NBC10's reporter was reporting from the Holiday Inn in South Kingston and saying the hotel had lost power, which happens to be the hotel where the Bonnies are staying. The hotel is currently working off generators after losing power for some time. Still not every room has heat or power tonight.

I still think there is positive room for growth on the coaching learning curve. I think he'll manag...

STC

I voted it exceeded my expectations, I mean what were you really expecting?

STC

At this point I just want to see Munford, Malone, Malesevic launch 3 balls for the rest of the game. Just run 'em off screens keep gunning.

Absolutely correct, and that wide open 3 pointer he took was horrendous!

He reminds me of how I think I would play out on the floor, confused and just trying to stay out of everybody's way.

Woke up early to watch Robert Nkemdiche choose URI over Ole Miss, LSU, Bama, Florida.... Or maybe I was still dreaming.

STC

Love it! The athletics marketing at URI is top notch. I wanna win those courtside season tix!!!

STC

Hey Mods, since this topic has totally sidetracked to talking sbout selling beer to the general public, can we get a poll setup for people to vote on?

STC

As a URI fan why would you not want booze sold at the Ryan Center? -Students might actually show up for a game! (Is anyone shocked a crappy team and gimmicks aren't getting there asses in the seats?). Coach Hurley gave me a slice of pizza at the library and now I feel compelled to go to a game, PUH-...

STC

How about we ditch the stupid gimmicks and just sell beer?

STC

It may actually be the loudest ovation of the game.

ESPNBoston.com felt compelled enough to type up a brief write-up on 2013 URI commit Kelly Dobbins, so I figured I'd post it here. http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/high-school/post/_/id/21912/putnams-kelly-dobbins-commits-to-rhody - 6'1 - Will play Safety for URI - Had offers from Villanova, Albany, Ne...

Thanks for the link, Go Rhody.

Random note, Andre Malone played for a different head coach in each of his 4 years in college.

2009-10 : Jeff Lebo
2010-11 : Tony Barbee
2011-12 : Jim Baron
2012-13 : Dan Hurley

STC

Baron's team has already gone in the crapper, he's not even waiting til February this year. 8-2 start followed up by a 5-5 stretch. At least the golden boy Billy is getting his shots.

I don't think anyone misses that bum Jim Baron. Good riddance.

STC

I saw the interview as well and I also know nothing about soccer but Elliott certainly talked the talk. I know the jury is still out on Thorr's recent hires but I've been impressed with Michael Needham, Dan Hurley and now Gareth Elliott. I've been down on Thorr in the past but as it stands now I lik...

STC

There was one instance last night where URI received a 5 second call out of a time out. Needless to say Hurley blew a gasket and mouthing 'you gotta be fucking kidding me to Nik' on tv.

STC

42-19 Miami at the half, Miami shooting 59% to Duke's 18%.

Love it, I don't think there is a college basketball team I dislike more than Duke.

STC

Garino for GW looks like a Freshmen who will a key player for them over the next 3+ years.

Munford is an absolute beast. Such a pure scorer, he can put the ball in the hoop from anywhere on the court.

STC

I've got the Duke-UMiami game on in the background while streaming Rhody and #1 Duke is getting smacked... The U is up 35-15 with 3 mins left in first half.

The U on a 25-1 run.

STC

Look, if URI athletics want students to go to games, here are the 3 things that they should and probably won't do... 1. WIN! (Will happen, thank god for Hurley) 2. Sell booze at the Ryan Center . (Won't happen, but aren't their NCAA bylaws preventing this from happening? Someone let me know.) 3. Sec...

STC

I thought they didn't give A+ at URI, but I certainly could be mistaken. I didn't sniff an A+ in my four years of academic "excellence" so I wouldn't know. Hurley deserves and A+. I think they fade due to the lack of depth, that bench is so short. Looking at some of the minutes played in t...

STC

The fact that this team is 6-10 given last years 7-24 debacle is a minor miracle. Hurley is a star coach in the making, bottomline. Then you also take into consideration losing the 3 best players off last years shitty team (Holton, Outerbridge, Baron) and this team should be one of the worst in D1. ...

STC

Holy shit, what a job by Tim O'Shea! Bryant is 12-4 and 5-0 in the NEC!!!

I'm certainly pulling for O'Shea and this Bryant team.

STC

Ugh what a country where Baron can walk away with 1.1 mil. I know he signed a contract and URI must live up to it but I can't help but wonder where this program would be if they had made a better head coaching hire back in the day. Hurley has inherited a really beaten down program and fanbase but I ...

STC

Good for EC and Onyekaba, the recruiting Hurley is doing is tremendous. The difference between Hurley and Baron on the recruiting trail is night and day and makes you really appreciate what a rising star Hurley is as a D1 coach. You look at the recruits Hurley has brought and you can't help but thin...

STC

Dai-Jon Parker, former ESPN top 100 Baron recruit having a solid game on ESPNU.

Funny how Baron couldn't close the deal in February or with big time recruits.

Thank goodness for Hurley!!! Hope he never leaves!

Parker so far has 12 pts 3rbs 3 asts 1 stl

STC

Baron is such a joke.

I think UMass, like Charlotte, is a total fraud. UMass will fade come February/March, just take a look at that schedule... http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/113/massachusetts-minutemen St. Joes, VCU, Temple, Dayton, Xavier, Butler all in Feb/March, not to mention they will choke o...

STC

Damn. The officials blew that one.

STC

Total dream here, but I would love to see Rhody play Oregon or Alabama.

Oregon could drop 100 on URI... if they wanted to.

Forget scoring on Alabama, would we even cross the 50 yard line?

STC

One thing is for sure, Richmond's announcers are A LOT better than Saint Mary's.

Love the intensity URI is bringing tonight.

That would be a real nice payday. I've said it before and I'll say it again if were going to go 0-10 every year we might as well whore the program out to BCS schools for a nice payday.

STC

I like the analysts they have, mostly fired coaches who break down the game pretty well You know who is good as an analyst and I would have never guessed it is Eric Mangini. But yeah, i long for the days of Sportscenter where they actually showed highlights. It's kind of like MTV when they used to ...

STC

How bout that URI defense!?!?! Tremendous!

STC

Agree with others sentiments, PC should beat this current edition of the BC Eagles. Donahue hire is a disaster, Skinner should have never been fired.

I saw Ricky Ledo at the Prov Place Mall an hour ago. If PC can get him eligible for next year that would be a huge plus for them.

STC

I have no idea how a URI fan couldn't be atleast a bit concerned about Rice on the hot seat at RU... Rutgers will be a very attractive job, and I'm sure Hurley will be looking to get out of a depleted A-10 conference ASAP. Talk about delusional...... Not so veiled attempt at trolling eh Diablo? As ...

STC

Unreal that a-hole Baron is off to an 8-2 start. Just have to keep reminding myself it isn't February yet. It will be nice to watch Baron piss away a good start for a team other than Rhody this year. How about those fraudulent soon to be 11-1 Charlotte 49ers. Giving powerhouse Radford a beat down. R...

STC

@EZbuckets I do apologize, my comments were unnecessary and not well thought out. It's a tough gig trying to pump up the crowd given the current status of the program. Certainly I could never get out there and it is certainly a tough spot when the crowd is so sparse. Keep up the good work and don't ...

STC

Gotta love Brad Stevens and Butler.

The A-10 is so deep these days, I really hope that rumored 20 team A10 becomes a reality. Would love to see URI and PC in the same conference as well as in one of the elite basketball conferences.

Charlotte and their 9-1 record is a total fraud.

Did anyone actually spot him? Milan, Blue Ram and I didn't see him. At least we think we didn't. Yep, I spotted him at halftime when I was shopping in the Ram Zone. He browsed but didnt buy anything. I wanted to go up to him and tell him how pumped I was for him and the future, but I thought better...

STC

So I went to the game today and here is my take... On the court: -Great team win today, Malone was great from 3 point land. Best shooting performance by the entire team today and a definite confidence booster going forward. -I gotta say it was pretty cool seeing Larry Brown coach against URI today a...

Not sure if this has been posted, if so feel free to lock but here it is. Rhody comes in at #15. 15. Rhode Island. For as bad as Rhode Island is supposed to -- OK, is going to -- be, you have to tip your cap for its work in the three games before Thursday's 72-57 loss at Providence. The Rams beat Au...

I dont think anyone is surprised by this, even Billy's biggest detractors. An ACC caliber player playing in the MAAC. Baron should be filling up the stat sheet.

I remember Baron was in on Shaq Stokes before he signed with Hawaiii. Another hoodlum baron recruited during his waning years at URI.
