Biggie with 3 points, 0 assists and 2 turnovers for the half. Now THAT'S what I want to see from my PG!

NJRhodyFan

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Reischel and Biggie are the biggest disappointments thus far in my opinion. I work with a guy from the Point Pleasant area who attended just about every game Reischel played in high school, and he was continually telling me what a great player he is, and how muc...

NJRhodyFan

EC is a terrible ball handler! He CAN'T play PG!!!! Saying he's "terrible" is a bit of an embellishment, but I agree that he wouldn't be my first choice at PG. However given the awful play of Biggie thus far, what's the harm in giving it a shot?? Just keep tinkering until something clicks...

NJRhodyFan

LOL It was a reach, Rod...I'm grasping at straws here. Is there anything besides the growth of EC and Hassan to look forward to?

NJRhodyFan

I'm always searching for the silver lining, so here it is. Maybe the fact that we played three of the better teams in our conference right off the bat means that we'll be battle-tested and more capable of beating the middle tier teams as we move along in our schedule...maybe?. I just don't have much...

NJRhodyFan

I think this team plays hard for the most part, but they're just not very good -that's really what it comes down to. I mean honestly...have you ever seen a team miss so many layups and free throws?? It's ridiculous. If you're not able to do the basics, then who in the world is going to take you seri...

NJRhodyFan

Let's face it...this team stinks. Looking at our schedule, I would be surprised if we beat anybody outside of Fordham and Duquesne, and those certainly aren't guaranteed wins either. A lot of hype for this year's team, but I'm tremendously disappointed.

NJRhodyFan

I don't want to change the uniforms again. I don't mind them at all. Give it a few years, do we really need 3 uniform changes in 3 years? Seems like all teams that don't have really classic traditional uniforms change them every year when the apparel companies update their lines. I don't love or ha...

NJRhodyFan

Kudos to the refs tonight. Reviewing that Biruta play in the last minute was crucial. If LSU got the ball, it could have been a different outcome.

NJRhodyFan

We had 22 turnovers and still won the game...amazing! The difference was on the boards. We out-rebounded a much bigger team 46-32. Now THAT'S what I call a great effort! Let's hope this kickstarts the team entering conference play.

NJRhodyFan

What a win!! Now THAT'S the team I was expecting to see all year. Great effort!

NJRhodyFan

Good timeout by Hurley...I thought we were getting called for 10 second violation.

NJRhodyFan

URI played a solid half of basketball in my opinion. Despite being undersized, we're playing very good defense and getting some good looks on the offensive side of the ball. Let's keep it going!

NJRhodyFan

We're playing with some good intensity against a much bigger team. Keep it up!

NJRhodyFan

The best game I've ever attended at the Ryan Center (and I'm certain it was a sellout) was back in the '07-08 season when we played Xavier, who I believe was top-10 in the country at the time. I made the drive up from NJ and although we lost by a few points, I'm glad I made the trip. It was the loud...

NJRhodyFan

GBG: Since you're an expert, what offensive system do you think Hurley should install? Legitimate question, Iggy. I hear a lot of complaining in relation to Hurley's "failed" system, but never do I hear those gripes backed up with substantial recommendations. I think this team just needs ...

NJRhodyFan

I might be in the minority, but I thought our defense looked better tonight. I agree with the notion that we just don't have any pure shooters on this team...that will always hurt in a tight game. Wish everyone played with the energy of TJ, although don't think effort was lacking tonight. Stupid tur...

NJRhodyFan

My gosh...we're 5 games into the season and the majority of people in here sound like they're ready to jump ship. Patience, folks...it will take some time for our guys to mesh, and I think we're underestimating how much the injury is affecting Biruta's performance. I saw him play a few games at Rutg...

NJRhodyFan

Yeah I can't really say I'm a big fan of the new uniforms. Like the colors, but not the design or lettering. Curious to see what the road jerseys look like.

NJRhodyFan

Definitely need some work on the defensive end, but this team will score some points. We also did what you're supposed to do against weaker opponents -kill them on the boards. Onyekaba is already my favorite player...has some of those "Reynolds-Dean-type" qualities, and that's a high compl...

NJRhodyFan

1) 19-12
2) 11-5
3) 76.7 PPG
4) Munford, 16.5
5) 5,750

Good luck everyone!

He was good.

Are you referring to Baron and his old coaching staff?

NJRhodyFan

Wow...what a difference from the old floor! I love it -has a simple, classy look to it. The interlocking RI at center court is MUCH better than a giant ram's head in my opinion. Gives us more of an identity for TV viewers who may not know anything about our university. Although having the ram logo s...

Nice to see the A-10 getting some love. Can't wait for the upcoming season to start!!

NJRhodyFan

Here's a snippet of an article from ESPN Insider. It's nice to see that URI is getting national recognition for what I consider to be a very good recruiting class. Let's hope these guys perform up to expectations. Between the recruits and the solid transfers becoming eligible, this could be an excit...

NJRhodyFan

Yeah I'll never forget that NIT game vs Creighton where Daniels spent most of the night rotting away on the bench. I think 4 or 5 other guys played more minutes than him that night, which is inconceivable. Just goes to show you what a putz Baron was...holding grudges, etc. So glad that era of URI ba...

NJRhodyFan

It would be nice to drop some of the dead weight (ie: Fordham, St. Bonnie, Duquesne). The conference would be much more competitive in the long run.

All kidding aside, how does a conference initiate that process? What steps need to be taken to remove a team?

NJRhodyFan

I like Davidson as a choice. It has a great tradition of winning and going to tournaments. I don't think it would be a step backwards. Actually, the Rams played Davidson in the Ncaa back in '65. We got trounced! I agree. I'm not sure why the majority of posters on here appear to be against the addi...

Not to be argumentative, but why?? Both programs are MUCH better and more competitive than some of the other names that have been bandied about.

NJRhodyFan

I give the A-10 credit for being proactive here. Yes, we're losing two of our flagship programs in Temple and Xavier (not counting Butler because they just got here), but we're replacing them with competitive programs in George Mason and Davidson. Situation could be much worse. One name I haven't re...

NJRhodyFan

If this anonymous source knows people who supposedly "know"...then if it's true, others know too. If that is the case, it would have "leaked" online(not us) by now. I think someone is having fun with us, and in particular, Rod, who is so passionate about the subject. Exactly. If...

NJRhodyFan

I saw the following posted in the comments section underneath the Yahoo article and almost puked:

"Former Rhode Island coach, and current Canisius coach Jim Baron would be a great choice.
Solid character, solid teacher.
He does things the right way."

NJRhodyFan

Maybe it's the eternal optimism in me, but does anybody truly think Hurley wants any part of that Rutgers mess?? I'm finding that hard to believe, especially when you consider the influx of talent we have next year. I'm not naive enough to think that Hurley will be a "lifer" here, but I ag...

NJRhodyFan

I attended the game on Saturday, and aside from URI losing, the game was actually enjoyable to watch. Both teams played their butts off, and the the score was tight throughout. Just a few comments regarding Hurley and his courtside demeanor. He is definitely an emotional guy, and I love to see that ...

NJRhodyFan

Does anybody have a score update? As usual, ESPN and the other sports websites have URI/GMU stuck on the same score for the past 20 minutes. Why does this always seems to happen with our games??

NJRhodyFan

Big Rhody fan here. Haven't posted anything in quite some time, but I was at the Ohio St. game on Saturday and left the arena feeling very confident in the future of our program. Even though we were severely undersized and undermanned against a top-ranked team, I was so impressed by the effort our g...
