For me as a basketball fan, I am ok in the general sense of our schedule. we are in a rebuilding year (not from a deep trench, but I would be happily surprised with an NCAA run this year- do think NIT is a reasonable goal). But our home games have nothing in them to make someone a new season tix hol...

That would've been disappointing. Bring on Nevada! 11:30am on a Monday morning! I like that idea. ESPN game. Try to make is really cold when they fly in too :D While tailgating with you all was fun, an empty-ish ryan center was not what we needed against valpo for the 10am (and yes I get the joke, ...

Any thoughts on the reports out of Nevada saying they aren’t coming to rhody?

urirx

So now the talk is straight from the Cox hire into we are losing players? Some neurotic posting going here. :o It is part of every coaching change. Why wouldn’t it be part of the conversation? New assistants, players moving based on who they wanted to coach them happens everywhere. So far with Adam...

Just looked down campus... there is white smoke coming from the Ryan Center...

It is such a RI in general thing.. but in hiring you always talk to the person who you are offering first to make sure they accept.. then call the others to say thanks for applying. Just in case someone says no surprisingly...

Why are some of you melting down here? You all realize how good of a spot you're in, right? Sucks to lose a coach, but all things considered, you couldn't really be in a better position for the next guy. Because we got to go most of this last year without a complete board meltdown. So we were due? ...

last week a high major coach who doesn't feel the love anymore from his administration as his program has gone a bit stale (but still makes the NCAA every year) had his agent reach out to Rhode Island. smart idea by this coach to stay ahead of the curve and possibly land at a place where he can win...

Either you trust the roles and decisions of Dooley and Thorr or you don’t. The state rules require the process we are going through, according to some recent pain I have had to endure in training. X is private Jesuit school My personal POV is Thorr is an aggressive AD who is looking to win. Getting ...

it is a subset of the outcry on moral grounds. there would be a group of professors who would ask faculty senate to pass a formal motion informing the president they disapprove of the highering and that money should go to academics, or only hire those will outstanding moral standings. the fact they ...

The idea of pitino (the wins, tweaking PC, instant brand) and the reality of pitino (messes he leaves behind, the outcry on moral grounds, professor protest) are two very different things. I have trust the current URI Admin actually gets the value of our basketball team and know stepping back to whe...

the last coaching search was much more fun. it ment hope. this one.. not nearly as exciting.

urirx

We had an AD say exactly what I would hope an AD would say at this point. We put our best offer forward, no regrets. we will continue to build the program (practice facility). We will have an open search but be done quickly (hopefully). He didn't trash the out going coach, which is important in know...

Dan did what was always expected. He did what all good URI coaches do. To URI credit, the offer that the school put forward was a high caliber. We know Dan always said there was another team in his future. The fact that it is UConn blows donkey dick, but fits a lot of the criteria if I were Dan look...

This thread is still 400 posts ahead of the boneyard thread about the Hurley situation. Excellent work team!

urirx

the UConn people are saying they upped their salary offer to over 3 mil., closer to 3.5mil, crazy amount of dollars being thrown at Dan if true.

urirx

the Pitt people switch focus to Sean in evening yesterday, based on reading their board earlier this morning.

Here is what I think is the truest tweet/story/ whatever about this process "Dan Hurley watch day. Fun. Seems Hurley is keeping this decision close to the vest. A source close to him said, "It wouldn't surprise me if he chose UConn. It wouldn't surprise me if he stayed at URI. It wouldn't ...

https://twitter.com/StonePFreeman/status/976448972507230208 Wow, big if true. If so then the question is infrastructure. Anyone remember the tweet? It's deleted It was the one that said the URI basketball office was closed today (along with the rest of the university officially) he corrected with a...

wohoo! 300 guest users visiting us here today at Keaneyblue! I don't think it is the all time high.. but it has been pretty sustained today.

Having been at the Nashville site this weekend, attending games as a neutral fan was a lot of fun, especially on sunday when I got to see 2 of the better games in the tourney so far! the Nevada comeback was crazy in person. Pre game there was an almost truce of the UC and XU fans with the idea they ...

Reading the boneyard thread is fascinating. it isn't really all the different then the thread here.. half the board up in arms with the other half the board saying chill. UConn created the mess they find themselves in with the AAC versus ACC when they tried to stop the Big East football schools from...

so... right now everybody is using the same report. amplified by the twittersphere. not saying it is not correct.. but it is 1 report

urirx · Re: 3/17 | Duke Blue Devils | 2:40PM | CBS (NCAA 2nd Rd.) go rhody! beat duke!

go rhody! beat duke!

urirx

Been having fun in Nashville conferencing and organizing a watch party. Had on a uri tag yesterday and everybody said we played great and could we please beat duke! Go Rhody!

urirx

Davidson keeping it close! down three at the under 12

urirx

The EC 3, then Fatts steal and three changed the entire game. I even felt that changed the mood at arooga. Still nervous.. but positive nervous Go Rhody!

urirx

Congrats to the Bonnies! Also Dayton did great coming out to support the conference. (the three bus loads the alumni sponsored for the trip helped as well!)

urirx

bump up

urirx

I would take the Oklahoma draw every day of the week. but they have heard how bad they are for the last 2 weeks. so major chip on their shoulder. but avoiding Duke and Cuse were my primary goal. teams committed to the zone. lets at least get past the crimson and cream and go from there! GO RHODY!

urirx

this sucks so far. go back. some traditions should be kept

urirx

I am just praying for Nashville as our site. the seed is nice, but we aren't protected so we will play through who we need to.

There are two teams at least. if Davidson wins, they get into the main field, so the last at large bye gets pushed to Dayton as well

urirx

Nothing else to say, there is us and the bubble teams versus the world today! GO RHODY!

urirx

no, because the WAC was getting one team anyway. I haven't seen any bracket where they get in without the conference win. They are highly regarded as a 1 bid conference team though. getting a lot of looks as 12 or very dangerous 13

urirx

I always thought for the champ game it was pay at the door and move to where the other URI fans were?

urirx

There are currently 2 slots for what looks like 3 teams. that goes to 1 slot if Davidson wins tomorrow (last surviving bid stealer) Louisville, ASU, and St. Mary are where the brackets are debating. the other #1 seeds(currently) in the NIT cuse, Middle tenn, and Oklahoma state (even though they have...

urirx

This PC Nova game is great fun. two advantages to watching
1) possible nova shows up in the second game in our bracket journey
2) PC can hang tough, which means we probably could as well

urirx

just like today, I don't care how the Rams get there, Just end the 40 minute regulation with 1 more point then the wildcats. #banner2

urirx

Sbu is better for uri... Davidson probably better for the league since sbu looks to be in regardless

urirx

Did anybody else see Dan truly appreciate the crowd in DC? During the post game interview

urirx

Amen rams, amen

urirx

Come n rams! We are in their heads now!!

urirx

that foul to end the half was stupid. just plan dumb and lack of basketball smarts.

urirx

better then senior night. if we get even a small lead, it will take a lot of energy out of the them

urirx

why does st joes make us look like the washington generals against the globetrotters?

will also add in my standard why cant we hit fing free throws?

at least this is better then senior night

urirx

dagger by umbc to vermont's heart. step back three ftw. vermont lost one other game since conference play started

urirx

If Dan leaves he owes uri nothing in terms of what he promised.It is the most backward of complements but at a school like uri, the highest complement you can be paid is that everybody wants your coach. I will say as much as I am getting pumped for this game in an hour, trolling uconn fans on Twitte...

urirx

I don't care how, just end the 40 minute regulation with one more point then the damn HAWKS!

urirx

I don't know if it elsewhere in this thread.. but URI is well represented in DC. strong visual blue field and can hear them

Go Rhody! Go Jeff!
