOC opponents, Holy Cross and Houston won big tonight - Houston over East Carolina, 74-58 and HC over Lafayette, 71-54.

Obadiah

VCU just walked all over GW, 85-55, forcing 17 GW TO's and making GW take bad shots for a poor shooting night - 2 for 16 on threes alone.

Several surprising halftime scores in the A-10. Will this continue in second half for several upsets???

Obadiah

Wednesday night action in the A-10 : GW at VCU . 6 PM. On ESPN2. Fordham at Davidson . 7 PM. Dayton at UMass . 7 PM. On CBSSN. Saint Louis at Duquesne . 7 PM. St. Bonaventure at Richmond . 7 PM. The Dayton/UMass match-up should be the most informative game of the evening. In games involving URI OOC ...

Obadiah

On the strength of excellent shooting in the second half, George Mason surged by St. Joseph's , 75-67. Just Maybe URI has to be more concerned with their upcoming visit to GMU than the one to Hagan Arena. Duke absorbed their third loss of season as they are soundly beaten at Florida State, 88-72 Als...

We are still in the intersession period for all A-10 schools. Duquesne opens its Spring term first on Jan. 12. All the other schools begin classes next Tuesday, January 17, the day after the Martin Luther King holiday, with three exceptions - URI, UMass and George Mason which all begin Spring class...

Obadiah

Unbelieving 3 point shooting - some bank shots!!!

Obadiah

Today's release of both the AP Top 25 Poll and the USA Today Poll once again finds no A-10 teams in the rankings. VCU and Dayton got votes in the AP poll. Dayton got one vote in the USA Today poll as well. Duke moved up to the #7 position in both polls. Cincinnati remained at #22 in both polls. Afte...

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind that I wanted to share my thoughts on Friday nights game. You guys are a really impressive team. Even the young guys looked very capable (10, 11). You guys have a load of talent. I understand everyone on here is upset with Jarvis Garrett, but I saw him kick our butts ...

Davidson beats Saint Louis , 77-66 the final score. Hot shooting Davidson cooled slightly in the second half as SLU hits some threes to narrow the margin to eight points late in game, but the Billikens could get no closer. Aldridge and Gibbs combined to put in 39 points for the Wildcats. Can we bea...

Obadiah

Valparaiso in a 81-74 lackluster win on their home court over 2-14 Detroit Mercy. Well, at least they showed the Catholics some mercy. Dan Quayle will be proud. Bucknell shows it is the class of the Patriot League with a solid 68-49 win over Holy Cross in Worcester as the Bisons move their league r...

Obadiah

Hot shooting Davidson held an eight point lead with 3 minutes left in first half, and then went on a 13-2 run to end the half with a 48-27 advantage over Saint Louis.

Obadiah

Hot shooting brought Richmond the win with four of their five starters in double digit scoring. The unheralded Spiders move their A-10 record to 3-0, with two of those wins notably coming on the road against good teams, Davidson and GW. They will give the Rams all they can handle in our January 25 m...

Obadiah

Richmond finally won game 77-70. After the Spiders beat up GW for most of game with a margin that got as high as 23 points in the second half, GW came to life and went on a 19-4 run. The Colonials eventually cut the margin to four on a Jaren Sina 3-pointer with 30 seconds left, but the late game he...

Obadiah

While it is still early in second half, you have to be impressed with the pounding Richmond is applying to GW on the Colonials' home court.

Obadiah

OK, Sunday games complete week #9 and in the A-10 ,there two games of interest: Richmond at GW . 12 noon. On NBCSN. This game will give another info point as which of these two will be the more formidable opponent for URI. GW is a home game while the Richmond game is away. Last year we easily beat R...

Obadiah

Unlike the URI experience at Houston, Cincinnati took control of this game from the onset and kept their boot on the Cougars' throat and never let up to take the win, 67-58.

Obadiah

La Salle beat Duquesne , 88-81. The game was close in the first half and the Explorers began to pull away in the second with the Dukes shaving the big margin to five before folding. These are two of the worst drawing teams in the A-10 and given storm conditions in Philly, a crowd under 2000 is like...

Obadiah

Today's results so far: In the A-10 : VCU beat up a young UMass team, 81-64. VCU put in their threes, UMass did not. The game was close most of the first half, but VCU opened up at big lead half way though second and cruised to the win. VCU out rebounded UMass, 45-32. UMass' Rashaan Holloway is beco...

Obadiah

Saturday action in the A-10 UMass at VCU . 1 PM. On NBCSN. A road win by UMass will reverse their plunging fortunes. Saint Joseph's at Fordham . 3 PM. On NBCSN. How the Hawks respond following their last game beat down by URI will be interesting. George Mason at St. Bonaventure . 5 PM. On NBCSN. Duq...

Obadiah

We lost this game because Dayton came out of halftime with more hustle and ball control than us. Dayton clogged up the passing lanes and that led to their 9 steals, part of the mess that was URI's 18 TO's. Allowing Dayton to get 32 points in the paint was the other killer. Dayton also had more fast ...

Obadiah

With the loss to Dayton, URI's fifth loss of season, 860_rhody and Rhody Guy in the 26-4 cluster are officially eliminated. All others in that cluster were previously eliminated because their OOC record did not match up.

There is only one game of real interest tonight and that game is on ESPN2 at 7 PM.

But for the record......

Rider is at Marist. 7 PM. On ESPN3

Oakland at Valparaiso, 9 PM. On ESPN2

Obadiah

The Station fire occurred in February, 2003. The Pitt game was played in December, 2002 in the first year of the Ryan center and the no standees rule went into effect after that tragedy. Specifically when that happened is the question because the UMass game in March, 2003, a month after the Fire, dr...

Obadiah

This is a great thread on game. ramster says the Dayton board is active, but other than the mindless prediction thread - sort of a "coloring by numbers" thread, there is not much insight or thoughts about the game or either team. Is Cooke available to play?

Obadiah

Are you referring to SRO or sellouts?

Obadiah

In games involving URI OOC opponents:

Belmont in a romp over UT-Martin, 83-67.

Wiliam & Mary edges Elon, 88-85.

Holy Cross over Colgate, 67-61.

In an overtime tilt, Marshall pulls out a win over Old Dominion, 90-86.

Obadiah

Hot shooting by GW, 61% on 3-pointers, offsets 17 GW turnovers to give the Colonials a 73-69 win over Davidson. Closely contested game all the way, though GW led most of the time.

Obadiah

Original capacity was at 7,000 and it was increased slightly to the current level. The record attendance is the Pitt game when 500 standees were allowed as was the case with Kearney. But after The Station fire, standees are no longer allowed.

Obadiah

Only one A-10 game scheduled for Thursday:

Davidson at GW. 7 PM. On ESPNU.

In games involving URI OOC opponents:

UT- Martin at Belmont. 7n PM.

Holy Cross at Colgate. 7 PM.

Old Dominion at Marshall. 7 PM.

Elon at William & Mary. 7 PM.

Wednesday night results in the A-10 : VCU beat back Duquesne , 94-87. This was a close game for the first 25 minutes. The Dukes actually grabbed a two point lead for a bit, but then VCU took control and built a 18 point margin with a minute and a half remaining, before the Dukes were able to whittle...

Obadiah

You're a tough guy to please ramster. Here is a summary of attendance for both the season openers and A-10 openers. I've even provided the URI record for that specific year. Lots of factors go into attendance, so draw your own conclusions from this, but remember we are trying to build a program wher...

Dayton beats St. Bonaventure , 90-74. Dayton hit 3-pointers at a 61% clip putting in 14 shots.

Other games of interest: BC led at the half, but a big second half surge...

The Saint Joseph's game drew 3,880 fans, one of the worst attended A-10 openers ever, rivaling the attendance in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. But team record was 7-23 and 8-21 in those years. What's the excuse now. This makes the third straight game below 4,000. It is now apparent that without t...

Today's release of both the AP Top 25 Poll and the USA Today Poll once again finds no A-10 teams in the rankings. VCU was only A-10 school to get any votes, 2 in the AP poll. With the loss to Virginia Tech, Duke fell to the #8 position in both polls. Cincinnati moves up one slot to #22 in both polls...

Some final comments on the SLU game. Very impressed with Chaifetz Arena. Unlike Kingston and it's high water table, Chaifetz is partially below grade which means lower exterior costs and those savings can put into other amenities like a two court practice gym which can be viewed from the spacious lo...

Obadiah

Not much to add to what has already been said about game. While SLU isn't a top tier team, a win on the road and by this margin is significant. The Rams' swarming defense was terrific and apart from four treys by Elliott Welmer and some Aaron Hines lane acrobatics, the SLU offense was stifled. This ...

No micro beers Goose Island. The crowd is heading for the exits.

Looking good other than some bad foul shooting and a few defensive lapses. JT not having a great game.

Obadiah

Crowd is between 5500-6500. A bit tepid so far. Now more like 7500

Obadiah

Foul shooting continues to be bad.
