Got my flights booked, hotel booked - now just praying for the URI ticket office to let me get a ticket to the game. I am a season ticket holder. Anyone with prior experience from last year know what its like? You'll be able to get a ticket one way or another. These things don't tend to sell out. I...

https://twitter.com/BillKoch25/status/971888703693082626 In some respects, I agree with EC. Have you ever seen less pre tourney respect and talk for a team that was its league's #1 seed wrapping up that position with one week left in the season after having led the standings from Day 1? The only te...

I was really underwhelmed with Grant Golden when he played here. Yeah, he scored 16, but he needed 16 shots and 4 free throws to get there, and he was so terrible defensively that he gave up way more than 16 points himself. His ole defense was the biggest reason we blew them out. I would definitely...

josephski

I guess the last two losses had absolutely no bearing on our seeding and the probability of advancing in the NCAA Tournament. I guess I missed the part where we were a 1 seed playing a 16. If we're as terrible as a lot of people all of a sudden think we are, wouldn't we have lost the first round ga...

Wow it sucks to read through these posts, some of you guys are the most obnoxious fans. Everyone's in a good mood and happy when we're winning but then we lose a few games and suddenly everyone's bawling their eyes out and attacking the players. Huge, YUUGE line between constructive criticism and a...

Great halftime segment on Jarvis!

josephski

I don't get why only a detached structure can be legitimate and commensurate with the program aspires to be? It actually seems preferable to have the facility attached so that players and coaches can access the facility, the locker room, the arena and all other team areas (weight, training, film, e...

This is my problem with Kenpom - Did Hurley leave those guys in to run up the score to increase the Kenpom? AP voters look at Kenpim and as I understand it is included in the team sheets this year with other predictive metrics. Were there games earlier in the year he could have kept guys in to run ...

If anyone has 2 extra tickets they're looking to sell PM me. Josephski, there are still many tickets on gorhody.com: just over 400 (counting obstructed view) in the 300 level and about 15 in the 200 level (all but one are obstructed). Link to Buy Tickets I saw that, figured if anyone here had any t...

Even though it wasn't the most exciting win at home that might have been the best game I've been to! Awesome atmosphere, incredible second half and a historic night!

My guess is that maybe after the Duquesne game the athletic department wanted to make sure we don't miss a sellout because of students not showing up. can be a fair point, but i would argue the students more then made up for it at the davidson game Definitely, although I'm also curious if any stude...

Over the last 5 years:
5 seeds: 11-9
4 seeds: 18-2

Over the last 15 years:
5 seeds: 36-24
4 seeds: 49-11

Edit: This is only for the first round.

I don't know if you're being serious or not but the NCAA tournament starts in less than a month. There is absolutely no chance the NCAA hands out any penalties before then.

josephski

As of right now we stand to lose 72% of our scoring...that's a lot. Fatts, Cyril and Dowtin are a great foundation but until we see the freshman play in some actual games I think it's going to be tough to know what next years team is capable of. I don't think there will be a huge drop off but I agre...

This doesn't have this weeks ballots yet.

I'm pretty sure those of you who have mentioned KMac's ranking of 18 are looking at last week.

Pretty crazy stat from the Kansas WVU game, Kansas shot 35 free throws, WVU only shot 2.

josephski

Anybody else here feel we should have got more Fatts involved in the last few minutes? And why did Dre score 8 points in the first 5 minutes and then nothing after? Berry barely played in the 2nd half....maybe the first 5 mins? Pretty much, I think he played to the first tv timeout and then sat the...

josephski

I don't like losing and we could have and probably should have won the game, but other than that I'm not mad. Last 4 minutes played not to lose. Might not be the worst thing, big picture, to have it happen tonight rather than three week from now. Time to start a new streak. Hope this gets Bonnies i...

What happens when his team gets demoted to the minor leagues? Does he have to go down and play AAA or whatever? Assuming he is still with Stoke it's not looking so good. Have no idea how that works but I can read the standings. Yes he'd have to play in the Championship (name of the league one lower...

It’s awesome to see Cyril have 3 very solid games in a row. Would be huge if we can depend on him to play this consistently going into the tournament.

BTW, I honestly think RPI is a lot better than people like Bilas think it is. The benefit of RPI is its simplicity: who/where did you play and did you win? It isn’t worried about style pints. I’m not worried about style points (read: margin of victory), either. The other metrics are valuable, also,...

"St. Johns has wins over Nebraska, Nova & Duke... should they be in?" Well, of course not - they'd pretty much have to win out and get to the the BE conference finals. This only shows three things: 1. There is so much parity right now that on any given night, any team in the top 200 c...

There is, high major, mid major and low major. Problem is no one uses high major and low major so it ends up being P5 + Big East or mid major.

josephski

Dowtin's actually in second now after Avery's game last night. Rahkman also has 45 less assists than Dowtin so one bad game could easily put Jeff in the lead.

Just a follow-up on this: I looked at KMAC's voting specifically with respect to these schools. He has every single one of these schools ranked lower than their actual position in the overall poll, EXCEPT for the two big east schools, which he had at the same spot as the overall poll. Pretty tellin...

Great game! Fatts and Cyril picking a good game to have their best games in conference!

Also another great stat line by Stan: 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals and 9 points!

Damn, Mobley’s gonna have the game of his life against us.

Neither team using much of the shot clock, fun game to watch so far!

^A top 10 RPI? Wouldn't two quadrant one wins with a top 10 RPI look better than one quadrant one win with a top 10 RPI? And Ramster, it's not like Seton Hall losing to PC was all of a sudden going to destroy their RPI. The difference between Seton Hall winning and losing against PC for their predi...

God forbid we don’t make it, can you imagine how bad the meltdown you guys will have will be... People will have a meltdown whether or not this thread exists if we don't make the tournament. And I really don't get it, I've seen a bunch of posts about playing in Boston which no one has called out bu...

Syracuse. They’re really long and athletic which could give us problems. They’re not great on offense but they’ve been very good defensively this year. Also my family is from Syracuse so naturally I was raised a huge Cuse fan, I think I’d have a mental breakdown if we play them in the tournament.

josephski

Is it ok to root against PC in their game vs. Seton Hall? Seton Hall winning would probably help us more than PC, I think, though I guess it's close. Asking for a message board... Overall it probably doesn't make a huge difference who wins but ideally Seton Hall and PC will end up as Quadrant 1 win...

Reading some of the comments on the VCU message board is really getting me fired up. There were a small number of positive comments scattered throughout the 16-page thread, but mostly just arrogance and ignorance being displayed by their uninformed posters. Aside from several posters repeatedly ref...

If we go undefeated in league play and have an RPI under 10, I can see a 4 seed. Depends how much the tournament committee looks at the new metrics added to the team sheets along with the how heavily they take into account the quadrants. Right now our RPI is awesome but kenpom, sagarin and bpi defi...

Yeah definitely not concerned if Rutgers opens up There are a couple jobs that if come up could be a problem Syracuse comes to mind if Jimmy B retires You don't want to be the guy after the guy. I don't think it would be that bad coming in after Boeheim. A lot of Cuse fans are looking forward to wh...

ESPN power rankings has us at 23, dropping one spot from 22. Andy Katz has us at 9 in his weekly 36. 9!!!

Is it a coincidence that the first sold out game comes the week we get in the Top 25? It was trending up but it seemed to accelerate with the ranking. Bonnies would have definitely been a sellout with students on campus, possibly George Mason. The ranking probably helps but a Saturday game with stu...

From a bracketology perspective - PC is playing their way into being helpful for us. They sit at 32 in RPI, and if they can get to 30 by selection sunday, they would be a much needed quadrant 1 win. It would suck to play in a western bracket 2 years in a row. GIVE ME THAT 4 SEED. The four seeds pla...
