Other than when Curry was there, Davidson hasn't been significant since Fred hetzel was an AA back in the mid 60's. Why would the A-10 jump on tiny Davidson? There are no shortages of options for adding teams to the A-10. The A-10 has always been a higher profile conference than CAA, so cut the cra...

It will not be long before you will be able to watch virtually every college game on TV via the computer. Look how things have changed just in the past 2 years.

ramster

you can't keep losing every good team the conference has ever had and just have the expectation of replacing them with equivalents... don't you see what just happened to the big east? are you that out of your mind? come on peeps, nobody expects to replace Xavier, Temple, Dayton, St Louis and Butler...

ramster

Honestly though, I rather have some PC perspectives at this point, than completely bias delusional ones that we keep throwing out there. – or it is at least a draw. We go off the realistic cliff all the time and never allow criticism. People that think the A-10 is going to be better off then we are...

Pat Skerry left. How many good players came after his leaving? Yeah, Baron was wonderful. Most losses in URI basketball history. Never lost less than double figures. Never beat a top 25 team in 11 year. Four 20 loss seasons. No NCAAs. No NBA players. He inherited a program two years removed from th...

ramster

Really? Did you know how close this program was this spring to the UConn GPA penalty? Do you know about the people with criminal charges that he recruited in his last years here? Murder, rape, assault. Yeah, real choirboys. Don't come on our board and try to tell us about how great Baron was. Rod, ...

ramster

My only question would be: There seems to be talk of the A-10 being this "desirable destination." So if they lose Xavier, Butler, St. Louis, Team Y, in addition to Temple who is out and UMASS who is likely gone, is the conference really that desirable anymore? Couldn't the CAA easily just...

ramster

ramster, just as a point of order, Davidson is the South, not the Mid-Atlantic. George Mason, VCU, and Richmond could be called the South too, but I've never seen anything that doesn't include North Carolina in the South of the United States. Official word from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

ramster

So what? He inherited a loaded roster, with five transfers, including two 6'10" mobile centers and Sosa, his best shooter. What are you thinking? That any of us are lamenting Baron leaving, or are you just here busting balls? What do you think, Rod? This guy is a PC fan from the PC Message boa...

ramster

Yup, it's fantasy, a real long shot, but this team does stay in almost all games - not like they get blown out every game. For sure a long shot - no doubt. But let's look at Dayton at 3-6. They have only won 3 A10 games and all were at home against lowly Fordham, Duquesne and st joes. Should uri bea...

ramster

Must beat Dayton and Duquesne this week to get to 3-8. This puts us ahead of Duquesne,Dayton and Fordham. Then need Bonnie's, st joes or Richmond t o stumble more as they are all 4-5. We play at st joe so we can help them falter behind us. Among remaining games: Dayton Duquesne St joes Lasalle Umass...

ramster

Can we beat Dayton and then Duquesne this week and get back in the race for top 12 to Atlantic city?

Let's assume worst (best) case scenario depending on who you are for the Big East/Catholic 7 or whatever it's called: Catholic 7 1 Depaul - Midwest 2 Georgetown - Mid Atlantic 3 Marquette - Midwest 4 PC - Northeast 5 St John's - Northeast 6 Seton Hall - Northeast 7 Villanova - Northeast Plus 8 Xavie...

It isn't just the last two minutes of a game. That doesn't work ANY time for us. Exactly, BUT, the HC needs to pull the kid aside and remind him not to do it because he often does in crunch time. I was not surprised at all unfortunately. I did not see this all game but then in clutch time here we g...

ramster

I think Ramster meant at the end of the year. We were ranked a couple of times under Baron, before his annual collapses. Doesn't matter. Only matters if you finish ranked. PC in 2003 didn't end their season as a ranked team. That is right.....bill reynold's had it in today's paper. He was referring...

ramster

It's called court awareness. We don't have a PG, and haven't had one in ages, that can see the floor and pass to the open man for 3 instead of putting their head down and driving into the lane. Hurley knows that. He's probably tried umpteen times to change it, but it is what it is. Good PG's are bo...

ramster

Sean, if my decision, and URI was given an invite to thus new conference, I would take it. it helps recruiting and gets more exposure for the school. As I said, Dayton would be odd man out with all the other Midwest schools leaving so no surprise to e if Dayton leaves the A10 too. But I don't think ...

ramster

Hurley knows what he's dealing with. His best quote a few weeks ago was "You can't fix want can't be fixed". Translation - "We just don't have the players we need to win." Talk about passing the buck. You had another late second half lead. Land the freaking plane Saint Daniel. A...

ramster

Agree with the sky is falling comment by Rod. Woe is us???? The A10 will be fine- relax. So we lose Butler, St. Louis, Xavier and VCU. Butler and VCU just joined anyway. Lets us be in a more northeast, mid Atlantic oriented conference anyway. Dayton will be more of the odd man out and would likely l...

How is the driving on 138? I'm going even if chafee doesn't lift the ban by then.

ramster

I taped the game so I watched it after having been at the game as well. The announcers talked about how Treveon Graham was having his way with Nik playing him on defense. It was obvious that VCU came out in the 2nd half with that mismatch in mind as they went to Graham often with the same result, ei...

ramster

Tony Taylor. He was 6'3", a transfer 1982-85, back in Claude's day. Looked like a basketball player, but never amounted to much. There was also a forced PG under Skinner, who came from Northestern, Herb Dixon, who was around 6'4". I loved Dawan, too. Mr. Clutch! Herb Dixon tranferred in f...

Smart move by the football schools to retain the Big East Name for their conference.
Will be a goot move for UMASS to join this conference in all sports.

ramster

Welcome to the Board, I always root for PC to lose. Dave Gavitt did not allow URI to participate in the Big East when it was formed, however he did invite Boston College and Connecticut. UMASS, URI and Holy Cross were left out in the cold. Sly Williams chose URI over PC and Gavitt never got over tha...

Munford leading the A10 in FT shooting then misses 2 today - tough shooting day for all of our guys today

horrible foul by Nik - come over the back like that makes it so obvious then he acts like he didn't do it

Which came right after Bigby got a pass through right to himi at the top of the key and he fumbled it away. We can't buy a rebound in this game on the offensive boards. Ugly game.

Canty stinks and he is killing us
Hard to watch

ramster

I like the elbow to Canty's gut by Hare - notthe greatest sprotsmanship but I like the toughness in Hare on that.
We are making Canty look like an All Conference player and he stinks.
Rebounding is #1 priority for next year

ramster

That was a bs runor. I can't be worried about whether Hurley leaves or not, one day he will leave. More important is what he does now while he is here. He needs to recruit strong, turn this team completely aroound next year and fulfill the expectations that we all have of him. We have to make this U...

ramster

agreed Rod, our big weakness this year is on the boards and Holton led the A10 in Offensive Rebounding as Freshman. Billy Baron had 9 rebounds last night for Canisius playing Point Guard. Both of these guys were strong. Baron an excellent rebounder for a guard and Holton dominant on the boards. We d...

Fordham just lost to Dayton (1-3) by 45 points. Dayton's first 3 games were losses to Butler, VCU and LaSalle - not exactly an easy way to start the A10 play against those 3 teams. But a 45 point blow out???? Even without Gaston that is embarassing. If we lose to Fordham, without Gaston, that would ...

So the Big East becomes the Catholic 12. Then instead of PC fighting to be 15th in a league of 16 they can fight to be 11th instead of 12th. The A10 will survive and still be a descent league - not the end of the world as it would seem to be "the sky is falling" chicken little stuff. URI ...

Much of our problem continues to be in the rebounding department. We lost a lot with the loss of Holton who was 3rd in the A10 in Rebounding and led the A10 in Offensive Rebounding as a Freshman - nobody has stepped in to come close to filling that void. Billy also was strong and grabbed his share o...

Charlotte moves its record to 12-2 with an OT victory over UNC-Asheville, 71-63.
