Remember when we ragged on cox for not knowing umass best player wasn't playing? Well, Archie's vaunted defense let there best shooter shoot 14 3's, most of which were wide open. The sky may be falling. There has been zero indication that this defense even has the chance to improve. It is abysmal. W...

ram1980

Foumena hurt his back on the big fall he took in first half. Was on stationary bike most of 2nd half.
What an ugly game by 2 ugly teams. Pat on back to Tyson Brown for multiple hustle plays in 2nd half. A win is a win.

ram1980

I'm going to be a broken record. This pack line defense does not work with this group of players . It's more like matador defense. Guard drives by our guard. Big comes off to help. Everyone starts running around cluelessly. Wide open shot the result. It's not working Sean Miller according to this cl...

ram1980

My unnerving observation watching that lackluster performance was the numerous interactions between head coach and players that brought frustrated reactions from the players and the same type of frustration between players during some of their interactions. Maybe reading too much into it, but I feel...

ram1980

To quote the guy from the waterboy. OH no we suck again. Why are we playing slow ball. Why are we stubbornly sticking to this God awful pack line defense. Our guards are either getting constantly burned off the dribble or running around aimlessly giving up wide open threes. Foumena only one playing ...

ram1980

Archie needs to do some sol searching. This team is extremely soft and has zero resistance to adversity. You can't teach effort, but you can demand it. Have they tuned him out, because these last 2 games has shown minimal effort right from the opening tap. We may be in for some roster turnover again...

ram1980

Get rid of the damn pack line defense. Scrap it. These players can't play it.. Come on Archie do something different. Adjust to your personnel. There is zero indication that they can play it..

ram1980

We've seen improvement and what this team is capable of offensively. Now it's time to see some improvement defensively. Is this group capable of being a good defensive unit? Unfortunately so far it's been a pretty resounding no. For them to be consistently competitive this needs to change. It's time...

ram1980

Zek is definitely bothered the rotation change, ie Cam. Happens all the time. He needs to accept his role. Green obviously factors in too, regardless of their different positions. He’s taken a good amount of shots away from Zek. Eh, I think Zek has taken shots away from Zek because of his meh to po...

ram1980

My bad. Complain away. Tardiness is not tolerated! We are also beatin their umASS! Criticizing the fans who go to the game by someone who is not there........ A few things to consider: Power was out on campus, RI Energy Trucks were dealing with power line issues on Route 138 near Route 1 in 2 locat...

Impressive win today. Best offensive performance by a uri team in years. Clicking on all cylinders. Nothing negative here. Wire to wire win. Never in doubt. Then drove to beach . Also Impressive maybe not in a good way. Huge surf at Narragansett. Salty brine had what appeared to I be 10 foot high sa...

ram1980

Yes.. 2-0. A road win in the books. Monster game from Kortright. Great rebound by Brown on House's dunk. Double double macine Fuchs gets another. Made Ft's down the stretch.Now find a better press break offense. Continuous improvement looks much better and more entertaining at this point. Kudos to A...

ram1980

Just wondering. What happened to the running rams. Just feel transition offense is something we have shown flashes of being good at. Where did it go?

ram1980

Derrick Kellogg sighting on Creighton bench. Reminded me of all Rhody Jay's much missed signs and Kellogg losing his mind. Game wise Creighton is an extremely unathletic team.

ram1980

Not the day to have flu like symptoms. Nothing like being there for a game like that. Oh well it was fun. Green is a difference maker. Fuchs looking better and better. Great job by weston in 2nd half.

ram1980

Much more enjoyable and entertaining game.. nice to leave Ryan center and listen to a happy Steve Mcdonald on the post game. Thought Fuchs played well. Double double and showed a little more aggressiveness on both ends of court. When was our last big man double double? Kortright huge the last 10 min...

ram1980

We'll see. He is small. Size definitely could be a factor. Had a good 4th quarter for sure though

ram1980

May want to stop recruiting players with injury histories.(Weston, Bilau, Green) Unfortunately some players have trouble avoiding the injury bug.

ram1980

This is all on Miller. This team is horrendous defensively. Their is Noone with any heart or intensity from the opening warm-ups to the final whistle including the head coach. Right at the beginning he was sulking on the sideline. This pack line defense is an f...ING joke. To let unh score 81 points...

This team and program is in a shambles. Tired of making the long trip every game and never having a full roster of scholarship players

ram1980

My concern is how rigid Archie is with his philosophy. There has to be room for adapting to the roster, especially on defense depending on the game flow. In game adjustments just aren't happening. Example, Rory gave him good minutes and energy yesterday, but can't play effective defense. What's wron...

ram1980

Disano touting how Estevez will keep getting more playing time and getting better. Glad we're preparing him for his next team next year. We can't have nice things.

ram1980

How's that 4 guard lineup looking now gang. 11 turnovers, 2-11 from 3, 26 points in a half. Doesn't appear to be the answer at this point.

ram1980

I think the one year sitting is going to be eliminated. Play for whomever you want each year How about current rules no sit first time, sit a year 2nd time with no waiver option or specifically spelled out cases only for waivers instead of throwing darts at a board. There has to be some kind of con...

ram1980

16 turnovers with 9 minutes left. Offensive rebounds galore in 2nd half. 4 guards not the answer. We just aren't very good. Wait til next year

ram1980

Archie needs to prove he still has his fast ball soon. I'm really hoping that we are not heading towards another lost season of disfunction and in fighting. Hopefully the rumors that have popped up here are overblown. We can't afford another reboot. Let's go coaches and players. Show some balls and ...

ram1980

It's straightforward. 3 pts are more than 2. A layup and a dunk are much easier to make than a mid-range shot. The mid-range area is called "the dead zone" ....There have been multiple studies on this. The mid-range jumper is the worst shot in basketball. Maybe so. But for this team the l...

ram1980

Archie just said in presser, we don't press. That's not what we do. The inflexibility of his philosophy is concerning.

ram1980

Whatever happened to uptempo basketball. We cause very few turnovers to get out and run. We never press. I guess we did the last minute. How about earlier to change the tempo and energy of your team Archie?? We're playing 10 guys. Should be able to apply more defensive pressure and keep people fresh...

ram1980

We left early. We never leave early. This one is on the coach. This team gave zero effort tonight. Archie was even pouting on the bench for awhile . No adjustments at least when we left with 1:50 to go. I've seen enough of always Wright. Give Estevez some playing time. Can't believe we are potential...

ram1980

Fuchs vs Samb/Tchikou- I take Fuchs 101 times out of 100. Cut him some slack here gang. Weston- He appears to be what he is. A talented kid that is maddeningly inconsistent. Wright - Seems to be Bassy.2. Terrible on defense. Poor shooter. Only effective in the transition game which we can't get goin...

ram1980

I will admit I don't understand the concept of the pack line defense, but whatever it is against good teams it is totally ineffective. It just looks like a lousy man to man defense to me.We don't turn the other team over that much and our guards continue to get beaten forcing our bigs to cover for t...

ram1980

Stub hub has tickets under $50. Not that I ever want to go to a game there again. Used to love it when they bussed us down from campus many moons ago (with the obligatory stop at wolf Rock liqours). But after a couple of times going as a more "mature" married couple, my wife and I had enou...

ram1980

Just got home and finally got to read the game thread. It's funny how fast the tide turns on here. Definitely entertaining reading. Give Archie credit. He changed his starting lineup in the second half and it worked to perfection. Don't think we've seen that type of adjustment in years. I echo all t...

Estevez in street clothes

ram1980

Given Archie's praise of Fuchs throughout the offseason and allowing him to continue playing despite his lackluster performance, it seems like Archie and the staff are granting Fuchs a longer leash than others. I'm not sure if it's fair, but that's certainly the impression I get. Nevertheless, Fuch...

ram1980

Certainly nothing against the young man. He's constantly cheering the team on and seems totally engaged, but at this point David Green equals Ant Harris. We don't need cheerleaders. We have plenty of them already .We need talent on the floor. What says if he gets his appeal denied he stays here. If ...

ram1980

So much for cautiously optimistic. Hugely disappointing weekend. Same crap we've seen the last few years. Soft as marshmallows underneath Defense is not good and we never change it up. Guards that keep forcing it in traffic and no one that can shoot the 3: pointer. Supposed to be a transition orient...

ram1980

We have to get a 3 point sniper or 2. That's the college game and we don't have it.

ram1980

Very disappointing. Thought we would show better than that. Long way to go.Out coached and out hustled right out of the gate. Northwestern easy buckets whenever they needed it. We reverted to one on one hero ball. Bigs nonexistent today. Big positive, Cam looks like a player and Zeke solid. At least...

Good win. Liked how Foumena ratcheted up his aggressiveness on both ends of the court. Would like to see his next progression be the kick out pass if he doesn't have a good shot, but he was real good. The biggest plus was all 5 players hitting the boards. Much better. I know they want to play transi...

Now that's entertainment, at least for the first 32 minutes. Forgot what a well coached team with some talent looked like. I'm sure there will be bumps in the road as there are some weaknesses, but finally look forward to making the trek to Kingston again...

Definitely more talent than last year's edition. Actually had 3 big men that could catch the ball and should help on offense. Should be a more entertaining team to watch. Cautiously optimistic.

ram1980

come on stop waiting to see if new info comes out or Green gets cleared. Make a decision and live with it....... Agree, is Green that much of a difference? Doubt it. Although I like his game, but…….. He could make a big difference. He looked like he could be one of the top 3 or 4 players on the ros...

ram1980

Bottom line granted it was a pretty much defenseless scrimmage, if Green is eligible the less time Weston and Stewart see, the better we probably are. Stewart plays hard. Just not athletic enough. Weston is the same as last year. Did not play well and obviously was upset about it. Not sure he can ha...

Even Just prior to event not sure of minutes to be played per half. Turned out to be 16 or 32 minutes total https://twitter.com/BillKoch25/status/1712130763372572687?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October And why not a WBB Scrimmage as well as men? Why not let fans see both teams in action? WBB will lik...

ram1980

Obviously more talent than last year especially in the front court. 3 Big men that can score.Right there an obvious improvement over last year.The entertainment value appears to have risen appreciably. After seeing the scrimmage I have put on my rose colored glasses. Green and House especially impre...
