Up 5 points and Iverson and Four havent done anything yet. 20-4 run!!

adam914

That Thompson banked in 3 is just what we needed! Earl playing very well!!

adam914

If Four's shot is off tonight it's gonna be real tough.

adam914

Starting on ESPN News at 7:05

Yeah he is there. Koch confirmed on Twitter.

Actually looking again now I realize it says its blacked out on ESPN3, not Watch ESPN. Always so confusing how those are two different things!

I checked on there before and it said it was blacked out everywhere for some reason. Hopefully they'll put it on there (or ESPN news or something) at least to start.

adam914

So they are just starting the second half of the football game on ESPNU. Pretty sure we'll miss the first 10 minutes of the game at least at this point.

adam914

Crap I just realized there is a football game on before this on ESPNU. I wonder how much of it I am going to miss because that games goes long! Looks like its not even on ESPN3 online either. Says its blacked out.

adam914

Haha that is equal parts insane and amazing. I love it! Nice work.

adam914

TP, the intelligent "people" on the PC board are accusing you of threating children and anyone wearing black. Haha. Don't go to that board, Billy. You pay an IQ tax every time you do. Oh man I just made the mistake of going over there to see what they said. Never again! Shocked to see tha...

For some reason this part made me laugh my ass off. Well done.

Man Ulmer alley oops were the best!

adam914

Please remember....the bookies only want to get the same amount of money bet on each side...they will keep adjusting it to get more play one way to balance the previous play... This is a common misperception and not always true. In a perfect world they would love to have close to equal money but th...

That seems crazy to me, but yeah I hope they know something.

Solid, spot on, stuff from Chris as usual.

I used to be one of those that hated on the rushing the court unless it was a huge upset or something, but the last couple years I have come back around on it. Now I feel like who cares, they are college kids and are having a great time. If you want to rush the court go for it. Have some fun, after ...

adam914

I would like nothing better than CT and others potentially stepping up as an unlikely top performer in this game. I wonder though that the bright lights of this bigger stage allows Dan to see his bench group as being ready and will get enough minutes for them to step up. Our bench points or lack th...

adam914

Iverson on Dunn would be interesting because of his size. Would worry about foul trouble there to though.

adam914

Didn't he say the same thing last time they played here? I don't think its that big of a deal, it's just dumb. Yeah I think we should play all of our games at home to, sure would be nice!

TruePoint wrote:Yup second half was a completely different game. We wore them down...eventually athleticism and talent wins out. Can't afford to come out sluggish on Saturday though.

No doubt about that, hopefully the crows helps in the regard.

TruePoint wrote:If the defense shows up we will run away and hide from this team, but it's a little worrisome that a team that scored 50 against Harvard at home could feasibly get that in the first half against us at our place.

Things definitely improved, still barely at 50 wth 3 minutes left to play!

adam914

I seriously think this is becoming Iverson's team in a sense. And that's fantastic for everyone. Allows Hassan, Terrell and Garrett settle more into their previously anticipated roles.

BleedBlue87 wrote:JT is in such a funk with his shooting game. Must be frustrating for him.

He has definitely missed some wide open looks, those are the ones we need him to hit more. But he has also taken some bad shots to, and I think cutting down on those will help in the long run.

adam914

People probably read this board and thought the season was over...

adam914

I think they'll cool down in the second half. They didn't shoot a crazy PCT, but seemed to hit some pretty tough shots. They only shot 30% against Harvard, so I bet they come back down a bit in the second half.

adam914

Wow a technical and it wasnt on Hurley!

adam914

Oh my Iverson just posterized that kid!

adam914

The problem I've noticed is that it just isn't very consistent from game to game. Some games are whistles every time down the floor, and others are just fine. So you never seem to know what you're going to get.

adam914

Oh boy...but what about all that "well look at what Dayton is doing..." talk I have heard. Beaten by 29!! They should shut down the program!

adam914

I was wondering how people would find fault with a 21 point lead. But I knew somebody would be able to.

Most probably aren't back yet right?

adam914

They were down by 4 at halftime, and still single digits midway thru the 2nd half.... Whatever makes your point, which wasn't a good one. I'm not stupid. ATP, I'm going to ignore you from now on...do the same for me please and thank you. Oh so now we are measuring teams based on halftime scores. Ok...

Cleveland State ended up losing by 17. Hopefully that is less troubling.

adam914

Wait we're still playing the rest of our games!?!?

adam914

If you guys are expecting to get recruits that will be instant big time scorers from day 1 when you have guys like EC, Garrett and Terrell as sophomores and juniors at their position ahead of them then you might want to start rooting for Kentucky or Duke.

TruePoint wrote:We'll see. I thought of Dowtin as a combo guard whose main selling point was versatility and well-roundedness, not as a spot-up shooter, but maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, probably not spot-up shooter necessarily, but sounds like he has a decent shot at least.

I doubt it, Hurley can't recruit offensive weapons I hear.

adam914

From the Washington Post article on his commitment... "While Dowtin marks the fourth verbal pledge to Rhode Island’s 2016 class in the last 15 days, he’s the lone guard in that bunch. The Rams, along with George Mason and Wichita State, were intrigued by Dowtin’s shooting touch as well as his a...

Fair points, I dont necessarily think Weber's value to that team was measured in points, he ran the offense, was extremely tough for his size and was obviously a defensive standout, my point with Weber is he was the leader of that team on both ends of the floor, who is the leader of this team, who ...

adam914

Dayton has looked like a legit team after losing their best player in Pierre and have blown out Alabama and beat a very tough Iowa team, VCU lost Briante Weber last year in late January and yet went on to win the A10 tournament and take a higher seeded Ohio State team to OT before losing in the nca...

Oh well look at that, shocker.

Well said, Happy Thanksgiving all!!

This just in: People who post on message boards and Reddit are more likely than not to be yahoos. You won't get any relief there, RhodySurf. Not even Reddit will float that truth to the top. My favorite post on there is the guy that says "anybody who followed Danny in his days at Duke shouldn'...

I agree RF1, I think if there was anything there, it was with the trainer that went out of his way to try and get to Hurley in the handshake line.

Billyboy78 wrote:The usual tenacious defense, yet staying out of foul trouble. No fouls 25-30 feet from the basket. Get some steals leading to easy baskets. Hit open shots. Win.

I hope they aren't calling it as tight as last night, or we could be in trouble with the fouls. Especially inside.

adam914

And there are about 4,500 who aren't.

adam914

Are we really talking about shooting free throws underhand?

adam914

Given the glass house we live in I don't think we should be throwing stones at PCs attendance. That wasn't really what I was doing. I was more pointing out that many teams struggle to fill their building at this point in the season against off-brand opponents. This is my biggest gripe with all the ...

adam914

I am honestly shocked by that line. I would never bet against Rhody, and I hope they prove me very wrong, but I would go huge on Maryland at that number.
