Well, this year, they aren't going to increase their win total, due to many factors, none of which are good. So there's that...... That's not even for certain yet, but if it does happen.... I guess that would be continual and tiresome, for one whole years in a row... :lol: "LACK OF DEPTH"...

"adapt" and "adjust"? Seriously? 8...14...23....Sounds here like ServPro ===> "Like it never even happened." By show of hands...anyone that would call that "progress"? I'm just sayin'....I know that 3 year run of consistent improvement sold at least 2 season t...

I have always given Hurley a B+/A- as a game coach.....He will win the games he can, with the limitations he has. I know we will have depth next year, but I am tired of the continual position Hurley puts himself in, with the lack of depth. This has been a repeating story now. I am hoping for a Brow...

Agree studs06, but would add, it works both ways, it's called coaching/player development. To those who like to excuse the coaching because of the 'type' of player recruited, please stop already with the our guys are 'defensive minded athletic types' Preston Murphy recruited Jarvis Garrett because ...

NYGFan_Section208

studs06, you basically summed up my feelings also. We might upset a good team or two, but we're going to lose to teams that before the season started, I wouldn't have thought possible. If we're going to at least have a decent season, Hass has to come back soon and play well. Neither is a given. It'...

Coming from W Kingston...live VERY close to a RIPTA stop...is that a better option than trying to drive in to Providence at that time of day and trying to find parking?

NYGFan_Section208

I wish I could share some of you guys' optimism about this season. It's really hard, though. There has been NO consistency so far in the level of play, even within a single game. Some of our key players are just not performing to their previous levels. FT and shooting from the field is dismal, not ...

NYGFan_Section208

Not without Hassan. The top teams anyway. If we are going to finish above .500 in the league, Hassan needs to come back and play well, and soon. No more than 2-3 games into the schedule, tops. Maybe we have a puncher's chance in NY . Maybe. That's all they need, really. And there's no way you can s...

NYGFan_Section208

I see where our number of assists per game aren't very good. That's because good passes are made, but the open shots at the end of them aren't being made. There's no one thing that we're bad at on offense. We're bad on a lot of things. Just about every A10 game is going to be a struggle. Without Ha...

NYGFan_Section208

Much that can happen between now and then, but...get to the finals in Brooklyn = better than last year.
Hopefully, by then, this team will be coached up to 'anything can happen'.

NYGFan_Section208

Still a lotta hoops to be hooped...opportunity still there to do better than last year.

NYGFan_Section208

ramster, that was a figure of speech. Of course there was work involved to get him here. I'm just saying, that we really don't have enough 4 year players to fill the depth chart. I also know that a lot of other programs rely on transfers to a certain extant. That could be changing as of next season...

McGlynn confirmed the blog's assessment by accepting an offer to become the "microwave" player off the bench for Dan Hurley's Rams. Then EC's unfortunate injury presented McGlynn with a starting role and the increase in PT he always sought. His ambition in this respect was most likely fue...

1) You're basing your evaluation on JR on how he played against 1-team. (He was in foul trouble.) 2) So I guess if you put up big numbers against lower college competition, then you just throw it out. No way he could do that against other competition, right? Got it. I'll tell that to Steph Curry so...

NYGFan_Section208

Agree with the McGlynn observation and add this. The reported reasons for McGlynn leaving both the Vermont and Towson programs was his desire for more PT. Here is view of McGlynn from the college basketball blog, One Bid Wonders , prior to his committing to URI. "As a one year transfer learnin...

Dan has said he wished his two sophomores spent more time in the gym. He can't force them to. A 20 year olds priorities often change as compared to when they were 16, 17. Things like having a serious relationship or taking care of babies do that, as they should if you have children. I'm not critici...

Did I say we should pass on the NIT? I However, it's also a shit also-ran tournament that few ever recall who won.

NYGFan_Section208

Four is clearly encouraged to do so . We are getting the story for next year with all these injuries. BACK HEALTHY 2016! Four has difficulty getting his shot off if there is someone else in the gym that makes eye contact or gives him a hard glance. I meant "someone (anyone) else." :lol:

Could this end up a blessing in disguise if Martin comes back strong?

Iverson will be forced to shoulder the load more as well.

And maybe...hopefully...we find that:
a) someone can shoot
b) he is allowed/encouraged to do so

My girlfriend didn't understand why I was so upset about a team that plays so hard and made a great comeback. The reason is simple..

NYGFan_Section208

The scores of our opponents is interesting but will sadly likely have no effect on Rhody. An NCAA at large invite is now a pipe-dream and an NIT at large bid is looking more unlikely with each game. If URI fails to achieve a good enough record and RPI (20 wins and RPI of 75 or better), I hope they ...

I should say we are on an alright arc. I think it takes experience. Most URI good teams have that. Next year they will be very experienced. Freshmen class I love this year in Akele and CT. Next year continues that and eventually the Rams will be a mature team. Mature teams win. They are consistent....

It seems like every time we leave someone open, they nail the shot. It's a bad streak. These guys that are beating us aren't as good as some of the guards we'll face in the A10. They just can't miss. We on the other hand can't make an open shot, or if we do, we can hardly ever make 2 in a row..... ...

Gotta say, that was one hell of a trapping defense. Too bad we don't have the depth to do it more often. Terrell had a great second half. Iverson had 13 rebounds. He was all over the place, and his fouling out hurt. The double T hurt. Thompson's steal could have been huge, but he fouled. Just not o...

Announcers on TV are horrible. They talk about 4 as if he is our best player. Says the a10 is amazing this year and thinks the top half of the a10 is better than the top half of the big 10 (his exact words). What a fool I think one of the announcers is Four's dad. Hey, that would make$ him a "...
