Yes, we still could make the NIT or even get hot and run the table in NY even with a loss tonight. But I like our chances a lot better if we were to win tonight. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. I am surprised people are worried about an NIT berth at this point. If you check out ...

I think at this point we could win every game until the A10 championship and we still wouldn't get an at-large.[/quote] obviously I don't see us running the table until the A10 championship but hypothetically if they did they would be in. 25-7 A10 regular season champ, A10 tourney runner up, 9-1 in ...

URI hasn't exactly looked like world beaters on the road in conference play W by 12 at Saint Louis W by 1 at Duquesne L by 4 at UMass W by 1 at Fordham W by 5 at Richmond outside of SLU they have all been tight And if I remember correctly I think we were basically even with St. Louis with about 6 m...

You have to HATE laying points at St. Joes. Sticking to my method of not touching any Rhody games this year haha. Can't lose my mind AND my money! that is why you bet against them. I'm 2- 0 this year doing that. -6 in the st. Bonaventure game and -9 in the Fordham game. Luckily URI won them both de...

Very off topic, but the Dayton game is on CBSSports, which isn't in HD and is just horrible, horrible quality. Let's home it somehow get switched to a better network! Channel 594 on Verizon….in HD. Unfortunately Cox doesn't have CBSSports in HD. Also the semis in Brooklyn are slated for CBSSPORTS too

Yep and at the end the one guy said EC was a great FT shooter right before missing two in a row. Sounded like mike and tommy with the reverse jinx

I couldn't watch the game and was going to watch the recording in its entirety without checking scores anywhere. I have zero impulse control. I checked the final score. And then the box score. I have no idea what happened, but I like it!! I envy you. that was painful to watch but all that matters i...

I think IF we win the regular season, we go NCAA, with any kind of showing in Brooklyn. Lot of work ahead, though, before we can see the dream become reality. Barring a Baronesque collapse this team is going to the NIT. 5-4 the rest of the way would put us at 20-9, then say win one game in Brooklyn...

3 is what I guessed. I think home team usually gets about 4 so seems about right. Now if EC doesn't play then it should be adjusted.

I think we will see a good student turnout. If not I will be really dissapointed. 4pm on saturday is prime time to start drinking for a college student. Bring in a coke mixed with rum and GET LOUD

jmck

I am bringing 8 people with me from Cumberland. 6 of them are casual URI fans. Only reason why I was able to convince them to come was because of the 4pm Saturday start time. We will be properly hydrated

jmck

we might have given away the UMASS and VCU games but we straight up stole the Duquesne and Fordham games so I guess it evens out.

jmck

Sunday at 2 is not a great time for students. Most are hungover and I think alot also are catching up on work they haven't done since Wednesday night. I think if we had 6 o'clock Saturday weekend games we would see a much better student turnout. I expect the GW game to have more students and better ...

That was a monster block on that three by Martin and a heads up play by Garret to tap the ball forward.

All I know is that if I was the person in charge of the balls and I heard an over the air interview where Tom Brady said that he likes a slightly deflated ball, I would take a little air out of the ball without Brady even talking to me.

07-08 and 09-10. Usually you refer to the year the season started. (Like Patriots won 01, 03 and 04, not 02, 04, and 05). They do that in football because that's the year of the regular season and therefore the majority of the entire season. Basketball is traditionally referred to as the year of th...

Bruins are 25-16-6 and have been to the playoffs every year since their Stanley Cup winner.They went to the finals two years ago and the semi-finals last year. FAR better than the Celtics. The only oldie is Chara. Like I said, the Celtics are a few years ahead of the Bruins. About three if I am rem...

Looking at the remaining schedule I see URI being favored in almost all of them. Obviously at Dayton they will be an underdog and at LaSalle and at Richmond will be essentially pickems. Obviously I don't think we will win all of the games we are favored in but if I had to guess I'd say 12-6 which is...

I was there, center court, but very top row. I bought the last URI NCAA t-shirt. The vendor said he was sold out and I had to talk him into selling me the one he had on display. Still hate Danny Ferry and Duke to this day.

Nothing this past week tells me they could 11-2 the rest of the way but if they do that then they can get an at large.

O'Shea said that he would rather play UConn for $80,000 than us for $40,000. I say give them the guarantee of 40 large plus a thousand tickets to sell at $20 dollars a pop that they can keep.

Good second half. Now if we take care of business against Santa Clara then we most likely get another shot at a power conference with Marquette or Georgia Tech

How did any team not named Kentucky receive first place votes? Big difference for Rhody between the AP at 32 and the Coaches' poll at 49. I guess coaches don't respect us as much as the press? That's a switch. As good as UK is, Duke is pretty damn good. Everybody talks about UK having 9 mcdonalds a...

That was by far the best crowd i have ever seen at the Ryan Center, especially the students. It was already loud when we got in at about 6:20. maybe a lot of the fans will come back to the next game just to see if they can have the same fun. I thought the officiating was as usual, give the opponent...

As an aside, I listened to the game while driving my daughter around the state to her soccer matches, and really enjoyed Paul Fuller (of Paul and Al fame on 94HJY). From Warwick to North Smithfield and back to Coventry the game and post game show came in clear. Much better than the Cox audio when I ...

That Xavier game might have been the loudest I've ever heard the place when Will Daniels hit a 3 in the 2nd half to put URI in the lead after trailing the entire game. The best atmosphere ever for a game there, though, was the St. Joseph's game when Vitale was there in 2004. The Providence game in ...

I've always thought that we would see a bigger student turnout if we played at 7 on Saturdays instead of the usual 2. Let's see if that holds true.

Danny Nee coached Duquense for a couple seasons. One game that sticks out in my mind, Rhody took the lead on a Howie Smith basket at the end. Nee set up the play where the player covering the in bounds runs into a pick. Marcel Momplasir ran over some Dukie and the ref swallowed the whistle. Nee and ...
