Now they're ragging on Hurley on the PC board, that's he's an immature high school coach, who's totally out of control. Oh, and he didn't praise Cotton, but gave his players credit for shitting him down. "He'll make URI and himself the team and coach that everyone loves to hate. This isn't hig...

Both admins need to set a date in stone. Make it like LSU/bama football. 3rd sat in oct until the end of time they play. PC/uri should be first Saturday in Dec; 4pm. Rotates home and home. There is already an intial date set for this game every year. It is the first Saturday of December. PC however...

Extremely disappointed in Ed Cooley's comments that this game should always be played at the DDC. He is no outsider that might not understand the rivalry. He grew up here and coached on both sidelines. He full well knows how those types of comments would go over with Rhody fans. Very bush league.

RF1

PC people are really insufferable. Their team wins tonight and instead of celebrating that, they have their coach going on about wanting all future games played on his home court and the fans crying about Hurley.

RF1

I'll just touch on some stuff written here. For a long time I've felt that the PC/URI game should be played only at the Dunk. I know it's a widely unpopular thought, but here is why I feel that way: When PC plays at URI, because of the venue, its 90-10 in terms of fans. When URI plays at PC, its ty...

RF1

Screw Cooley for suggesting that. They couldn't even sell out the DDC. Thousands of empty seats with a crowd of just 9344. Very bush league for him to suggest that all games should be played on his team's home court. I had thought more of him.

RF1

On the plus side, Hare is having a great game.

RF1

X, Nik, and Powell are a combined 8-32.

RF1

URI is shooting 37.5% which is about as bad as they do most games. FT shooting is actually good. Rhody's problem looks to be the turnovers with 19 thus far.

RF1

St Louis is well positioned for future success with a beautiful brand new 10,000 seat on campus arena, location in a major metro area, and willingness to pay 1 million or more for a top notch coach.

RF1

I would love for Rhody to win an away game in the series and repay PC for last year's loss at the Ryan Center. No one would have thought this would even be a contest months before the season began. Even when Dunn went down, PC was a big favorite. Without Council, they were still a clear a favorite. ...

I can recall going to Iggy's after a Keaney game pre-college age and thinking it was cool to see head coach Claude English there.

This got me thinking....how many students currently live on campus? I believe that I read somehwere that URI can now house about 50% of its undergraduate enrollment in campus housing. If I am not mistaken, that would equate to about 7,000. Keep in mind that URI's total enrollment has risen quite a ...

ATP - there were two NIT games at the Ryan Center in 2002-03. the first was the big comeback with Dawan three against Seton Hall. The 2nd was the loss to Chaney's Temple.

Carpano's mention of the attendance and use of the term "announced" for just the URI game (no mention of this topic for either the PC or Bryant home games) was just another gratuitous slap at URI basketball by WJAR. Carpano always has some negative comments and WJAR is also the station tha...

Attendance for college games in the notheast seems very much on the decline and this includes BCS conference teams as well. This region is a pro sports dominated area. Some other schools in the New England/NYC area: Providence 5 games thus far for an average of 5,530 (DDC Cap: 12,400) Lows: 4,307 By...

Winning is the remedy to low attendance. I was able to get the attendance numbers from the URI web site for every season but the first since the Ryan Center opened. The far and away worst attendance average was last year at 3,829. It was certainly impacted by the team's win/loss record of 7-24. This...

I haven't been to Caseys in many years. I was never a big fan of it. It always reminded me of a hotel restaurant and bar (not a good thing). I much more prefer the Mews. I am however probably in the minority for someone that started following Rhody hoops in the late 70's. It seemed to me that Casey'...

Three of the four RI D1 teams had home games yesterday (all won) and WJAR-10 had video footage of each one. Frank Carpano interestingly however chose to mention the attendance for just one of the three by stating that there was an "announced" crowd of 4,126 at the Ryan Center to see the UV...

Played against URI. Went to UMaine and was Defensive CAA Player of the Year.

I have to give this team some credit. Vermont is a decent team. Handling the Catamounts as easily as they did was unexpected. Wow. I also can't believe they scored 76 points! Well done.

My fear was that some improvement was needed in the win loss record this season to keep the Hurley momentum rolling. I don't see that happening with this team as it will be hard pressed just to match the win total from last year. There was a lot of excitment and buzz when Dan was hired. I fear that...

RF1

I would argue that BB's departure was a short-term gain as well Totally disagree. Billy Baron would have been a big part of this year's team. His scoring and free throw shooting on this team would have probably turned a few of our losses into wins (specifically SHU, Loyola, and GMU). He would have ...

An article about UConn from The New London Day that dove-tails my assertion that UConn fans over-inflate their worth:

Sad but you don't deserve to win when you shoot only 13-26 from the line.
They play hard but can't close the deal.

RF1

This ft shooting is just horrendous. Now 8-20. It may well be the difference in this game.

As an old man I long for those days when PC-Holy Cross was must-see basketball together with any games involving URI, BC, UConn, Fairfield, etc......many of the younger readers of this board didn't experience the tremendous passion in those games.....now they are fillers on the schedule....

For URI and A-10 fans, it is best to hope that this bastardized Big East hybrid continues to exist for many years to come. If so, the BE will contine on a path of being watered down and the gap with the A-10 will continue to shrink.

RF1

It is entertaining to read the UConn Board. They are blaming everyone for their plight but the true culprit, themselves. Their sanctimonious actions when BC, Miami, and Va Tech left for the ACC comes back to nite them. You can't go ballistic with lawsuits against certain schools and a conference and...

7.9 seconds down by three. Can they even get a shot off? I have little faith.

Going to be? Is already seems like it has been a long time. Extremely painful to watch this bunch. Other than Hare and Munford, I don't want to see anyone on this team get many minutes next year and beyond.

Another loss looks to be in the books. At least they make opponents sweat it out. It is however always a given they will find a way to lose.

It just makes you sick watching this team. They don't even get a shot off.

This is sure to end with a loss in OT.

I really hope we get something better than Powell heaving up a bad shot with time expiring.

I wonder if BC will now drop Bryant from future schedules. The Eagles are now running out of New England teams to schedule that they are likely to beat.

While it still won't be many wins, the women are on pace to win more games than the men's hoops, football, and soccer programs combined.

As for how URI compares to the other A-10 schools - Fordham and Duquense both won close games last night. URI is now the only winless in the league.

The closest this team gets to Brooklyn is when it visits the Bronx to play Fordham in a regular season league game.
