URI played 3 guards often with Powell, TJ and Billy in the game at the same time. Sometimes then Mckoy came in for one of them. Somtimes McKoy brought the ball up the court. Ok now I'm convinced you were watching a different team last year. McKoy brought the ball up the court? What was that like tw...

adam914

Thomas is the matchup we won't remotely have an answer for. He's strong, and quick. Is Nik going to guard him? Malone? Craft without TJ is a tough one, too. Definitely Rod. I just have visions of Powell leaving Craft wide open for at least a few 3's. I hope I am wrong. Thomas is going to be an abso...

adam914

Should be real interesting to see what Hare looks like inside today. He has a couple inches on most of the low post players for Ohio State, but is outweighed by 20-40 pounds. May not be pretty. Somebody has to stop Craft from getting open beyond the arc as well. And I dont know who is going to be ab...

adam914

Ace, I think it totally just depends on how many years he will have. If this year is a lost year of eligibility either way, then yeah for sure having him this year would be great. But if he can sit out this year and then still have 4 years to play here, then I think sitting out this year is fine. If...

adam914

Probably wont be out most places until later tonight or tomorrow morning. College hoops lines dont usually get released way ahead of time.

adam914

If he ends up sitting out but still has 4 years left that would be fantastic. If that is the case then maybe it ends up being a blessing in disguise. I want to win as many games as possible this year obviously, but I doubt he'd come in and bring us a whole bunch more wins.

adam914

Two of Reischel's teamates on last year's Rice team have received waivers to play this year. Both occured in the last week.......Did URI apply for a hardship waiver? Who knows if URI even wants the waiver? Or reischel, really. You only get four years of play. Why not take this season that isn't goi...

adam914

The next ND fan I meet that went to ND and/or is from Indiana will be the first. It's the biggest bandwagon sports program in the country, collegiate or otherwise. With that territory comes plenty of yahoos. This isn't about the team (at least my response wasn't), but about the fan base. Not to tur...

adam914

I don't really see this as close at all. UMass is our brother school, the fellow state school from our neighboring state. PC is quite possibly the most intolerable collection of people ever assembled. And yes, I have good friends and family members that are PC alums. They're intolerable too, at lea...

adam914

Yeah I hate them both equally, and its more than I hate any other college hoops program by far.

Amazing!

He must have been busy copy and pasting press releases for his next story.

Anybody notice a striking similarity between the Rhody press release and the stories "written" by Cordischi and McNamara for golocalprov and the projo? I'll give you a hint, they are word for word exactly the same. Is that normal? I get that things like quotes from Hurley arent going to ch...

That is correct

The weird thing is that the year in residence term usually only applies to transfers.

adam914

And I guess that answers our question about getting this news officially right away or having to wait weeks to hear about it. Such a refreshing change.

adam914

I never said Baronball once. I have no opinion on Hurley as a tactician (yet) only an opinion on what I saw during the first two games. This is a message board, right? I don't like what I saw. Simple as that. I didn't like the ball movement and I think Munford taking 20 shots per game is a detrimen...

adam914

Disagree with the Wizard of Rod and you must be a troll! Sorry. Just going to hold off on my opinion of him as a coach, developer of talent, and a game planner until I see more. Terrible, I know. Actually, if you were really just holding off on your opinion until you see more I'm not sure anyone wo...

adam914

Man those unis are so nice!

adam914

This is fantastic.

adam914

Thanks, Rod. I kind of get both sides of the "winning to get fans back" argument. I do think thats true when it comes to the casual fan, who may not realize exactly what a big get it was for Thorr to bring in Hurley and what it could mean for the long term prospects of the program, even af...

adam914

Good point Dude. Also, as one of the announcers noted last night, its hard to get many assists when your team is shooting 28% and making about 15 FG's. The assist obviously only counts when your teammates make the shot. The low turnovers is a good sign so far for sure.

adam914

Ah its great to have the season back in full swing and the bickering back and forth. Remember during the off season when we all loved each other? Now we got the old Rod back!!

(and I say that with respect Rod, I agree with you on this one)

adam914

And not to pile on here, but to say that he shouldnt be taking that many shots because he wont be here in two years makes no sense to me. What's the alternative? Are you looking for some more three pointers from Aaman and Hare?

adam914

I wonder if LOI announcements from the Athletic Dept will continue to be delayed by a week or so like in recent years past, or if they will make every effort to expedite the process so they can announce their signings to a national college basketball audience via the Internet. I wonder if although ...

adam914

PS. Malesevic will score and get his shots. He just had a night of bad matchups with VATech. We need a third guy. I thought it would be Malone. So far, hardly. Remember when posters were saying he'd hands down be the best player on last years team when he became eligible? I agree here. They were at...

Hurt the same foot again. COuldnt put much weight on it. Didnt look good.

Munford does look so much better tonight. I was worried after the last game.

adam914

Man Green is killing us right now...

adam914

And already we see the difference between last year and this year. Last year we would have given up and been down 20. This year we fight and are down 4.

adam914

Didnt look good for Buchanon, thats a shame. Munford does look much better so far tonight offensively.

adam914

We'll have two new ones next season, Minnis and Matthews.

adam914

13-6 at the under 12 timeout. Weathered the early storm a little there and have a chance to stay in the game now. Aaman playing hard once again...really like this kid so far. Nothing pretty, but gets the job done.

adam914

9-0 start for Va Tech. Not a good start...

Figured I would start this up. Game is on now on ESPN3. Loving the new road uniforms!

The idea that Shengalia would help with anything at all is flat out laughable.

adam914

Thanks for posting those videos. Hare must really be struggling in practice. Every time his name is brought up Hurley talks about that.

adam914

Yeah don't think we'll be seeing that again, on the east coast at least. Maybe out here in San Diego again, but even that one got postponed from tonight to Sunday. Only difference there was that they did it a few days ago and it didnt affect the rest of the teams schedule at all.

Would have been nice to get something from Hare.

Nik was fun!

You make a solid point.

adam914

Pretty disappointing finish. There were some glimpses of potential there, but the offensive side of the ball is going to be a struggle all year. Nik played really well, of course he did still manage to get a tech, and I'm willing to bet it won't be his last. Munford and Malone couldn't hit anything,...

adam914

In a tough spot now, down 6 with just under 4 minutes to go. Big free throws coming up for Nik here.

adam914

Yeah for sure, losing Nik would be an absolute disaster. He already looks like a very different player this year. The key will be consistency, and playing this way even when maybe things aren't going our way.

adam914

Rough start to the second half, lots of standing around and the defensive intensity is gone. Good timeout by Hurley, need to turn it back on here or we're going to get buried.

adam914

All things considered, have to be pretty pleased with the first half. Effort is definitely there. Scoring won't always be easy, but between Nik, Malone and Munford we will hopefully have somebody on any given night.

adam914

Hare definitely is going to be a bit of a project, but he had a big hand in those two 3's by Nik. One keeping the ball alive on the offensive glass and then the other by altering a shot on the defensive end that led to the break.

adam914

Offense definitely hard to come by early on.
