line is now down to between -4 and -5 . URIshould cover evn the opening -6.5.

luke

The early line is out as URI - 6.5 . I'm thinking the Rams cover this spread at home , making it 4 out of 5 spreads covered if they do . They began the season failing to cover the first three games and also failing to cover against PC . The offense is starting to come around some , but it has been o...

luke

My take on this game was that it looked like our forwards overplayed their men on defense more than they were able to handle and should have given up perimeter jumpers instead of allowing one back door cut for a layup after another , and allowed post up positioning practically right under the basket...

luke

The opening line on this one is to me a surprisingly close spread at Providence as a - 4 favorite . I would have expected it to be more like -6.5 . Therefore smart money would be on PC to cover the spread . Despite this , The Rams do have a chance to win this game as they did also have against BC bu...

luke

Dayton's near term future depends on Deron Holmes . If he returns to Dayton next season and doesn't go to the NBA , Dayton could be just as good as they were in 2020 next season . They are off to a poor start in part do to several key injuries ( Smith, Brea , Elvis ) but when they get healthy they a...

My wife and I once met and talked to his wife and him before a road game at Monmouth University several years ago . They were both so nice and kind , spending a long time talking to us about URI basketball . always enjoyed listening to his game broadcasts as we told them . He was very humble annd ap...

luke

As expected they cover the spread but lose a close game brcause they can't shoot fts in the clutch.

luke

The early line is out and it is Boston College - 6.5 . This really is a tough one because both teams have been very inconsistent . Anything can happen in this game . The home court advantage may see BC through to covering this spread , but I'm picking URI to beat the spread for the third consecutive...

luke

Yes , thanks Reef and Roudy . It looks like we will be able to get it through ESPN+ a sthoe games Roudy listed do work.

luke

Any way to watch without ACC TV ? I don't see a simulcast for espn+ . Another ripoff.

luke

A loss but at least they finally beat a spread which shows some improvement and they had a chance to tie and force an overtime . Maybe they can win
tomorrow . Baby steps.

luke

Well , a loss but it sounds like they played better .The turnovers have got to be cut in half if they want to win any games . At least they made some shots
tonight and even shot well from the ft line . hope that can continue going forward . Just keep getting better.

luke

The line is Tulane - 9 . It's very hard to bet URI on any line the way things are going , but they haven't beat the spread in any game so far . So,
just to be a contrarian I will go with the Rams , and may do so until they finally beat a point spread . it better be tonight .

luke

Glad I didn't waste $ 30 to watch this . From the box score and what is posted it sounds like all the same issues continue including abominable shooting, poor defense and too many turnovers. Those are some pretty ugly stats . I had hoped for some improvement , but if there was any , it surely doesn'...

luke

I think that if the play improves as much as it did in the second half of the Stoney Brook game then URI has a chance to win , but play will definitely have
to improve . Better defense from the guards and fewer turnovers might get the job done.

luke

The opening line today is Kansas State - 7.5 . Kansas State Has faced a very weak schedule thus far , even weaker than URI . I.m thinking the match up with URI may be tougher than they have seen to date . However , they have some senior leadership which may carry them through to a victory . If you a...

luke

Yes , if you don't pay $ 150 for a full year ,it is $ 30 per month ,an almighty ripoff as far as I'm concerned for 3 games .

luke

Nice to see all the positive posts on here . First the bad : Too many unforced turnovers in the first half . The good : They clean it up in the second half. The bad : Still overplaying too much by the guards which allowed easy layups. The good: shooting was significantly better , especially from thr...

luke

spread has slipped a little to URI - 11 1/2 , but i don't see a play here either way with Stoney Brook havung suffered injuries and The Rams having only
played a good ten minutes of basketball . Just a win is all I'm looking forat this point.

luke

The Vegas opening line is URI - 12 .I find t hard to believe that odds makers think URI can beat anybody by 12 points the way they have played thus far .They must be figuring the injuries to key players for Stony Brook is enough to doom them. We will see . no way would I give 12 points If I'm a URI ...

luke

I think I'm going to wait for them to win a game before I pick them to win a game again.

luke

Let''s try this again . On Monday night we were all flying blind which I readily admitted and declined to pick a winner . Vegas has this game as URI - 7 . I am going to go way out on the proverbial limb and pick URI to win this game by 8 , say 74-66 . But please do not take this as gospel because my...

luke

I guess Vegas had no more clues about this game than I did . Maybe they should have sat it out too.

luke

Can anybody on this team shoot a basketball ? Some of the worst outside shooting I've seen since , well last year's team . They played hard , but they can't put the ball in the hole again . I guess the odds makers didn't know what to expect either . I sincerely hope the shooting tonight was all abou...

luke

The Vegas line is now up to URI - 8 1/2 on game day . I have nothing to base any prediction on except a completely meaningless intrasquad scrimage . So I'm loathe to offer any prediction at all on this one . Have to to get a handle on this team after a couple of games to be able to offer any reasona...

luke

The Sunday line on this game is at URI - 7 1/2 . I have no idea how they came up with this line because even URI fans have no idea what to expect , so I believe the best option is to sit this one out and give The Rams a few games to see where they're at before risking any money either way . I hope t...

luke

I think we should get a reset on the contest if Anthony Harris shows up and plays before January . A bit tongue in cheek , but what do you think
Obie ? A Do Over a la "City Slickers " . Any takers ?

luke

Sorry Obie I meant to say Freeman as top scorer

luke

1. 15-16 2. 7-11 3. 66.71 4. 13.33 5. 4820 First of all , based on the only thing I have seen of this team is a tape of a blue white game in which the guys didn't look too good , let me say don't look toward my predictions because for the first time I haven't even a clue . I sure hope the shooting w...

luke

I have a 5 game mini plan so the first game is PC . I'm thinking about the home opener a week from Monday . I don't know if I can wait until the PC game but The 5 hour drive from South Jersey makes it tough . Very anxious to see what we've got and I have no ideas on the Prediction Contest for this s...

luke

Sure seems overrated .

luke

I have to disagree that these scrimmages are of no importance to the extent that losing by 50 would be meaningless . It may not be important to be on the losing end of a scrimmage , but to be thoroughly embarrassed by a team that you should be competitive with would be alarming to a coach . It would...

luke

Actually , they only play Dayton at home this season .

luke

Wow .Thanks Obie for having done such an incredible job with the contest each year . I know all of us have so looked forward to it every season .Just
wanted you to know how much I have appreciated all of your efforts over the years.

luke

Don't know what gives with this player's recruitment or if Archie has moved on from him . BTW "Run silent Run Deep" is a classic WW11 movie
starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster and there are future stars such as Jack Warden and Don Rickles in bit parts .

luke

Nice work . You put in a lot of work to illustrate your point very effectively .if this happens it would be a big boost to A 10 level teams , but I can see
the P 5 schools fighting it because it may destroy the myth of their supposed superiority . Hope it actually happens , though.

luke

Isn't Archie supposed to be visiting Sean this week ? why is there all of this speculation about a commitment . It would make sense to me that a commitment would come after that home visit . I see no sense to getting anxious about the commitment until after the home visit . There is no reason to bel...

luke

Certainly glad to donate for Ishmael's dad . It was very easy to do . Ishmael seems like a great person and I am sorry such a tragedy has befallen him
and his family .

luke

Nice workup . Fun to watch the spots being filled.

luke

Congrats Blueram . Let's hope next year the winner will be closer to the top of the prediction contest than the bottom . Good job keeping your predictions
within the realm of reality unlike myself who must have been on drugs when I made my overly optimistic predictions.

luke

Archie had luck with Canadian Dyshawn Piere at Dayton . Hope this player is on the same level and Archiie gets him .

luke

If anybody can bring back Lasalle to relevance it would be Fran Dumphy . It may take a couple seasons , but If it is possible be done Fran Dumphy
would be their best hope . he has always been an outstanding coach . Lasalle must have begged him to take over at his Alma mater.

luke

What an impressive speech by Archie . So excited, I can't believe we got my first choice as coach again first with Dan and now with Archie . It was just an awesome introduction and press conference. And I have to say not only was the press conference so impressive , but also the posters on Keaney Bl...

luke

AMAZING!!!!

luke

A M A Z I N G !!!!! A dream hire . I am so excited I can''t believe it . This is a grand slam A 4 pointer a hat trick a touchdown a hail mary .
I love Archie Miller !!!! My number one choice all the way !!!!

luke

Please , Please , please be true !!!

luke

Chris Mack was an assistant under Sean Miller. Thad Matta had already built Xavier into a National power and Sean Miller took over from Matta and continued the rise of the program . Chris Mack inherited an established program from Miller . Miller had won 3 A 10 titles and had 4 NCAA appearances befo...

luke

Not a huge fan of Mack . he is another coach who let his players dictate kind of like Cox . But I guess he would be better than some of the underwhelming choices being mentioned that have only coached at lower level programs and would offer a very high risk to reward potential as
a result.

luke

True , Reef . Dayton is going to be a monster team going forward . Others may emerge quickly as well . Even Fordham made strides this season.

luke

Okay PlayMIKe you go with that . Names don't recruit ? Okay if they follow your belief and take one of the mentioned names we will see where that leads .
Players are absolutely influenced by the reputation of the coach . Are you posting just to get a reaction or do you really believe this ?
