I think they will burn Eaton Street to the ground if that happens.

He's not getting cheered today. At best some may not boo him. The boos when he walks out, when he's announced, they will absolutely be deafening. Again, I'll speak for myself, I don't care that he left, I care how he left. You can say it happens everywhere, it doesn't. But that's my opinion. Whethe...

Pc is going to come out of this much better off then if Cooley had stayed. Kim English has had more five star visitors to PC in less then a year then Cooley had in eleven years. Plus I've been very impressed with how he's handled the Hopkins injury. I think Cooley's best year are behind him an Engl...

Huge difference between contacting a coach and gaugeing interest and actually having contract talks while the season is going on and team is in the middle of a run to the ncaa. I remember when PC contacted Cooley but they waited for talks after their nit run. I'm dure Hurley did the same may have l...

Ok let’s pretend those things are unique to this situation (which they aren’t)…you think PC wasn’t talking to Cooley while he was coaching Fairfield and they knew they were firing Davis. UConn wasn’t talking to Dan in the midst of a historic season for Rhody? Do you recall how we ended that season?...

UConn has not played URI in RI for some 40 years despite Rhody to this day still being the Huskies most played opponent all time by a wide margin. I doubt Dan Hurley breaks that policy If we were a ranked team, I think Dan might entertain it. Unranked? Not a chance. But if we were ranked I think he...

Maddox is a former David Cox recruit, I believe.

I can’t say that I’ve seen many teams that struggle so mightily with running back on defense. On that long pass Ramster referenced which led to a layup if you watch it back you see numerous guys just loafing it. Make it make sense.

bigappleram

A series of mostly mental errors ultimately cost us the game but the game down the stretch but that game was lost way before then. 34-27 Rhody and chance to create space and we played like garbage for 5 minutes. 54-51 us and we miss 2 front end of 1 and 1s and I believe Fou missed 2 as well. Just a ...

The three guys I mentioned were 1st and 3rd in points, 1st and 2nd in assists, and 1st, 2nd, and 4th in rebounds. There was talent here, it was just impossible to see how it would be a team because Jerry D was so bad. Imagine how much different Archie's rebuild would be looking if he inherited thos...

bigappleram

For all intents and purposes Jim Baron executed a quick turnaround and how did that turn out. Inherited the Jerry D dumpster fire and had the team in NIT in 2nd year. I just keep being reminded of the “we will be good when we’re good” from the press conference. Archie seems to have his own timetabl...

Not surprising what our best lineup is…luckily that seems like the starting lineup moving fwd.

Thing is you could ask a random person at Home Depot those questions and their answers would be as credible as this guys. He has no access, no inside knowledge.

Interesting answer about our defensive ability and compete level. Basically owned that it's not there.

bigappleram

Him and some other A10 numb skull called our fan base apathetic and drunk…prior to us rattling off 3 straight and still outdrawing more than half the league in terms of attendance. His opinion is worth diddly.

bigappleram

The talent level is a concern - doesn’t matter how great coaching is if you don’t have talent. We didn’t make up ground against their B and C teams. Compete level is still a massive issue. Tough thing to coach. Look these were our toughest two games coming back to back. No one in their right mind th...

bigappleram

Yep, of course they would. Yup, everyone should know a team wouldn’t fly into the morning of. Common sense. Why should everyone know this? When I flew private for meetings, I didn't fly the day before the meeting. I flew the day of, got off the plane, went to the meeting and then got back on the je...

bigappleram

I think Ramster just listed the 1 notable home run she has hit. Having our title game on CBS few hours before selection Sunday. That is a major coup. In terms of the off day I’m in the same camp as Blue that it doesn’t make much sense. I don’t think it has anything to do with rest for players. It’s ...

bigappleram

I agree with 15. Ironically last two games you saw our ceiling and floor. We hung 90 on Umass and struggled to get to 60 on Bonnies. Our real level is somewhere between that which with good coaching should net us in that 9-9, 10-8 range.

bigappleram

9-9, 10-8 would be a success IMO no matter where that lands us. Then next year we go in as a double bye contender.

bigappleram

Do they normally drive to UMass the day before a game? Probably not but depending on the start time and of course weather. Also I know when they hired Archie, they promised more charter flights but is that always the case now and no commercial. Pretty much. It's a 3 hour drive to Amherst. It's an h...

bigappleram

To my knowledge they flew back...which makes no sense to me. To then turn around and fly to Ohio tomorrow. Why not go to Ohio today, get some rest and get the team focused. Teams do that all the time when the turnaround is so quick. That is what I was thinking, seems like a lot of rushing. Also wit...

bigappleram

Did they fly back or head to Dayton? Why would they spend two days in Dayton? Don't know just asking. Would they fly back to RI today then fly to Dayton tomorrow? We have a Nor'easter headed up this way tonight and tomorrow. Weather and travel can be an issue. To my knowledge they flew back...which...

Jersey77 was probably a fantastic middle manager for their bosses before they retired. All of their arguments just boil down to appeal to authority. No matter how dumb a decision is from someone in authority, Jersey77 thinks it's the right decision. No questioning, no thinking, no vision, just acce...

Not a referendum on the season at all, BUT there were some issues that have been prevalent this season that reared their heads in a big way yesterday... 1.) Most important to me is the compete level. We were simply bullied and out toughed. Our guys looked like they wanted to take their ball and go h...

But those metrics largely are derived from games played without David Green. Am I right ?

Weird stat in this game We didn't have a single steal...how many games have we won where we had ZERO steals? Or how many games have we played without a single steal period? We are dead last or near the bottom in turnovers created and steals. That may be by design but it’s the facts nonetheless. Tha...

What's up with Zek? For a time ,he was the team's leading scorer and yesterday he got only 9 minutes PT and scored 0 points. His play started to deteriorate with the Brown game and seems to have accelerated when he was pulled from starting line-up in the Davidson game. Before Brown, he was 11-24 on...

bigappleram

In 2 of those games (UNH and Delaware) a swing 4 man killed us. Safe to say with Green and his defensive ability that would alter the results. I’d give us 2 more wins with him. And 2 toss ups (neutral v Delaware and at Charleston).

bigappleram

Did anybody notice that we're averaging 82 PPG in the 3 conference games? Yes Billboy. And in last non con we scored 82 as well. All with David Green. Our most important player. With Cross out we needed him to have a dominant game and he did. House scoring 29 on 11 shots is a remarkable stat. We li...

None of the above makes our TV product less embarrassing. Today they lamented about if Cross would come in with 6 minutes left in the game. Like what?
