We have a losing record in conference, so it's not a schedule issue

They are crushing Dan. The Boneyard makes us look soft. They are brutal and have turned fast. If Dan doesn't get them in this year and struggles next year things will get real dicey. He has a great class coming in but 4 years without a bid? Ace, just a crazy thought but would Dan ever come back to ...

Fact, not opinion

Cooley said that "UConn is a natural rivalry" and its always tough to play a Dan Hurley team. Lets see what he says after the game Both those statements are true, I don't see anything wrong with that quote. He says URI isn't a rivalry but UConn is a natural rival and you see nothing wrong...

The interwebs is a wide world of everything. Maybe you should start your own forum? Correct me if I am wrong...isn't this the guy who logs on just to bash JT mostly? Schooling everyone on awareness/knowledge of basketball? 1. I've stopped for the most part this year with him, he's been largely irre...

I agree that this is a silly poll and doesn’t look good for the board. Even acknowledging that there is risk every year that we will lose player(s) it’s like people on the board are projecting their own feelings onto our players. None of us know at all what their feelings are towards DC and each ot...

But those things don’t fall on DC. His job is to win games and keep the program relevant. But it's all intertwined. By him not winning enough games last year to get into the tournament and him not having us not being relevant this year donations slow down and it becomes tougher to build all the thi...

No, but all the gains that were made during the Hurley years are gone. It's going to take a while to dig out of this mess. Some of us older fans are running out of time. Yes, we got a little taste of success in Hurley's last 2 years after a long drought and now many fans are restless again. How did...

There's so much negativity on the KB forum. I hope the players realize it's not representative of the overall fanbase. Are we really submitting answers to this question? It's been a disappointing season so far...it's not the end of the world or the program. How does this board not reflect the overa...

At the end of the first half when Tampa only had 1 time out left. Andy Reid called 2 time outs that enabled Tampa to score a TD right at the end of the half that effectively put the game out of reach. I could maybe just kind of understand the first one but the second one when it was 3rd and 2? Why?...

Thank you for the work you put in tracking games each season

I haven’t been able to follow college basketball, including the Rams, as much as I like to this season, so the team might have addressed this, but have they mentioned any plans for that gap between 2/16 and 3/2? It looked good at the time to have that break if they needed to make up games, but they...

RhowdyRam02

That's a great point on how easy it must be to scout us

RhowdyRam02

How bout the coach taking over with a lot of intensity from the bench? It might become contagious. Intensity from the bench? Like Tom Landry, Bill Belichick, Jay Wright. Jack Kraft, Tom Penders, and Al Skinner were as mild-mannered as they come. Nobody needs a coach jumping around like a crazy man....

RhowdyRam02

Okay, did we really GO INTO the game with a gameplan structured around Tre Mitchell? Like is that a fact? I just cant believe that. We knew at least two days ago he would be out right? He appears to pre-determine his line ups before the game. I cant fathom how that is possible. It most certainly ap...

Anyone else lose a bit of respect for Cox after seeing this video? Like is this not worrying for any of you? That he is ok playing Antwan 9 minutes in the first half despite him being the best player on the court, but he will keep no shows like Betrand and Martin there??!?! fucking insane. https://...

RhowdyRam02

Someone last night mentioned that Cox was already looking past this year and coaching for next year. If that's true, why hasn't Berry played at all considering it wouldn't cost him any eligibility? He's got to be looking at the guys that are getting played and saying "I'm better than them"...

......I am trying to see what is coming next; a few thoughts; I think DC has permanently lost a segment of the fan base as result of the season unfolding the way it has coupled with the post game comments, for some he probably cannot recover from these.......now for his future here; games will play...

Walker played last night like a first team unanimous All American and was unstoppable. For some reason 4 other guys played more minutes than he did. Walker played only 24 minutes and it seems was always replaced by DJ who did virtually nothing last night. As previously mentioned a team invariably t...

This team has more talent/weapons than Cox’s first two Rhody teams and will finish with a worse record. Why? Jeff Dowtin. He masked deficiencies in culture, leadership and identity. Jeff deserved to be the first ever URI player to go to 4 tourneys. Cox taking him off the ball was the canary in the ...

We had a 4 point lead with 14:25 to go. Over the next 13 minutes and 16 seconds, UMass went from being down 4 to up 15, a 19 point swing during the decisive portion of the game. Cox took one timeout during that whole time, and the only timeout he took actually just replaced the under 8 media timeou...

I know someone (Rhowdy?) used to track which assistant had the scout for particular games. Not sure how readily available that info is but would definitely be interested to know who had it tonight. Especially considering the comment that they prepped for Tre. I tried to keep track of it, normally i...

The fact that the local media is asking tough questions of the URI coach for the first time that I can actually remember should speak volumes. This is really bad. This staff is over their heads. There’s a reason you hire guys with HC experience. It’s different when it’s all on you. I can't really s...

I think we all know he’s here at least one more year and will get extended for 2 more years because we have to, and then bought out next year if things don’t turn around. However - in the event that we lose out...what are the chances we make a move? I know it's tradition to extend coaches in Cox' c...

The Walker minutes situation isn't just a "hindsight is 20/20" thing either. People were openly questioning it from the first time he sat. Especially considering he had Rhody's first six points. One of many tweets from halftime and beyond. Apologies if it was already posted but it's worth...

I know this is not the time or I need to move on but I really miss Dan Hurley! This sucks and I really feel for Fatts! I'm sure this isn't the ending he scripted. Our three wings are God awful!

You just don't get it. Cox is playing the long game and helping us get a better draft pick, and we're too stupid and ungrateful to get it. Luckily we have some Cox friends and family who recently joined the board around to set us straight...

We are fast approaching Jerry D. If you can’t beat UMass without their 2 best players. If you get WALLOPED by UMass without their 2 best players. Lol I mean just laugh. We suck. This team is way too talented to be 2 games below .500. This is coaching. Or lack of it. Not just fast approaching, tonig...

I mean I get what you’re trying to say but at the end of the day what is there left to prove this year?

It’s not what anyone here wants to hear but it’s quite obvious Cox is looking past this season. Letting everyone get run, probably the right thing to do. If you cared about this game or the rest of this season a lot of these guys would not be getting minutes This may be true but it's not right. I m...

If URI does not extend Cox's contract now, recruiting will suffer, the program will go downhill and URI will be looking for a new head coach who will work for ~$700K per year. We get it. I struggle to understand why you keep saying this. He will get extended because you have to - that's how college...

Cox is one of our best recruiters but that will likely get harder as his non-playoff resume extends. If Cox can't learn how to push his player's buttons, he will never succeed. He unfortunately lacks a leader on the court holding the team accountable. He is also just average as a bench coach. Nice ...

in a year when there has been almost a complete roster turnover, - who's fault is that? No team in the country had that kind of turnover. We lost 2 STARTERS.

Great improvement has taken place since the beginning of the season. The team plays unselfishly, is well discipled, has really hit the boards and is playing solid defense. Looks like they have bought into what Coach Reese is preaching. Better days are ahead. And that's the sign of good coaching, a ...

For the next installment of this, lets take a look at women's basketball. In the 13 years before Thorr Bjorn, our women's team had a conference record of 73-133 (.354 winning percentage) with two winning seasons, two seasons with a .500 record, a loss in the 2003 conference tournament final, and one...
