Student seating at the RC is fine. Fill the seats behind the 1 basket from the floor to the 300s. If they are consistently full- open up seats directly behind the other basket. I doubt there are any students staying away because of the seating arrangement. The issue is getting the kids to the games....

I only want to see 1 former rhody player max on the coaching staff.

Rhodyram

As a fan of the team I'm cool with as many players leaving that want to- Personally I've seen enough of them to know that they will not be the big pieces of a turnaround/successful program.

Rhodyram

I hope I never have to think about the NIT. Ever.

Sounds like she’s staying but wow- that’s the shakiest 99% I’ve ever heard.

Rhodyram

Raising ticket prices for the upcoming season would be a mistake. Keep them for a year then raise. The current prices were set after the Successful Hurley years. This team has been gotten worse each year since then. We don’t have enough fans waiting in the wings to jump on season tickets. It’s prett...

Rhodyram

What was the old asst coach salary pool?

Rhodyram

I did not renew my tix for this season. I will happily become a season ticket holder again for the upcoming season. Great hire-just what the program needed.

Just sayin....

Make a big hire and they may not be wanted back.

A race to the portal....

It's been a good game. Gilyard doing a lot to keep Richmond in the game.

Lee has been awful today.

I think golocal is trash also- but when it comes to Rhody hoops I believe they have some sort of connection to some inside info- most likely boosters.

What is with GoLocalProv and the Pitino family?

I think a booster has the ear of someone with golocal

Doesn't Pitino's buyout take him off the list?

I think its close- Rhody, but not by much

It’s on Thorr to find the next stud coach , I have confidence he will get it right after missing on Cox This makes no sense- Thorr missed on Cox. What gives you confidence that he can make a good hire? I hope he can, but I am certainly not confident. The program is a lot worse off than when Cox was...

Rhodyram

Cue the UVA rumors…….

Rhodyram

I don’t want anyone who is a former Rhody player/coach. Need fresh eyes/perspective.

This is exactly the kind of thing our fans should see. Wonder if it could be shown before a game or at halftime?

Its very interesting- but probably not show at an arena interesting

Not a "Chance"

Concessions for Sunday’s women’s game-
1 concession stand open on 1st floor.
1 cart selling popcorn/ candy/soda on second floor.
That was it.
No beer
1000+ people
Worse than a some high schools

Rhodyram

Rhody drew 7,900 fans for a Wednesday 9:00 game vs #3 Dayton in the 2020 season. At that point, we still had a shot at the tourney. When we are good and play good teams people show up- no matter what date/time

Rhodyram

Is PC making up the Covid cancelled games? If not they miss games against Creighton Uconn and Seton Hall- all top 1/2 programs in the Big East- basically setting them up for an easy path to the Big East season championship They are not making them up Then they are lucky in that sense- 6 games vs bo...

The Ryan Center is absolutely an amazing environment when hyped up and sold out. The last good one was when top 5 ranked Dayton came to town. Students and fans were great. I still miss the light show that started around 2015/2016. Most lights would go out followed by an awesome light show simultane...

Rhodyram

PC sits students the same way we do. Lower and upper section directly behind a hoop. Fair - but PC's fanbase is about 20 years younger on average than ours, and the people that sit near the court are boozed up and loud. We need the students to make up for what most of our fanbase lacks. The media o...

Rhodyram

Saw the low turnout coming the second they rescheduled the game:
Monday 9:00 start
Day after Super Bowl- many people at parties/get togethers on Sunday night
Valentine's day
and the team is mediocre at best.

To top it off it was 15 degrees

Rhodyram

The team has gotten worse with each season and fan support/attitude and attendance have all fallen off. That's sports. The women's team has gotten better- fan support/attitude and attendance have grown. Thats sports. Because Cox is a nice guy should not give him a free pass for what is happening on ...

Rhodyram

1252 attendance is the largest crowd I can ever remember at a WBB Game URI WBB now had the longest current winning streak in the Nation. Try that on for size! Were there many students, Ramster? Some in the student section but not many. The 100 level seats were filled up quite well especially 103, 1...

Correction- I saw them walking into the RC about 30 min after the women’s game.

I did not see them.

Great game today- nice crowd boosted by pre game a
Women in Sports clinic at Mackel. Williams is great to watch. It was a shame they couldn’t have shown the replay of her half court shot on the scoreboard.

Hi Temperature 55 on Saturday for the Davidson Game! Could boost attendance. Sounds like a beach day to me.

Sales would literally be zero for Williams jerseys.

My knowledge of his departure says otherwise I'm kind of leery about airing speculation about why someone has left the team. If he comes out and makes some kind of public statement on social media about it, that's fair game, but otherwise I think we should keep speculation to a minimum here. I thou...

Due to some free court side tickets I went to my 1st game of the season yesterday…. It was a better than I expected crowd - not 5800 but a lot more than I thought would be there. Maybe the free T-shirt’s for students drew more kids. Aside from the 20 turnovers there was a noticeable # of deflected(s...

Rhodyram

Steve said 5800. It was a little more than half full but not 5800

Rhodyram

Wasn't there a buyout if Cox was not hired?

Rhodyram

The new coach will bring in his "guys". Things can be turned around quicker than you think-----with the right hire.

Rhodyram

The season was over long before this game... The most important thing is getting rid of Cox and finding a new coach... It was a nice moment seeing an RI kid hit some 3s and bring us back. That's all. He's one of the few players that I think could stay if we get rid of Cox. I truly don't understand ...

Rhodyram

I like this Morey H- asks the questions that the fans want asked. Calls things like he see them.

Rhodyram

BlueMan or others, just curious. Again, we don't know how the rest of the season will play out so only speculation at this time. But let's say Thorr ends up retaining Cox and they work out some sort of an agreement or extension. We go into next season with our basic core group, give or take a few o...
