Didn't he say the same thing last time they played here? I don't think its that big of a deal, it's just dumb. Yeah I think we should play all of our games at home to, sure would be nice!

No doubt about that, hopefully the crows helps in the regard.

TruePoint wrote:If the defense shows up we will run away and hide from this team, but it's a little worrisome that a team that scored 50 against Harvard at home could feasibly get that in the first half against us at our place.

Things definitely improved, still barely at 50 wth 3 minutes left to play!

adam914

I seriously think this is becoming Iverson's team in a sense. And that's fantastic for everyone. Allows Hassan, Terrell and Garrett settle more into their previously anticipated roles.

BleedBlue87 wrote:JT is in such a funk with his shooting game. Must be frustrating for him.

He has definitely missed some wide open looks, those are the ones we need him to hit more. But he has also taken some bad shots to, and I think cutting down on those will help in the long run.

adam914

People probably read this board and thought the season was over...

adam914

I think they'll cool down in the second half. They didn't shoot a crazy PCT, but seemed to hit some pretty tough shots. They only shot 30% against Harvard, so I bet they come back down a bit in the second half.

adam914

Wow a technical and it wasnt on Hurley!

adam914

Oh my Iverson just posterized that kid!

adam914

The problem I've noticed is that it just isn't very consistent from game to game. Some games are whistles every time down the floor, and others are just fine. So you never seem to know what you're going to get.

adam914

Oh boy...but what about all that "well look at what Dayton is doing..." talk I have heard. Beaten by 29!! They should shut down the program!

adam914

I was wondering how people would find fault with a 21 point lead. But I knew somebody would be able to.

They were down by 4 at halftime, and still single digits midway thru the 2nd half.... Whatever makes your point, which wasn't a good one. I'm not stupid. ATP, I'm going to ignore you from now on...do the same for me please and thank you. Oh so now we are measuring teams based on halftime scores. Ok...

Cleveland State ended up losing by 17. Hopefully that is less troubling.

adam914

Wait we're still playing the rest of our games!?!?

adam914

If you guys are expecting to get recruits that will be instant big time scorers from day 1 when you have guys like EC, Garrett and Terrell as sophomores and juniors at their position ahead of them then you might want to start rooting for Kentucky or Duke.

TruePoint wrote:We'll see. I thought of Dowtin as a combo guard whose main selling point was versatility and well-roundedness, not as a spot-up shooter, but maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, probably not spot-up shooter necessarily, but sounds like he has a decent shot at least.

I doubt it, Hurley can't recruit offensive weapons I hear.

adam914

From the Washington Post article on his commitment... "While Dowtin marks the fourth verbal pledge to Rhode Island’s 2016 class in the last 15 days, he’s the lone guard in that bunch. The Rams, along with George Mason and Wichita State, were intrigued by Dowtin’s shooting touch as well as his a...

adam914

Fair points, I dont necessarily think Weber's value to that team was measured in points, he ran the offense, was extremely tough for his size and was obviously a defensive standout, my point with Weber is he was the leader of that team on both ends of the floor, who is the leader of this team, who ...

adam914

Dayton has looked like a legit team after losing their best player in Pierre and have blown out Alabama and beat a very tough Iowa team, VCU lost Briante Weber last year in late January and yet went on to win the A10 tournament and take a higher seeded Ohio State team to OT before losing in the nca...

Oh well look at that, shocker.

This just in: People who post on message boards and Reddit are more likely than not to be yahoos. You won't get any relief there, RhodySurf. Not even Reddit will float that truth to the top. My favorite post on there is the guy that says "anybody who followed Danny in his days at Duke shouldn'...

adam914

I agree RF1, I think if there was anything there, it was with the trainer that went out of his way to try and get to Hurley in the handshake line.

Billyboy78 wrote:The usual tenacious defense, yet staying out of foul trouble. No fouls 25-30 feet from the basket. Get some steals leading to easy baskets. Hit open shots. Win.

I hope they aren't calling it as tight as last night, or we could be in trouble with the fouls. Especially inside.

adam914

And there are about 4,500 who aren't.

adam914

Are we really talking about shooting free throws underhand?

adam914

Given the glass house we live in I don't think we should be throwing stones at PCs attendance. That wasn't really what I was doing. I was more pointing out that many teams struggle to fill their building at this point in the season against off-brand opponents. This is my biggest gripe with all the ...

adam914

I am honestly shocked by that line. I would never bet against Rhody, and I hope they prove me very wrong, but I would go huge on Maryland at that number.

adam914

Sidenote: Anyone think Dan's coaching chops have improved over the past few years?? I do. I don't think it's just recruiting either. They have some wrinkles. Some things you see them do or try to do and it's impressive. I agree. It does also help to have the players in place that you feel like can ...

adam914

What is happening here? I think I was pretty much the only Jarelle defender on here the last two years, but this seems excessive. He was a great teammate at Rhode Island, and, like I said, I hope he can play professionally at home if he chooses to. Eastern Kentucky plays in the one-bid Ohio Valley ...

37 points, crazy. Makes you wonder if he would play that good if he stayed

No it doesn't. We saw what he was capable of here. Happy for him though.

I think once the swelling goes down its mostly just about pain tolerance on whether you can walk on it or not. It's going to feel unstable, but I don't think being able to walk on it is any real indication of the extent of the damage one way or the other.

adam914

I would tend to agree if we didn't have 11 in the first half as well, hopefully its the result of an obvious mismatch and some lazy play. True, but digging a little deeper shows the first half had 4 from Thompson, just some freshman mistakes, and 3 from Iverson who was pushing a little early and th...

adam914

Sure, there were a lot of turnovers obviously, but I'm not going to get too worried about some sloppy play that happened in the second half of a 30 point blowout. It happens.

adam914

15 points and 8 boards for Iverson. Yeah that'll work!

adam914

Well this was a fun one! Nice to get a big win under the belts, hopefully some more confidence, and full speed ahead from here on out.

adam914

Iverson starting to settle in some here to.

Really nice start through the first 4 minutes. Jarvis has been the catalyst and that's the way it needs to be from here on out.

Chris weighs in on the free throw debate...SPOILER ALERT: They practice them!

Seems like a game where Hassan can do some damage inside.

If you guys need me I will banging my head against the wall for the next 8-10 hours.

Providence shot 8-18 for 44% from the FT line tonight. I can't believe they didn't practice them at all this summer! What's wrong with those guys!! And PC missed 3 of 4 in the last 43 seconds of the game. Dunn with only 10 points, 3 assists 3-8 FG and 3-5 FT and 3 turnovers not his best performance...

Another thing about Thompson besides the defense. He needs to look for his offense. He didn't look at the basket once today. I know it's only his 2nd college game and it's all about gaining confidence. He's got ability. It'll come. We'll need some offense from him. Yeah like you said, just going to...
