Packline explained
If you’re interested in understanding Archie Miller and current URI hoops here’s a good piece on the packline defense. Since Rhode Island MBB will succeed or fail based on how well this defense is played I deemed it worthy of a dedicated thread. I’ll be interested in the comments of KB forum members...

The packline guards everyone what are we talking about? Have we got intel that Miller is preparing a new defense to cover Cross?

Re: 2/6 | George Washington | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Rim protection is paramount for the packline as is the elite ball pressure applied last night by House. Brown is our best inside defender IMHO. Last night was the best performance by the packline especially after the first 5 minutes of the game. Looking forward to seeing how the group performs in Am...

Re: Where Are They Now? Former Player Results and News
I’m sticking with Miller for now on talent evaluation especially in ball handling. Got nothing against Bassy. Good luck to him. He’s dropped down to a level that enables him to start. Miller would have him buried deep on the bench and likely told him so. I turned on my TV the other night to see Leg...

Re: 2/3 | Duquesne | 12:30PM (USA)
Kortright and Montgomery final look healthy. Cool off Clark, clean up poor rebounding and make few shots and we’ll be ok. Miller seems to be struggling a bit today distributing the minutes.
What’s up with all the season ticket no shows in S104?
Good turnout otherwise - let’s not lay a 2nd half egg.
