Looks like the game opened pick, I see sportbookspy.com has it currently at URI -2, but I don't see it listed at any of my outlets yet.

Let me know if anyone has an extra pair. Convinced the wife to make the trip down. If not I'll grab them on seat geek. Thanks.

For real though, no one answered my question from earlier. Is there any reason reigning A10 defensive player of the year Martin was not guarding Peters in those key possessions? My guess is Hurley wanted to keep Martin out of foul trouble. I guess, but Martin finished the game with two fouls. Just ...

There was one drive tonight that made me say wow, but overall not very explosive.

I just kept texting my dad "why isn't Martin guarding Peters?, why isn't Martin guarding Peters". But for real though, KI was getting killed in the post. Why was the A10 defensive player of the year not guarding Peters? Did Dan not think he could do it and didn't want to expose his guy? Di...

I gotta say, great win, we have much better athletes, but 25% from 3 and 56% from the line worries me going forward.

I thought it was pretty good. When I first saw it I was hoping it was more about the Hurley family in general, would have been nice to have seen more about senior besides just coaching Bobby, also a bit more on Danny. Still cool.

Why would the P5 schools schedule small schools on the road or neutral if they don't have to? and, until there's more transparency around the selection process (har de har har on that one), they won't have to and it's alway$ going to be that way. Do the numbers 'really' say 'Valpo, St Bonnies, St M...

They could add teams so that conference regular season winners would be guaranteed spots in the field, along with the conference tourney winners. This season I think the NIT had 14 such teams, and only 18 at larges. How about they just stop having a double standard for BCS ish (+big east) and non B...

Iggy, it's those two [EC and Hassan] who will be far more affected than the others on the team. I do think they both will understand if and why he leaves, but it won't be easy, especially on EC. I'm thinking the others on the team got the same commitment? So, not sure why those two would be more af...

"IF" all his assurances are guaranteed, and it's written contractually, DH is as good as gone. Call him what you will, but there is NO way he turns down RU. I truly believe, URI will not hire a new coach right away, retain Cox as a interim (see how he does) and go from there. Call it a hu...

John Becker.

I just hope if he goes we dont lose our key players. Personally havent seen anything from DH that makes me think he's an exceptional Xs and Os coach. However, there is no question that he has stocked the cupboard like we havent seen in decades. If you were to tell me DH goes to Rutgers and all of ou...

I agree with many on this board that it is a poor reflection on Hurley and his staff that they could/would not find a role for Berry on this year's team. I'm not saying his the second coming of Bill Russell or anything so let's not get carried away. But... A coach only has a certain number of schol...

Ace can watch Xavier if he goes to Philly for a test drive. Gotta tip your hat to him. He's burned a couple years of making some good money in Europe trying to latch on in the NBA. It's not an easy road trying toiling in the D-league. Hope he makes it even for just a cup of coffee. Really hope it w...

Winnable game if we are healthy. Let's snap that 415 day losing streak as an underdog!

I'm not a gambler, but I believe one of the reasons for not beating the spread, is the number of close games we have been in. Play a couple of games as an underdog close and you will have the margin smaller and smaller as the season goes on. Even Vegas had high expectations for us. I don't bet coll...

We haven't had a solid win in well over a year. This season URI is 0-8 as an underdog and hasn't even covered a spread as a dog. Past 2 seasons we are 2-15 as a dog and those two wins are the only times we have even COVERED THE SPREAD as an underdog. What does all this mean? When we play better team...

Not sure how its calculated, but according to KenPom we are one of the unluckiest teams in the country (ranked 345 out of 351 teams). Hopefully we can change that tonight. If it factors in injuries then I believe it. Pretty sure it is something to do with expected record based on off and def effici...

IF we do win this game. For the love of god please don't rush the court. This game is going to be close to a pick in Vegas.

I agree 100%. Both of these things really detract from the in-game experience. I recently met my dad and uncle (coming up from NY) for a game and wanted to grab a beer. They stayed in the seats, I had to try to watch the game from a 4 foot gap inside the "bar" area instead of spending more...

If this season is lost, why aren't we letting some guys get reps. Seeing Four run the point last night and continuously turn the ball over while having a terrible shooting night was pretty frustrating. If that wasn't working, why not let Thompson and JT handle the ball and see what Akele can do on t...
