KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

I don't think I ever took a class there. My Intro to Film class met in Chafee, if I recall. I did get my car towed out of that lot a half dozen times. Still cheaper than a parking pass!

Last night, in Providence, the #15th ranked team in the country with the best player in the country hosted a local ACC team. Was it a sell out? Nope. Close? Nope. The Dunk was 2/3 filled. It's about the opponent as much as it's about your own team. Of course, it's credit to PC that their bad nights...

Yup.

You have to look at RPI as a long game. What happens to your RPI in any given week isn't that important, because only the number at the end matters. What is important now, from an RPI standpoint, is to avoid losses. Like I mentioned above, we can probably only have 5 or maybe 6 between now and Brook...

I don't think it makes any sense to broadcast a radio show from a banquet facility. It would be very weird to have a bunch of people standing or seated around a banquet hall watching three guys talk into microphones. The whole point is having it at a bar - it is about the atmosphere, not the number ...

The only chance of this changing is a few years of making the Tournament. If the crowds do come it will most likely be AFTER two strong years and not during those two strong years. Even if the team does accomplish this success, the crowd size still might not increase significantly. I kind of agree....

Yeah, no. This is a common misconception. The formula is pretty simple. Your winning percentage accounts for 1/4, your opponents' record accounts for 1/2, and your opponents' opponents' record accounts for 1/4. The games are weighed slightly for home and away, but otherwise every game impacts the ca...

Quote me if you want me to defend something I said. I'm not going to attempt to argue a point that you said I made. The bottom line is that it is all about winning. Attendance follows accomplishment, not the other way around as Jim Donaldson suggests. This goes back a couple of days, but I still hav...

Dune, let me help you go to RPI Forecast. 23-8 predicted RPI 27 7-8 seed 22-8 predicted RPI 32 8-9 seed GO RHODY! RPI forecast is not just the record but WHO the losses and wins are against. lose to a cellar dwellar and it might take two good wins just to break even. Not sure if you're talking abou...

I actually have to agree with Rod here. There is no way there was less than 5,000 people at the VCU game. I have always suspected that the Ryan Center attendance figures were understated. I have no idea what their motive would be for doing that, but I feel very strongly that they have never overstat...

I don't know if Simmons will score 25ppg in the NBA, but I would step over certain of my own family members to get Ben Simmons in green.

^this is some misguided nonsense

Cmon Nebraska. You had one job!

So he can play 4th string point guard? This makes no sense to me.

Right? The Celtics need a #1 scorer. Getting a knock off Marcus Smart isn't going to solve much.

There is more to basketball than free throw shooting. It's important, but you can't make the whole damn season about it. It shortchanges everything else that this team does well (or even not so well) to make pretend like it is the only thing that matters. It's still too early in the season to do an ...

Yes, Ace. But at least he doesn't do sideline histrionics like the URI coach....

That actually sucks though, because as much as it goes against all instinct, the better PC does the better it is for us. If anyone on their team is going to get injured or have any limbs amputated, you'd prefer that to happen before we play them.

I don't know about polls, but to get to about 25th in the RPI, Rhody would have to go 23-8, which means 17-5 the rest of the way. If we lose to either Nebraska or ODU (two games in which we will likely be underdogs), that means 14-4 in the A10. Ironically, 23-8/14-4 is one of the few combinations no...

I love Alicia Keys, but I like her just fine under the criteria I laid out above. I recognize she has a good voice, but that in and of itself would not be enough to interest me. I also like Adele, who I understand is considered a good singer. But there is a reason I enjoy Alicia Keys and Adele and n...

We are veering way off topic here. Who cares if rappers can sing? If the people who listen to that music valued singing, they'd either listen to something else or the voice would be a more valuable component of who is popular within the genre. But the audience doesn't care, so why should you? (FWIW,...

Every millennial likes at least some rap. Many of us also like Zeppelin, and there is a limitless number of things in between which covers a huge spectrum of personal tastes and sounds. My personal favorite musical act of all time is the Allman Brothers. Second is probably Nas. So tastes vary a bunc...

Obadiah killing it today

I'm not going to touch on Woody's comments. I wouldn't even know where to begin. It's just laden with grammar issues. LOL Wow! Can't tell you how impressed I am with you coming to a message board to correct people's grammer.You must be really smart Damn still struggling with the space after periods...

I don't know. It's tough for me to get really riled up about the attendance, which I realize makes me a member of the minority on that aspect on this board. The team looks to be headed for the NCAA bubble, like last year's team was, and the attendance as a result projects to be at or slightly below...

Funny, even during the PC game, you feel when you stand up, you're blocking the people behind you because they're sitting down. As BAR noted, marketing seems less aggressive this season. I felt season ticket holders were valued more in past years. This year, no Rhody Joe's event after the season. N...

Dunne

The injury to EC is definitely having an impact on attendance. Sucks, but it is what it is. It's not even that. Beat Valpo, and if you got the win Saturday there would've been another 2000 people in the stands. I think people are over EC's injury...or at least come to terms with it. Even if we didn...

Being respectful of scoundrels of overrated.

They banned your sign? That is ridiculous and cowardly.

UW is shooting at least twice as well as TCU from the floor, from three and from the line, and TCU is getting KILLED in the rebounding and turnover battles. That is not a good recipe for success.

We played Maryland tougher than UConn is. Geesh.

Iona getting boat raced by Tulsa. Iona will be 3-3 after this game with none of the six games having been decided by less than 15 points. Weird.

It's a good team that takes advantage of breaks.Did Uri beat PC when Kris Dunn was out and PC was playing with 5 scholarship players no.Btw did you happen to notice that same Arizona team without their 7 foot center just beat Gonzaga on their home court.Uri has not beaten an NCAA type team in two y...

nice win....probably best win of the season so far (or TCU). The returning players are starting to look more like themselves, KI is solid, and CT is showing some life. 4 is in one heck of a slump...he is missing wide open shots and FT's. They theorized on the TV broadcast that he is no longer sneak...

UMass and George Mason go down in the A10 tonight. Everyone else (Duquesne, GW, St. Joes, Bonnies and Fordham, in addition to Rhody) all win. Rider trailed at half and led for much of the second, but fell to Wagner on a last-second dunk by Dwaun Anderson. Iona trails Tulsa by a dozen at half. Maryla...

Cover. Nice. We're on to Nebraska.

I think they were doing a little offense/defense with Four when they could. Houston's quickness has been a problem for him on defense. Yes that is what they were doing but if there is no whistle you can't get him back on the floor for offense. I think in this game situation you have to just play fo...

Four is in the doghouse apparently

No prevent defense!

Jesus H. Christ.

Houston goes to a zone defense and URI looks completely lost on the floor, I dont know why teams dont use zone defense on us more. So going to a zone defense Houston keeps players out of foul trouble and gets back into the game. I guess its ok to play a zone defense once in a while. I know that Fou...

We might not score again

Look, I brought it up in response to comments being said about Cooley as if he was better than Hurley amongst all the talk about Hurley and future coaching candidates here. It was meant more as a positive for Hurley than to open a can of PC worms taken so literally. My bad. But I will say that I am...

Are you talking to me? I definitely never said he can shoot it but not much else. I think Four has a tremendous basketball IQ, and despite his poor shooting against PC I actually commented to people that he didn't kill us because he played such a good floor game. The last thing I am trying to do is...

I don't know many PC fans from RI who see URI as another game on the schedule. Some of my fondest moments as a kid were being at the PCC age 7-8, in the crowd as a visitor in the 200s, cheering against URI in the late 90s. But I still was a young kid, watching the Elite 8 run with great interest. C...

I think 5,000 for tonight game....give or take a few.....not great, but OK considering Saturday's result. If we had won, I would have said 6,000. Such is the nature of URI fandom. I would be surprised and impressed if we got 5000. This is more of a reason we should have let in more than 1500 studen...

When was the last game played that PC won in the NCAA Tournament? When was URI's last NCAA win? Why do people on this board even bring this up? Everyone here wants to make the NCAA tournament again even if we don't win our first game. I'd rather lose in the round of 64 in NCAA tournament than win t...

Exactly. Pretty big overreaction with Four. I think PC focused on shutting him down (because he is our best player) and probably helped open up things for a lot of the other guys who played great (JT, Jarvis, and CT). Christion is in a great role off the bench where he can supply good defense and e...
