If UConn pays within 90 days a lump sum, $1.2M, otherwise, $300k annually for 5 years. If they take the $1.2m lump sum instead of the $300k annually, that’ll tell me that they are going ahead with the practice facility renovation. $1.5m is 25% more, which is significant, and financially would make ...

I enjoyed rooting for Hurley's teams so, so much. I thank him for that. How much love I have for him going forward will really depend on the next few days, and whether he tries to take our current roster players, recruits, and assistance coaches. I'm not sure if that's the norm, but that would feel ...

Need number 1: a SHOOTER! If there's a Four McGlynn out there somewhere sign me up.

If the Rams win 24 games next year, Nicola Akele becomes the winningest player in URI history (92 wins in 4 years)... so there's that to get excited about.

Ramrod

There is no way he's only 165 lbs at 6'8. That's the weight that Fatts is listed at (soaking wet probably, but still). I think he's got a body very similar to Jayson Tatum, so I'd say he's much closer to 200. All that aside, this guy looks AWESOME. I'm all over it if this guy is our number 1 target ...

Ramrod

Serious question, when (not if) it comes to tourney time, who are the teams that we absolutely do NOT want to see? The top 5 teams have seemed so vulnerable throughout the year with so many upsets and losses. I mean, does anyone think that if we had EC and Langevine we couldn't have matched up with ...

Ramrod

Was not impressed when I saw him play. Maybe I caught him on a bad day? Didn't do much, nothing about his game really stuck out to me. Skinny, couldn't shoot the ball, couldn't handle the ball, and didn't do anything around the basket... This post is awesome! What a time capsule we have in some of ...

Most importantly, this will result in more money to the program as a direct result of ticket sales. I'd guess in the neighborhood of $500k - $700k (1,000 additional tickets x 16 games x $35 per ticket). Not to mention additional concessions and merchandise sales. That, plus tournament money and add...

Ramrod

Wanted to gauge what other fans think on this question I've been pondering for a couple weeks. I know my answer, but don't want to influence it either way.

Ramrod

It looks like we'll finish the season averaging over 6K a game. Dayton is already a near sellout and I'd be shocked if Senior Night isn't as well. In that case, Richmond "only" drawing 6K will mean we'll average 6200/game. If that happens, this team and the attendance figures will have ou...

My thoughts exactly.

We have a 2-headed interior solution, 1 can give us offense and eat space/fouls. The other can play above the rim and rebound with elite athletes if he can stay out of foul trouble. Nova the #1 team in the country lacks inside depth. It’s not like there was an allotment of great bigs ready to come ...

Ramrod

Magic number to clinch the regular season championship is now 7. We have the game at UMass, then we have the big three game stretch against all the teams bunched together with three losses. At VCU, bye, Davidson, Richmond. We could have the conference all but clinched on the 13th or we could give t...

Ramrod

Davidson at home on a Friday will be a great turnout. Dayton at home on a Friday will be a great turnout. St. Joes Sr Night, last home game of the year will be a great turnout despite being a Tuesday. The only game that will be sub-6,000 could be Richmond on a Tuesday.

Ramrod

If my math is correct we need to average 6,590.5 per game for our last 4 at home to average over 6,000 for the year. I think we do that easy.

Ramrod

Not sure if we are tracking teams around us in the polls, but #20/22 Florida lost at home tonight to an average South Carolina team. I would think the teams that are slightly ahead of or slightly behind us in the polls would have to be considered 'games of interest', at least as much or maybe more ...

Nevada is right on the cusp of being ranked too. Don't hate that. Of all the teams we played this year I think only Virginia was more impressive to me. Hall just doesn't bring it every night.

Questionable as to whether or not we pass Seton Hall. If we do, that should get us to 23. If not, 24 for sure....

Cyril...3 fouls in about 3 minutes. That's just straight up awful.

I have seen enough Andre Berry for today, thank you. Agree it started out a little out of his comfort zone, but it should be noted that Andre had a really nice game. 12 and 7 in 20 mins = making an impact. I think this team has to stop overreacting to matchups that might not be "Andre Berry-ty...

Fantastic Game! Rhody up to #14 on liverpi.com right now. Not too shabby. I'll be shocked (SHOCKED!), if we don't see the Rams get noticeably more top 25 love this week. This was the game I think the voters were waiting for. Unless they are completely out to lunch which they may be. I think if Rhody...

If Matthew Mobley makes an Atlantic 10 Tram over Elbert Matthews or Jared Terrell I may stage a protest. Kid is so overrated. Go Rhody! 1st Team guards have to be EC, JT, and Jaylen Adams. Mobley is very good (that baseline drive and dunk was impressive), but he's 2nd team let's be real. The voters...

Ramrod

1,000 more fans per game x 16 home games x $20 average price per ticket = $320,000 extra dollars into the program over last year. Not too shabby. Extra in concessions too.

[img] Capture.PNG [/img] I'll be interested to see if we hit or beat our average guess (roughly 5700). They say wisdom of the crowd is typically correct. Mean is skewed a bit downwards by our "Debbie Downers." 5800's was far and away the most popular choice. Interesting way to measure whet...

Ramrod

I'm going to go ahead and trust expected RPI's a little bit going forward. I don't really care what the heights are for the opposing guys, if we are 100+ spots higher than our opponent, and at home, we should probably feel good about comfortably winning the game.

Ramrod

Not sure I'd say their size is a big problem for us. Rhody outrebounding them 16-13, 7-1 on OREB. I think it's simply that we weren't making shots until the end of the half. Still a huge disparity in shooting, 57% for FGCU to 42% for Rhody. Turnover margin and offensive rebounding giving Rhody way m...

In defense of our bigs, it makes things a lot tougher on them when Dan only plays one big at a time.

I remember all too well the days of pining after Jared Reuter, Chris Silva, AFLAK, Steve Enoch... We've come a long, long way. Funny to look at those guys now. 3 of the 4 are barely role players (10-15 mpg, 3-4 ppg, 2-3 rpg). Silva is definitely a really good player as we saw in the tourney last yea...

Ramrod

The PG battle and the second starting Big are going to be the most interesting spots to watch to see how they play out. If JG is back to his old form (healthy, with the quickness and strength back), he's your starter as a Senior. It's easy to forget how good he was before he got sick. The young guys...

Ramrod

Cool, so roughly $200k per year over the next 6 years per game that Rhody appears in.

That means that VCU got ~$1.2m each year from their first four to final four run in 2011... Not too bad.

Ramrod

I've always heard about how making the NCAA tourney is so great because your program gets money for it. I know it gets more the more you advance, since I remember reading about how Dayton's run to the elite eight netted them some serious dough. Does anyone know roughly how much we're talking here?

That's just absolutely demoralizing and crushing. That's the one game we had to have. Doesn't matter what the refs did. Again, EC and KI were just awful. Cost us the last two games, without a doubt. This is an NIT team if those guys can't be better, and it hurts because Hassan is so great and deserv...

Love the kid, but Garrett needs to be better in the 2nd half. Too many turnovers for our floor general. Thompson had to switch onto Cartwright to slow him down. Need JG to settle down and lead us to a win.

Ramrod

EC = Effectively Comatose

This is a nice opportunity to get a win over a currently top 50 RPI team on the road. St. Joes at #45. Would have to assume that would give the Rams a nice boost.

Big win for Hassan, and all our big guys. Hopefully Antonio can figure out how to get the most out of Iffy, Watson, and Berry too.
