https://twitter.com/BillKoch25/status/1495200726087356416?t=GxcLErbILpI35eI15iGSOw&s=19 Hurley’s two sub .500 conference records came in years 1 and 2 of 6, Cox’s in years 3 and 4 of 4. They’re going the wrong way. Most concerning is the late season melt downs the last 3 years. 19-20: Losing 4 ...

Fair enough. I read "let's see what he can do" almost as like a two week audition to see if he should be the next guy. Seems like we're in strong agreement here

RhowdyRam02

If it really was a tech for not tucking your shirt in, any decent coach would have yanked him for the rest of the game or more. I hope some reporter has the balls on the post game to ask Cox why Mitchell remained in the game. On another topic, I have gone to 52 straight senior nights, but that stre...

Did anyone notice Bozeman last night after the technical? While DC Was talking to the ref, Boze got off the bench and started clapping loudly while talking to the players while they were at the free throw line. This continued in the next time out. He was still clapping and talking passionately to t...

When was Baron fired? Since Thorr is still the AD, I'd expect the same time frame here. March 4, 2012.. The day after the season ended A note about that, we actually didn't qualify for the A10 tournament that year, so our season ended Saturday the 3rd, but the A10 tournament didn't start until Tues...

RhowdyRam02

Please end this season, we are in the mercy kill stage. Can we start a new contest on how many hours / days Cox lasts after the season ends, 24 hours? I've had March 15th for a while now, although I actually think it will be the 14th. I assume Thorr won't want to make the firing during the A10 tour...

Even in year 4, when the core were sophomores and juniors and EC was hurt for all but 10 minutes, Hassan missed six games due to injury, and Jarvis played with a mask we still went 9-9 in a conference that had three teams go to the tournament

We're adding a sport, and we're hiring a head coach for women's lacrosse this summer even though we don't start playing until the spring of 2025. We have the money to buy out Cox

RhowdyRam02

Lmao this team is so lazy. They lose focus. At the end of games and halves. They don’t care. 3 orebs and a last second 3. Because no one wants to work for a loose ball. Polar opposite of a Hurley team. Everything he built is gone. End the season now please. We've got memories, four banners, a ribbo...

RhowdyRam02

Why didn't the refs do this review during the TV timeout?

RhowdyRam02

The defense wasn't great, but the offense was very good with a bunch of clutch shots down the stretch. Get the road conference win and move on

42-31 Rhody at the half

RhowdyRam02

So the talk is that Cox was a good assistant and would do well to go back to that role. Realistically, could he be a head coach at a lower level school or is he now toast as a head coach? I think he'd be fine at a school like his alma mater William and Mary where there isn't the same expectations

I agree with you I think Cox is a horrible coach and I am a PC fan . Have not tried to hide that at all since I have been posting here. The reason I asked I obviously don't follow as close as you guys and was shocked to hear that. Yeah hence our collective concern that the official accounts are twe...

To corroborate Adam's point, the Chris Mack and Mark Turgeon situations were initiated by the coaches. Mack and Turgeon went to their ADs and said things aren't working out and asked to negotiated buy-outs. Can't say for certain if the Maine and Seattle situations are the same because nobody is rep...

Correction, Kennesaw State and North Alabama left the Big South for the ASUN. Bryant's football conference if they move would be: Robert Morris - Moon Township, PA Charleston Southern - North Charleston, SC Campbell - Buies Creek, NC Gardner-Webb - Boiling Springs, NC They would need to add another ...

RhowdyRam02

Also as part of this move, apparently Bryant is looking to take North Carolina A&T's spot in the Big South: "Hilton also said the Big South is “working to nail down” Bryant University of Smithfield, R.I., to become the sixth football-playing member of that conference." https://hbcugam...

Even if it's just football, the membership would be Robert Morris - Moon Township, PA Charleston Southern - North Charleston, SC Campbell - Buies Creek, NC Gardner-Webb - Boiling Springs, NC What's the point of moving conferences just for that football conference and incurring the extra travel? And ...

Everything Rhowdy and Blue Man are saying is completely logical and makes absolute sense, but then there is always the thought in the back of my head..."but this is URI, so who knows". Believe me, I'm talking myself off the ledge constantly. There's just no way this can go on after this s...

Say hello to North Carolina A&T? The CAA approached them about joining the conference in November, and yesterday the athletic director suggested to their executive board of trustees that they join. The executive board voted unanimously to make the move, and it will probably be voted on today by ...

They "mutually agreed to part ways". That's usually how the midseason departures happen, so unless Cox is willing to do the same it remains highly unlikely. To corroborate Adam's point, the Chris Mack and Mark Turgeon situations were initiated by the coaches. Mack and Turgeon went to thei...

I know I’ve been scolded for it in the past, but I think URI is stupid for not playing a neutral-ish game every season at the Dunk. I would do it when the students are on break, against a team that wouldn’t normally draw very well. Hell pack up the court from the RC and bring it up. And as a school...

She is no longer listed on the roster and last played February 2nd against St. Louis.
She looked to be a good situational player with her size.

If we can beat Richmond and St. Bonaventure without Elmore it would set up nice for her to hopefully come back fairly healthy at Dayton. Supposedly she was around 60% last night

From my friend who was here the other night, pretty equivalent crowd to the other night, maybe even a little more

It's hard to get a handle on how many students there are because they're spread throughout the building. Turns out they're not fans of the worst seats in the house

*also, please when this stuff happens (I hope), don't act like it's some super awesome achievement. Getting WiFi/cell service, or replays in your "state of the art" arena in 2022 is not worthy of a celebration. That's the bare minimum. We just lag very, very, very far behind. The stories ...

RhowdyRam02

Literally the biggest cost of getting replays is the video board. We have that plus the back end technology to play them (same technology as the TD Garden circa 2014)

RhowdyRam02

Put up or shut up time for the fans. 6pm start is great. If we want to keep a coach like Tammi and keep URI women's basketball as a point of pride for the University, we need to show up. This is the women's Dan Hurley. This is the right coach. The "Gonzaga of the East" moniker could be re...
