Found out this afternoon that the men’s and women’s teams are scheduled to play at least two double headers this year. Can’t hurt!

neil

I think Pappy lead the team in rebounding his Senior year. A complete player.

neil

Beat Dayton!

neil

Took my family to Daytona when Jimmy and Will were on the team. Fun time with the Rams winning all three games. Games were played in a downtown arena - walking distance from hotels.
Have not done much posting but for the record, color me BLUE !
Go Rhody!!!

neil

Thanks for the memories!

neil

Don’t forget Colson. He was a great outlet passer. He would have the ball in Silk’s hands at mid court in no time.

neil

Go get ‘em Rams!

neil

Continued - from the floor which is still a ram record.
Favorite team was 91-92, Nit, fun to watch with the deepest ram team of all time. Go rhody!

neil

Really tough decision for the Senior Citizen. All the “8” teams were outstanding. If I had to pick one it would be the 87-88. Seven home games at Keaney three at the cc. All of the remaining 25 games were either on the road or neutral sites. 14 and three on the road. That year we beat gw on the road...

neil

Ramulous, see you at the fence!

neil

Welcome back Shep!

neil

Another big win! Great defense, reminded me of a couple of years ago we played Harvard on the road. Defense made every play in the second half to secure the victory. When was the last time we won two overtime games in a row? Go Rhody!

neil

Great Rhode win! Maybe a couple of seats will open in a couple of weeks!

neil

All good choices and agree with Ramster about Leslie. His numbers were good but his team attitude was horrific.

neil

In about three hours I will be standing a foot from my tv screaming for my rams. Being a ram fan ain’t easy. I started in 65 and have seen every possible situation. I attended every home game in the mid eighties where our record was 10-17, 6-22, 8 and 20, 9 and 19 in consecutive years. I could count...

Tammi - A10 coach of the year?

neil

Best of luck this afternoon! Finish strong! Go Rhody!

neil

When fatts stole the ball, for a split second I was angry because there was no one under the basket. The replay shows two rams heading for the basket. Strong chance we would have made the follow up.

neil

Frustrating- going into this year, 51 out of 53 Senior nights. Nice job by the posters on this site. How many times have you watched “the steal and the three in Pittsburgh”. I was there, it was magical. I guess I’ve watched it over a hundred times. I will be there in spirit on Tuesday. Go Rhody! And...

neil

Not only did the subs only have 3 points, but out of our 14 assists they had two. Coach puts these players in and immediately driving into double teams, playing matador defense and refusing to pass the ball. They must think that this the way to impress the coach. Selfish play. They must also think t...

neil

It is apparent that Ish is becoming a floor leader. I tried to come up with a couple of examples from the past. Please feel free to jump in. There is a picture hanging somewhere in the RC of Art Stephenson with his four other starters right after the starting lineups. His face tells you everything y...

neil

Sorry, should have put my Go get’em Ish here.

neil

Go get ‘em Ish!

neil

How about some plays to free Sheppard? Don’t let his offense disappear!

neil

Great coach! Story of when the Owls killed the rams at the dunk when Jerry D coached. He went to the ram locker room and told the players to keep their heads high and not quit. He also made a special point of congratulating Pappy on his senior night.

neil · Re: 1/30 | Dayton | 4:00PM (CBSSN) Does Marquis have any eligibility left?

Does Marquis have any eligibility left?

neil

Red, I think we lost that game by 1 or 2 points.

neil

Before the dunk in the sixties, the rams had home and homes with Fordham, St. John’s and Manhattan at Keaney. Anyone with me at the great rainout against St. John’s?

neil

Great thread! We did get Washington State and DePaul to come to Keaney but most of the quality games were in Providence. Best dunk game was when we beat the Friars 86-42. I had an usher stand next to my seat because I was giving Mullaney? to much flack. For you trivia guys, I sponsored a contest on ...

neil

Couple of thoughts about the sixties. There were 6 teams in the Yankee Conference. The 3 weakest teams were Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire with the 3 strongest were UConn, I mass and the Rams. In order to have any chance of going to the dance you had to sweep the weak teams, win your home games ag...

neil

The answer was a little easier since I was a junior in Kingston during that period of time.

neil

I’m confident that it is Claude English

neil

This game is no fun to watch when I have to scream “get rid of it”every time Carey has the ball. Play someone else please!

neil

Let’s play smart today. I can’t yet forget how we looked like a pee wee basketball team, when you weren’t allowed to press until you reached mid court. We would make it to half court and then try to dribble through three players. If this continues I might have to put a seat belt on my couch. Let’s g...

neil

Good points from Rowdy. Make foul shots, don’t turn the ball over, and make some threes. Make it happen!!!

neil

A couple of years ago Rhody lost home games to Fordham and Lasalle. The chat board went crazy. One “fan” kept repeating that the season was over. As we all know the rams won out and went to the dance. That fan basically stopped posting. 15 writes that there is no need to comment on every single loss...

neil

One more - loving the enthusiasm of the best section -205!!

neil

How about picking up a couple of 50/50 raffles in the lobby?

neil

We need two consistent halves. No moral victories. Liked the enthusiasm from the bench. It’s time to take one from the ACC. Go Rhody!

neil

Kudos to all the fans who posted over the last six months. I have not posted but have read all. Great opportunity to play teams that we probably not get a home and some. Neutral courts, should be interesting. Two easy questions- Will coach Dan be in attendance? And who will he root for? Can’t wait u...

neil

...and for the entire ram basketball family...thanks for all those post games on 138.

neil

Welcome back Warrior!

neil

Maybe the rams and eagles can play in late December (with a full roster)

neil

My dad was a student in the forties and would spend Saturday afternoons at Rodman. His dorm was East hall and his stories were amazing. I thought Kearney was a pit...no way you could compare it with Rodman. He told me his feet would hang over from the balcony. Boy, if I could go back in time.

neil

Two great games that I attended. For the last game at keaney, I held a chat board contest as to which Ram would score the last points at Kearney, with the winner going to Galilee for a fish dinner. Can’t remember who won, but Dinno Daniels scored the last point. That, plus walking into the Ryan cent...

neil

Not sure of the Holes, I guess some were before my times.

neil

How many siblings wore the Keaney blue? Help me out!
Chris and Gavin Scotti
Jimmy and Stanley Wright
Jimmy and Billy Baron

And in the future...
Hass and Malik
Makhel and Makhi

I was there also. Two additional items. I sat right behind Mrs. Harrick and watched Jim come all the way up for a congratulatory hug. Two was the GW game in the semifinals. Harrick did a great job of double teaming Yinka Dare. Every time the ball came in low Preston and Ard denied him from getting i...

neil

A great and momentous day-living outside Hartford the local channel did not carry the game. My oldest son was a junior at Brandeis, yes Rf1, Waltham, and invited me up. I really didn’t want to go figuring they would get killed. When we started the game with a dunk... After the game was over I went d...

Prove it Fatts! Turn into Kemba for the week
