I hate free throws with a passion. a deep seated passion

Interesting article from the AP about the Zags jumping conferences

know it is not exactly a game but it is for sure of interest.

I would add a graduate of the university to the requirements. I respect Davidson a lot for being unwilling to hang a banner for Curry, until he comes back and finishes his degree

urirx

Pulling down banners punishes the coaches, the players at the time, and the fans. The coaches and athletes who were part of the program when the transgression occurred and the fans who looked the other way in the name of a championship season. The athletes are not innocent in this particular case. T...

I'm really confused why more people didn't have us going undefeated in the prediction contest. It sounds like most everybody thinks we should blow out every team by 30. This. predictions change, but even at the start of the season, before we knew for sure it was going to be this wild ride, I didn't...

urirx

I think I'd rather be a point or two ahead or a point or two behind with a few minutes left than to be up by 6 or 8. We have to stay aggressive offensively that way. When we play slow, we stink. The people at the gym thought I was crazy yelling "keep playing, don't slow down" but we have ...

That is where I have watched a couple of games this year. works pretty well.

So when we played them the first time, EC scored 20 points. Where do you think the points come from Friday?

I have seen that the AP had the attendance for last nights game at 7657. Is this fact? If so that’s really good for a Tuesday 8:30pm start time. That (7657) is the capacity number. I saw again this morning, and heard last night 7019, which is still excellent and better than expected on this board (...

just saying the name TJ Sorrentine brings up a lot of good memories. those UVM teams were fun!

Two weekends in a row. Then there’s Rhody, steady as she goes.

Because URI doesn’t play weekend games anymore. Helps us avoid the chaos... right?

Does anybody know about what time and what channel the selection committee will be announcing their top 16? I assume cbs but if others have better knowledge it would be greatly appreciated

ESPN game day, picking uri as a protected seed, after significant segment earlier in the show. Never even dared to dream it

urirx

How can anyone have an issue with tonight's performance? Not even Hurley could come up with a single negative when asked in the presser. I am starting to get very used to winning and I am liking it very much. I feel like I am in a dream. Pinch me to remind me it is all real. In all the interviews o...

We are not St. Joseph's. We do not do the "when did they get so good" counter curse. This game is going to be tougher then many games we have played this year no question. BUT we have an experienced and deep backcourt that I would put up against any team in the country. We generally play a...

Bilas is a 1%er of College Basketball. if the school doesn't play power 5 football, it barely deserves mention, a few of the blue blood big east schools excluded. Then he goes on his rants about protecting the players, which I would argue his 1% schools do worse then the smaller D1 programs who know...

He wasn't on the watch list so I don't think he can be a finalist?

So in an effort to avoid Monday morning work, I was looking through social media. I then wondered if this URI season had a hash tag, what it would be. I mean there are the classics of #URI or #GoRhody but is there another one we should add to list. I will fully say that Andy Katz having us as 7 in h...

My god that patronizing shit that some VCU fans do, with the whole “poor naive Rhody fans, your coach is going to leave... believe us, we know,” is really freaking annoying. They are in PTSD as a fan base for having 3 coaches in 4years. Dan likes it here, and won’t run into a bad situation. if some...

Twisted, I saw on the A10 board you are about to start my favorite thread of the year "if the A10 ended today.." good luck with the effort cause other then 1,2,13,14 it gets real tough real quick!

urirx

it is crazy that on Friday we will be playing to be 4 clear for the A10 regular season championship

urirx

The A10 had a lot of crazy endings today. Glad we played on Friday and didn't have to be lumped with A10 crazy or top 25 crazy. We got to chart our own path!

Lots of time left...but St John's hanging with Duke.... up 9 with 10 to play That Shamari (sp) Ponds dude can play.... Talk about a home game for Duke. Embarrassing for the johnnies. Duke sends a lot of grads to Wall Street. This series has been mostly long standing. The arena used to be half and h...

urirx

as others have said, the A10 in general is paying the price for being the source of talented coaches all leaving within a brief window, with their talented recruiting classes going with them. I think every program in the A10, except Fordham, has some level of management that cares about moving their...

urirx

As much as URI drove me crazy these last two games, it is always a good reminder that losing in conference happens, you will have crazy results. I think the A10 narrative gets into my head a bit though as we won't get the benefit of "anything can happen in conference play"

urirx

got to give Umass credit.. they played that last free throw sequence almost perfect. rarely completed.. but was done really well

urirx

2 games in a row. need to get this figured out.

urirx

so do we defend the 3 anymore? cause I feel like every shot is a made three for them. or missed 2

The URI student senate (the group that is actually authorized to collect the student fees in question) approved a specific portion of each student fee for the ryan center specifically with the promise of no at door cost tix and 3 sides of the 100. It was widely covered in the cigar at the time, and ...

stewart mandel is now the athletic. he posted his first bracket this morning and has URI as a 7 seed facing NC state in Nashville. Auburn is the 2 seed in the pod.

urirx

Dan isn't rebuilding again, unless it is the bluest of blue bloods (Indiana like). UConn with pending sanctions gets nobody but a coach looking for a second chance (crean?). Right now just enjoying the ride, the quality, and the fun of big time college sports in Kingston.

The First PC game and the undefeated St. Joes games are the two games where I feel the building was its loudest for the full two hours (and more for both) Though when the shot went down Saturday, I feel confident we woke up a hung over kid or two in the dorms. This is my first year back on campus, b...

The Dukes active message board. They have a dead board as well (last post in spring 2017)

Baron would be the coach. Each coach aligns with their team. If we start picking and choosing coaches, then we might do an overall "best" team - which can be another poll at some point lol. then that bumps Hurley's team to #2 in my post. This did bring back the anger though, all that tale...

If they didn't kick the bonnies out for the welding certificate issue, they are not going to kick FU out for being a lifetime bad team. aAso you have the complication of being a 13 team league. do we add another weak sister (siena, LIU other??) to make it even again or which of the other 13, all of ...

Man what happened to the old Fordham Fans board? I must be out of the loop. I went to check out their page, and it looks like it fell apart Projo style. Who in the hell would be a Fordham fan? If those people did exist, who would ever post about that team? The school doesn't invest in athletics. Th...

Richmond has snuck up on VCU and Duq now. something to watch out for.

urirx

Let's not kid ourselves--we played like crap tonight. 15 turnovers against Fordham--not good at all. We played like we were ranked 44 in the AP Poll and not #24. I agree it wasn't our best game. But after the Dayton road win, and a surprising strong Duq coming into the Ryan Center Saturday this gam...

Man what happened to the old Fordham Fans board? I must be out of the loop. I went to check out their page, and it looks like it fell apart Projo style.

Thank you again ATP for all your work. Even more so as the Fordham fans took down their message board and restarted it behind a couple of walls. This place is a good place, a happy place, even when in complete meltdown mode!

Winning at the kennel is no easy task. I think they jumped too much with the win, but them the breaks. you play a highly ranked team and win on their court, you are going to get votes, especially when mixed with this week's new narrative of there are the the P5, BE, WSU,CINN, Zaga, and newly appreci...

in looking at a lot of the ballots and such that were released to this point, Nevada and URI are being linked in the "we don't care the conference they deserve to be in" thread of thought this week.
