Since we are yet again devolving down this road...let me be 100% clear: NO ONE is rooting against a coach or player that wears the Keaney Blue. No one wants to be “right” about their critiques of the team, a player, or a coach. Every single person who has ever bitched on this board for or groaned i...

I presume to have the option to have night games. At least according to the website for Meade , they were part of a $4.1M project that also upgraded the field. I imagine the turf cost more than the lights, but it would be interesting to see a breakdown of the costs there, and the expected lifespan ...

Yeah wrong in the Fairweather fans eyes. With that pink hat of yours. Being a fan doesn't mean eating whatever slop is thrown your way and being happy for the privilege.

I wonder if they'll try to find a mid week game in that area and just stay in Florida for the whole week, though if we keep our dates with Seton Hall and Harvard that would make 5 road games, which is pretty heavy.

Yeah because you are a true fan. That supports their program no matter what. Fans wavering in there support of the Mens program is only compounding the problem and the reason we are middle tier level A10 program.

Nice to see road/ROW improvements. Now we need to see a design for a legitimate entrance to a flagship university, to replace the gravestone at Upper College road. It appears that there have been talks about having that replaced, but I can't really decipher what they were talking about in the last ...

Yeah, I saw that too. Really unfortunate. They can call them roundabouts instead of rotarys if it makes them feel better, but they're still the same traffic pattern that people struggle with and lead to more accidents

The fans who bolt after a few games aren’t fans anyhow. Anyone who likes hoops and Rhody will be at the RC next year after a year plus of no fans at games. I would guess most people will have a long leash and be happy to just be at games again. It would be great if those people supported the women,...

You all know what happened when ticket revenue fell sharply in Baron's last year. URI can't afford a half full Ryan every night. Exactly! The "fair weather fans" moved this program forward and got Baron replaced with Hurley. I'll spend my time, money, and energy cheering on the women's te...

Sad, but I don't think Thorr will fire Cox, period. Ever. I wasn't here for the you-know-who years, but was he fired? And, if not him, has there ever been a MBB HC actually fired here? So by your logic, you think Cox is going to: A. Coach here till he retires B: leave here to go to a different/bett...

RhowdyRam02

Agreed the smoke stack is an eyesore, especially with its placement so close to the quad. Apparently there was thought on at least putting university branding on it but was never done because of maintenance costs

I don't think that will be the case. As long as Thorr sees a dramatic improvement and no late season collapse, Cox will probably get a least 5 years. IMO No extension for dramatic improvement. The need for "dramatic improvement" is a direct result of the regression the team has experience...

With our record last season, Cox in a make or break year and needing as many wins as possible, can't say I'm surprised we're in a tournament like this.

RhowdyRam02

Oof. I mean, you can look at the stats and squint and go, "Hey, that's not bad!" But the problem is how the season unfurled. The team got worse as the season went on, and lost to bad teams and in conference play. We lost seven of our last eight. UMass beat us twice. And IIRC, we had a sim...

RhowdyRam02

Oh right my bad. Loads of quality coaches totally don’t pay attention to their team’s opponent before they play them. It’s totally common for all the fans to have a 3 day heads up that the best player on your conference rival isn’t playing but the coach doesn’t figure it out til after the game. Tot...

RhowdyRam02

IMHO the scouting failure and open admission for UMass without Mitchell was a fireable offense. You had a 3rd year head coach, who has been at major college programs for over 2 decades, in charge of a legitimate D1 basketball program in a multi-bid conference, not prepare for (and admit to) the bes...

Rough season came to an end today: 5-22 overall and 2-12 in the conference. A Covid pause during the season to boot. In spite of a rough season, there were some positives.

Today's players may not know the names but they can relate to Bozeman having produced 3 players picked #2, #3 and #7 in the NBA Drafts. From one of the articles posted..............

It's got to be a plus on the recruiting trail when going after top quality guards anyway. "yeah, I was Jason Kidd's coach in college. You might have heard of him" Honestly kids these days might not even know who Jason Kidd is. I know it’s a different sport, but Anthony Edwards didn’t even...

And it's going to depend on development projections being accurate that are always rosy in these calculations and are almost certainly not going to come close to happening post Covid. They got fleeced and I hope they choke on it

RhowdyRam02

Cox needs to step back as lead recruiter and be the closer as head coach. This allows him to do that with Bozeman's DMV connections. I was not a Sutton fan so I'm hoping this is an upgrade. Todd does add a toughness to the staff. This is a fair point, but is Cox capable of that? He should have been...

RhowdyRam02

Yeah I like the Hire as well. The head coaching experience is definitely something that was needed for this position.

Xander could win it. He's due. If Speith could start making putts and shoot 65 or better, which he did [64] in the final round in 2018, he could do it too. They are the only 2 I can see coming from behind. At a certain point Xander is no longer due and is just not good enough to get over the hump. ...
