I've seen URI play at Dayton, it is a unique place. There are no upper or lower sections, the rows start at the floor at Row 1 and go all the way up the roof. Great crowds there. I remember when they hosted the A-10 tournament being amazed at how many people were there on a Wednesday afternoon at 2p...

URIGONZO

I've seen them at a ton of places, and for my money the Cintas Center at Xavier was the best arena.

URIGONZO

Can someone post a link for a free or pay stream site? I'm going to be on amtrak and plan to use my iphone6 as a hotspot to stream the game on my iPad. Go RHODY

URIGONZO

If I was Miles I would have sat in a 2-3 zone in the 2nd half as well. URI didn't make a 3 pointer all night!! I think there first one came at the end of regulation or overtime.

URIGONZO

I give the athletic department a TON of credit for making the Ryan Center a first class place to watch a D-1 hoops game. My only issue is the fact there are no replays on the nice, new LED scoreboards. I would have liked to see a couple of those awful foul calls replayed on the screen. Not sure why ...

URIGONZO

Mancuso's best calls were: "A three from Hellllllengaaaaaaaaa"

URIGONZO

I 100% agree that the "Lion" is horrible. We need the bleach white RAM back!!!!!

URIGONZO

It's always interesting to me that most years everyone on the board over-shoots the teams wins. I hope that is not the case this year as the middle seems to be 17-18 wins. We should have Dr. Jarrett (the URI stats professor, not sure if he's still there) come on the board to dissect the numbers.

URIGONZO

Thanks for doing this again OB!

URIGONZO

Rod I was thinking the other night about the student attendance those first few years the Ryan Center opened.....I believe it was much better than it has been the last 7 or 8 years. I wonder if being only 4 years removed from the Elite 8 had something to do with it then. Recent performance had been ...

URIGONZO

Ob, because I'm terribly bad at reading directions!

Team average: 72.8

Thanks!

URIGONZO

OB,

My prediction is below, sorry it's late. Exclude me from being eligible to win the $$$. I do like to following along if you could put me in the list of entries that would great!

THX!

Right now Gio is our best hope for a T. Boone Pickens....Who are the wealthiest URI alumn? Gio, Tom Ryan, Boss? Who's next?

URIGONZO

Feroce is involved with URI Hoops, I saw a promotion involving his new company named Benrus. That is a great sign for the program that he is involved.

URIGONZO

Who is Jason Francis?

URIGONZO

When you look back on it, Baron recruited some highly questionable D-1 talent. It's almost comical.

URIGONZO

What is the pay like for these teams? I would think if you don't make it in the NBADL you go to Europe. I can't imagine the pay in this ABA is competitive with Europe??

URIGONZO

They were a good squad last year, and we played them VERY tough at the Ryan Center.

URIGONZO

This Alex and Ani guy just can't help himself! He's buying a basketball team now??

URIGONZO

No love for SLU?? I know they lost some guys but they were a hell of a team last year.

URIGONZO

I agree with you BAR. I'm glad he didn't get on the 1st, and I hope Hurley uses that to help motivate him even more.

The excitement around this program is palpable!!!!!

URIGONZO

100% of the contestants overshot the win loss total last year, correct?

URIGONZO

There are a TON of tickets still available on ticketmaster. A little pricey though......

URIGONZO

Haha and I am certainly not "top-tier"

URIGONZO

So as a season ticket holder, what is the recommended action??

URIGONZO

There was a mailing for ordering PC tickets? I didn't get it. What is the deadline?

URIGONZO

Does anyone know how it works for the PC game this year? I assume it's different because it's at the Dunk this year.

URIGONZO

The home slate doesn't impress me.

URIGONZO

I still think Dawan Robinson was an NBA guy before he broke his foot. He ran with Jameer Nelson the entire game against St. Joes that year. I'm getting more and more excited about this coming season. Hopefully the game against Kansas helps this team learn how to play against big-time competition, an...

URIGONZO

This has me pretty excited, URI has the best NBA prospect in the entire A-10?? Wow.

URIGONZO

Jimmy Baron hung around in the RIIL, so did Billy.

URIGONZO

At Fordham is a weekday game again.

I always enjoy going to the City for that game when it is a Saturday afternoon contest.

URIGONZO

Penders had quite a record. I guess I've never looked at his W-L record while at URI.

He should come post on this board from time to time.

URIGONZO

RE: Students

If the team is good, there is no need for physical advertisements, or loud busses. The kids will know, and will be there.

URIGONZO

I wish we weren't playing Kansas on Thanksgiving Day. Kind of a tough day to swing down to Orlando.

URIGONZO

Do they serve sausages at the Ryan Center? And if so, are they any good? Also, I'm not sure if you can compare the food at a Red Sox game (35,000 fans, half of whom are drinking $10.00 bud light drafts) to the Ryan Center (4,000 people a night for the past 6-8 years) with no booze. Aramark probably ...

URIGONZO

I give the school credit for asking season-tickets holders their opinions, it shows they somewhat give a shit about what we think. I think the whining about the food at the Ryan Center is a little much, folks. It's a college basketball game, not a culinary competition. You get a fountain soda, some ...

URIGONZO

I like it Ramulous.....maybe some Clam Chowder from Iggy's???

Pretty cool article on the history of the Projo.

URIGONZO

It must be a feather in the cap for guys looking to get contracts in Europe. I'm sure the European teams like to see guys who played in the NBA Summer League, as opposed to guys who didn't.

URIGONZO

How does everyone grade Billy's performance in the Summer League, I looked at his stats and they seemed decent.

URIGONZO

Of course he wants to compensate players, he's already been doing it for years!!!

URIGONZO

I'm getting pumped for next season already. The invoice for season tickets arrived in the mail, and I also received an email outlining the dates money is due, and the different methods of payment. I also think the Ticket Angel program they have is a very nice gesture, and I'll be donating $100 to th...

URIGONZO

Amazing they put the little blurb in the last line of the article, like ho-hum by the way, Bigby killed someone.

URIGONZO

John Paxson is the Bulls G.M. (or some similar title). Paxson played his college hoop for Notre Dame while Jim Baron was an assistant there under Digger Phelps, and I think the 2 remain close.

URIGONZO

How fitting they send the invoice for season tickets email reminder to everyone on ATP's birthday!!!

Happy Birthday.

URIGONZO

What did Cuttino say? I didn't see it.

URIGONZO

This is turning into "is he, or isn't he" ala Jim Harrick on 4/1/99

URIGONZO

Great tribute. I was somewhat close with PK when I was at URI, and everything Donaldson said about him is dead on. He was always a pleasure to be around, and I wish him well.

URIGONZO

I just googled Ron Petro because I really didn't know too much about him. Why did we hire him from Alaska Anchorage? That's quite a leap. I guess the big thing I took away from reading about where he came from was that he was in no way educated or experienced enough to run a big time college program...
