I'm happy that rhodylaw is much more articulate than me. He's nailed it his last two posts.

You can still go about your daily life *and* take precautions to keep others from getting sick. And believe it or not, it's not as brutally challenging as some here make it seem. The one thing I'd like to see more widely available (from cities, states, etc.) is at-home rapid tests. They take 15 min...

What your saying is likely true. However, I don’t see any school administration taking a risk that could lead to a bad outcome. If word got out that players weren’t being tested and one ended up in the hospital, there would be a lot of “splainin” to do. I’m sure the school’s legal staffs have weigh...

Stop testing players. Everyone has it. It’s mild. They’re not around at risk people and they’re not going to be adversely affected. If they’re all vaccinated what’s the issue? Is someone going to tell me the vaccine doesn’t work?? What your saying is likely true. However, I don’t see any school adm...

I mailed the organizer, DC Events, to which they replied that there was never a broadcasting partner for the event.

I’m assuming another year of eligibility will be up for discussion again.

In a few years, 30 year olds playing college basketball won’t be uncommon.

It’s really frustrating that two years later we are still canceling games, events, etc. The vast majority of the population is vaccinated. No reason events should be canceled at this point. We took the time to flatten the curve, we lost our jobs, we changed our way of life, we wore our masks, we too...

I'd like a little more explanation on this... Forgive me if "Completely out of both teams' control" is something I'm not buying right now. Wouldn't this be part of any agreement to play in this game?

RoadyJay

It appears that there's no way to watch tomorrow. I imagined the discussion on scheduling this game..... Basketball Person One: "Hey, let's go play a neutral site game in DC against the College of Charleston! It'll be great and it won't be televised!" Basketball Person Two: "Excellen...

This has been stated somewhere here before but Spectra doesn't own the Ryan Center, the university does. They manage it on behalf of the university and the budget also comes from URI. Good point. If that is the case then we need to be speaking with whoever from the University manages the Spectra re...

RJ Cole is delightful. Now that’s a Point Guard

RoadyJay

I listened. Steve even noticed that Walker and Martin have been two of our very best players and asked if he would be willing to change the starting lineup. NOPE If you are Walker, and you are working towards an opportunity to earn money playing basketball professionally, what are you thinking at t...

When the Ryan Center opened I worked for the game operations which was in the control room for the scoreboards. Yes they have the ability to show replays. I know because I was the one showing Dustin’s shot to win against USC on a loop while the fans were on the court. Just like the “ old “ dancing ...

Tonight I struggled with Wi-Fi, as usual. I thought about the failed light show 3 years ago and the Ryan Center staff and others tended to blame the game attendees. They were not downloading the site correctly and blah blah. Yet at the Dunk the half time Christmas theme light and music show was fla...

We pulled away in this one with El Amin, Martin, Walker, Leggett, and only one of the Mitchell twins on the floor. Throw Bassy in there for Martin too. Let’s see more of this 5 (or 6). I was happy to see Cox send a message early tonight. Also happy to see Sheppard on a short leash. He’s been a non-f...

This really boils down the the famous, are things better now than 4 years ago… No, things are not better... and that's the real crux of the matter here. We had an opportunity to build upon the relevance that Hurley brought us back to. Unfortunately, that opportunity has been squandered. I thought C...

RoadyJay

One thing that used to frustrate me about Hurley was I felt at times he overvalued every offensive possession, like it was gold. Guys would play tight, get yanked if they turned the ball over, and it led to stagnant offense. Cox, on the other hand, is much more willing to play more freely and let g...

Let’s keep having the Mitchells bring the ball up the court.

I’m staying at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort.

It’s right across the street from the Ocean Center, where the games are being played.

Sure feels like David Cox is outcoaching, outrecruiting, outscheduling, and outclassing Ed Cooley these days. Gotta love it.

Disappointing to lose and not have Fatts on the floor.

Going to be a fun team to watch. Lots of weapons. Hopefully we can have an opportunity to see them in person somewhere/sometime this season.

RoadyJay

That’s just irresponsible

This tweet says it all... https://twitter.com/KevinMcNamara33/status/1311022518573113346?s=20 I'm happy Cox said this. I say that because I didn't like the joint statement from Driscoll and Thorr. Why would you come out with a joint statement? The message that sends is that we mutually tried to mak...

Did anyone have their phone out when Gina got booed? I didn't hear the announcement but heard the boo. Just curious, but why so much booing for Gina? Does that really help URI to do that? Wouldn't we want to positively acknowledge her presence? Several were upset that she attended the Brown-URI Gam...

RoadyJay

Why would they put this game during the afternoon when people have to work? Going to be a small crowd i am afraid This was a late addition to the schedule so there were probably not many reasonable dates left to schedule this one. The 4:00pm tip could be to give any players traveling home for Thank...

I try to get to as many games as possible but I live in South Florida now.

I took our Offensive and Defensive efficiency numbers from KenPom and put them in a graph along with the trend lines for each. You can see that the offense has remained fairly consistent (slight decline) during the season. What has really hurt us down the stretch here is the steady and significant d...

Saw Red yesterday at TF Green. We were on the same flight down to Fort Lauderdale. West Palm Beach is about an hour north of me so we will have plenty of opportunities to get together, have a couple Gansetts, and cheer on the Rams.

From our friend Chris DiSano:

It’s a solid accomplishment. We can wait until at least September to talk about how important continued strong attendance is for next season, even if the team takes a slight step back. Good point, Ace. While it's obvious that continued strong attendance will be beneficial to the long term health of...

Over the years I think if I've been critical of Dan, it's been in his rotations. I learned that he knows much more than I do, and is rarely wrong with regards to player development and minutes played (See: Berry, Andre; Championship, A10; Ranking, Top 25; et al). One thing Dan did say early in the ...

I can do both. I can enjoy the shit out of the season so far and also call out the poor effort on the part of the projo. I’m skilled like that.

Ok, I'm not bitching. It's just an "is what it is" post. URI and PC both played big games yesterday. Equal coverage possibly? Maybe side by side articles? No. PC gets a big headline with a big picture on the front page of the sports page. We get a smaller headline, no picture, at the bott...

RoadyJay, I beg you to bring the Cooley signs Saturday. They were the best. We need them Saturday after the comments he made yesterday about the RC. I’m happy to confirm that there will be a limited number of signs for the PC game. I will not be holding up the signs but instead the Ruckus has agree...
