Monroe has been MASSIVE off the bench i hope we dip ito luxury tax to resign him. Team badly needs his around the basket scoring and rebouding... Rozier... Over the past few months he has played like a borderline ass-star... what to do.. Tatum.... If he continue his development (hes 19) He could eas...

For all you Nate Oates fans he is basically a less tested version of clues who is 100% offense over D! Shut up with your Iona nonsense. First of all Oats has actually won a game in the tournament, Cluess hasn't. Second of all Oats' teams are significantly better on defense than Cluess. In 2015-6 it...

No insider information here but I would be surprised if Harris stayed committed to URI. Just look at their roster from last year, Josh Carlton was their leading big man at 4.4 points per game. Harris would step right in and start at UConn. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/stats/_/id...

Ofc Iona losses to top national teams. Your talking about guys at Iona who are often 4th and 5th tier recruits from the New York area vs teams full of National recruits and NBA players. It would be silly to say "Well his teams don't beat the Dukes of the World..." Of course they don't. Hur...

EGram

I also think it will be most likely Cox. Although lets all recall that we let the players saddle us with Jerry D the last time this happened. Granted that's hardly a fair comparison as Cox is a million times more qualified. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we do better with Cox going forward, ass...

Something iv'e always wanted to know is there any reason a school like URI can't just take out a short term loan to cover a big contract for a coach. Then Possibly cover the short term loss with a combination of more debt and cutting other departments? I mean I'm not going to mention any but I stron...

Hah, I donated 20.17 and my father says hes gonna donate 9717 was those were his fav years..,. he's normally a massive cheapstake so that's huge for him..

EGram

Ok now I am really rooting for that Iona upset EGram! Haha I think it's fair to say you speak for everyone here in this! Unfortunately i find myself wishing the committee switched Xavier and Duke. Or any other 2 seed would be preferable heh. I honestly think it's a terrible matchup for Iona. The on...

EGram

That's cool, i'll have to make a yahoo account as i haven't used them since i was a kid in the late 90s.

EGram

I also think Duke is about as good a matchup for Iona as they could hope.

You have a team that plays i believe nearly all Zone vs a team that wants to shoot a million threes. It's a more dangerous first round then they would have liked i imagine.

EGram

I guess the selection committee just figures Iona losing to duke is a formality as IIR potential rematches are not supposed to be in the first two rounds. As others mentioned Oklahoma is about as good as matchup as we could ask though. Our late season issues are nothing compared to Ok basically coll...

If Iona is actually a 16 seed, or even a 15 like many of these bracketologists predict i will totally put down fifty bucks each on them winning out right and beating the spread. Sure a win vs 1 seed is not likely to happen. But with the general parity this season it's not impossible to think they a...

One thing i have not seen mentioned much in this thread is that we got to give some credit to Andre Berry for doing a very solid job rebounding (5 off rebounds, 9 total), and defending. I've been ragging on him all year for often appearing uninspired in these areas. But he sure stepped up when we ne...

EGram

If we win tomorrow Jefe is deserving of most valuable player Jeff is going to have his stats explode next year.. I really hope we let most of the attack run through him the rest of the way as EC and Jared have been vulnerable to having fairly dismal stretches recently. He's a great example of a guy...

EGram

Few that game had me nervous. I think like many others i was still traumatized from attending the senior night game. Followed by the frustrations of watching them fumble the Davidson game as my power was out , using the last of my laptop batteries and cell phone for internet. However team deserves c...

I've been playing OW the past 3-4 weeks and i really enjoy it., it's free this weekend for PC, and PS4 if you haven't tried and you have access to everything in the trial or the original purchase right from the start. Only difference is cosmetics that you can earn with loot boxes you get every level...

whomever is posting these game replays is doing gods work.

Many games this year have had a familiar rhythm. Clearly, Cyril has returned to form and is our best big-man. However, Andre has more to offer as a starter than when he comes off the bench. Is Andre gaining weight? He appears slower. My eyes tell me that Jared defers to EC and takes charge in his a...

I've had a few Leg injuries in my life. The absolute worse was when i fell awkwardly and wound up causing massive nerve damage and vascular to the point Doc thought they were sure i was going to loose the leg. Interestingly although i knew something was immediately wrong it was not immediately painf...

Anyone see this as a trap game? With so much success behind us and the big showdown at ST Bonaventure a few days later. Not to mention the Crowd will be visibility smaller then usual Richmond has shown at time they can play... Hurley needs to maybe take lesion from BB and not show emotion after thes...

`Is ST joe senior night?

i bought two tickets in the 200 section for dirt cheap recently.I expect unless the team tanks between now and then it will be an easy sell out regardless.

Big game today for Alabama taking on #15 Tennessee.

Big for URI in a couple ways an Ala win pushes the closer to the tourney while also potentially knocking us up a spot in the poles.

EGram

Iona got smoked 72-50 at home by a below .500 Monmouth. They are now 15-10, tied for 3rd place (9-4) in the MAAC. They have been a bit of a disappointment to date. They still however have as good a chance as anyone to win the auto bid at the MAAC Tourney. Yeah, the other two losses in the MAC were ...

Good luck tonight! Im a Davidson alum and excited to go to the game tonight! Can anyone in here recommend things to do /places to eat in the area before the game. I'll be in there around 2 and looking for some stuff to do/ places to eat pre game Good luck tonight and I hope its a close competitive ...

With the WSU loss tonight it will be an absolute joke if any voter has them above rhody in the top 25 next week. It's already a joke they are 8 spots ahead of us with a worse record/schedule.

THat is assuming we beat VCU tomorrow.

Condolences to the Family and the La Salle community.

Both me and my sister visited that school as one of our finalists and have great respect for that institution.

It's always terrible when men die young.

I totally forgot he played in the NBA.

EGram

If you look at the defense we are playing right now Andre pretty much plays most of the first half and Cyril the second. Thing is Hurleys defensive system is very taxing on the big men as they as required to "blitz" the guards nearly every play and then get back on the man they have abando...

EGram

Any chance we if we get a 4-6 seed we play anywhere in the northeast? I mentioned a couple times i'm an Iona alum. So i was super pissed off course URI and IONA played in the same pod but in freaking Sacramento! Would be awesome if we could get in that situation again somehow IE URI get a 6 and Iona...

EGram

IMO Mobley is far more like a much better version of E.C Matthews. Both are Lefty shooting guards. Although he is stronger then Matthews and imo had a better handle. BY his senior year Mobley would often post up smaller guards and rarely had the issues with turnovers during drives that at times plag...

EGram

U-mass is awful, this is why it's going o be so hard to break to top 25 this year because we are playing teams like this, or not much better every game rest of the way out.

The announcers do a good job, does anyone know who they are?

EGram

I think we can all agree KMAC's logical foundation is at best pretty suspect. What really surprises me is people are using Kenpom as a metric to determine a teams rankings. IMO, people misuse these advance Metrics. Kenpom can be great and IMO, he helped me win my tourney pool about 5 years ago. For ...

Most people on this board have forgotten more about basketball since the season started than KMac has ever known, and even still, he knows enough that if URI played Creighton on a neutral court tomorrow and his life depended on his picking the winner, he would pick URI. Combined, these things make ...

Rumour from my Iona booster friends was that Berry was considering xfering to Iona after last season. Boy am I glad he did not. Give him a ton of credit. His D was getting us murdered with guys open under the basket in the early first half, until LAngevine came in. When he came out because of foul t...

Long Shot Prediction: If Iona wins the MAAC TIM ClUEESS takes over as headcoach at Saint Johns.

I's not like they have much to lose by giving it a try and I thin it's very possible the CLuess system actually does better vs tougher teams then weaker ones.

EGram

Lakers I now think have the worse record In the game... Imagine IF we got pick 2-5 from then in nest years draft? Bagley is getting all the press but that Guard from OKSU and the RUO both look like once in a generation type talents... Add that top Pickward + Hayward,, Maybe trade smart for Randle + ...

Alrighty, I was thinking just a single thread with a edited OP after every game. But I guess I can see how that would wind up rather unwieldy and difficult to follow.

EGram

I know that and appreciate you posting it on the first page of each GT. But it obviously still comes up anyways. Just having a general thread for it might make it easier to find/discuss for some people as occasionally we do get questions about streaming that go beyond "Look at Game Thread OP&qu...

I feel like maybe we should have someone start a general "Streaming URI Games" Thread and maybe Pin it. It's become such a big thing this year it feels like every game thread has at no less then a dozen posts related to it. That way people can simply click on that for basic streaming info....

EGram

Haha, oh man that's so sad but true about RI people! AS to the game itself, IMO the most important thing to watch will be how E.C plays. I've always felt his head/confidence was his biggest enemy. He can be the most maddeningly inconsistent URI star player I have ever seen.. Some days he just sits a...

ECR I think so! URI/the A-10 should use the lack of a major TV contract (Meaning not every game is televised on network) as a reason to provide excellent streams. To the credit of whoever is doing it this year it has been light years better then last years extremely shoddy effort. I'm sure there are...

Nice Breakdown CRAM. I have not spent much time paying attention to NA myself this year but what you say seems to align with my View that he has seemingly regressed. His one skill aside from his size is his outside shooting but it seems like he rarely sets up for spot up threes or does much with, or...
