Re: Pregame options
Greetings - Mason alum/fan here - I come in peace! I'm making my first ever trip to URI (and the entire state for that matter) with my 4 year old next week and was wondering if there was a spot near the arena for pregame meal/drinks, or if getting to the arena at 6pm and having crap concourse food ...

For the Fuchs haters that claim he doesn’t try. Archie is around this kid 24/7.
This is his quote after yesterdays game
“He’s been a consistent cog all along from an effort standpoint and on offense, defense and rebounding.”

Re: Who is Archie Miller?
There's no reason URI shouldn't be consistently competitive in the A10. If Miller can't connect with the players, student body, ticket holders, loyal fans, VIPs, etc., etc. - he is not the guy. Maybe URI's philosophy should be one of a permanent stepping stone school. Bring in younger coaching tale...

Lasalle sucks. If we can play some D and get hot, we can beat a bad team like this. But my guess is we have a fake comeback and loss. We are very predictable. Or we lose by 20.
