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...

hrstrat57

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

Good online discussion of PackLine defense.

hrstrat57

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...

Enjoy the yummy crow all you GW lovers

Yum yum

Beat down

hrstrat57

I’m really liking the effort from House on offense and moving laterally in the packline.

hrstrat57

Yeah we complain about our attendance

Yikes

hrstrat57

Ok, call me Charmin...I watched Archie's presser, and have watched most of them...fwiw, I don't think I'd want to play for the guy Saw that. Kinda risky to throw a whole team under the bus. Maybe last years crew that was inherited, but Miller recruited this bunch. Dangerous strategy methinks. If I ...

Fantastic!! We keep trying!!

Good for you congratulations - especially hitting it on a good attendance day!

hrstrat57

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...

He hasn’t been all bad to be fair. And the rams coach is always the highest paid employee. Considering his salary, he hasn't been good enough in his 2nd year. The excuses need to end. Puh-leeeze. Only about 7% of his pay comes from state funds. Janitors collect more state dollars. Yeah that’s a Fri...

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.

win.

hrstrat57

77, usually I always comment about how we played whether or not we won, but right I agree I'll take any win we can get no matter how ugly. We are who we are this season. Which is very inconsistent which comes with insufficient talent. Not going to change a lot the rest of this season. Its wait till...

hrstrat57

I recall multiple clean baseline looks (Shepherd mainly) allowed by the packline as well as multiple blown layups by LaSalle after breaking the packline. Agree with Ramster the perimeter defense forcing a lot of extra passes was greatly improved. I’m still not convinced-still a work in progress. Ove...

Maybe so….

Way too frequently we become that “cow college”

The dumb stuff we do is so dumb even a dummy knows it.

We can be better.

I actually like Gansett especially on Gano St…

I look at it as something easy to do. Quality time with our young adult daughter who played at the college level so she understands the game and is into it. And we're not fair-weather fans. And yes, gluttons for punishment! I think you are wrong RF1 On this board if we win 3 in a row (regardless of...

We don’t have a closer to take over at crunch time. Students represented - well done. If season ticket holders aren’t gonna show up behind the benches it’s time to move the students to those seats. Could have made a difference tonight. Students showed up. Looks like the old curmudgeons have in large...

Agree not optimistic re student attendance. Heading over now hoping for the best…

Should have stayed home and come to Kingston

“The negativity in this town sux”

Keaney Blue home of the woe is me few.

It’s still early days. Looking forward to Wednesday. Methinks a double beat down gets the players some serious practice facility “beat downs”

Fascinating stuff this Rhody hoops!

hrstrat57

So fun to see old school Keaney Blue negativity rule again.

Like all warm and fuzzy kinda.

That’s good I might use that one.

hrstrat57

Montgomery performance slide is one of the weirdest basketball things I’ve ever seen.

hrstrat57

Packline fail or compete fail? I can’t imagine a more miserable spot in the country than Olean after multiple snow events on a mid January night. Brutal.

Didn’t see the whole game had problems with ESPN plus last night(lucky me?)

Need to show up in Dayton….

hrstrat57

Tough gym. Snowmaggedon and big crowd.

Not ready for it. Big step backward.

hrstrat57

NYG Bill goes home

hrstrat57

Olean is a tough test always. A win there will go a long way to cementing my belief that we’ve turned the corner.

Let’s get this one!

Would Bassy have filled in like Wright did yesterday?

I’m with Archie Miller on his choice. Still early days, we’ll see.

Top tip only for forum members. If you’re in a huge que on the North Lobby side of the building quietly walk around to the South Lobby. 4 lines (one for students) got in building in 2 minutes. The line was 4 peeps wide and 100 yards long at 1:35 today at the North Lobby entrance. Shhh 🤫 You’re welco...

hrstrat57

Wondering aloud if Yorke got a talking to. He was decent today. Couple insignificant mistakes but decent.

Building pretty loud with lots of little kids. They love to scream.

hrstrat57

Rhode Island and uMass both well coached and good with full on hatred will be fantastic for the A10. It actually looks promising. Weird game with the whistle tho. Game didn’t appear contentious from upstairs, maybe there was a lot of garbage being talked on the floor. Not a single three second call ...

hrstrat57

Counted multiple times Cohen in lane 5 seconds at least. He got nothing to complain about…

Probably 5k in bldg now folks still coming in…

Suzyn in life, unfortunately all good things come to an end…

Another hit on Apponaug Brewery with more coming!

They don’t go to games in Amherst be pretty strange if they show up here….

Interesting thread

My tiny .02?

Giving exclusive billboard rights on I95 and TFGreen to Friartown is a travesty.

It’s still a bit early to make a final “fail” call on Loyola Chicago.

hrstrat57

You didn't need hindsight to say putting Miller on the hotseat in December of his second year was stupid. Hell, I'm pretty sure Blue Man called that people were going to do it ahead of time and they look even more foolish now Weren’t too many saying that. Some (including me IIRC) were questioning w...

hrstrat57

What’s the old saying? Hind-sight is 20/20? It’s still early days basketball wise. To my eyes team had a obvious talent upgrade but was struggling to digest Miller’s system. I wasn’t happy about it and I whined about it too. It’s what fans do on message boards. Heck even BlueMans cat is ok now! Stil...

hrstrat57

Good post BlueMan

It’s pretty clear the Yorke act ain’t changing. Turn down the PA. It’s ridiculous.

(As I’ve said on the forums / probably in this thread I solved it with Vibes musician ear plugs which I also use playing guitar in my dad band easy to buy on Amazon, they’re like magic)

hrstrat57

This thread could use some moderation or a time out (maybe a makeup call?)

Talk about embarrassing

hrstrat57

The hawk on the back of Zele stupid foul called on us was immediately cover by another ref with a makeup call. I have a couple friends who still officiate RIIL and D2/D3 hoops. Both are amongst the nicest high integrity guys I know. There were a lot of blown calls last night. It happens. The idea is...
