Re: Game #35: Oregon (NCAA Tournnment Rd of 32) - Sun March 19

Keep playing confidently but not cocky. Brooks' cockiness got him a tech and 2nd foul that changed the game around.

My wife and I are from Shrewsbury Ma and will be watching at BDubs. Wish had time to go somewhere else but get out of work too late.

Re: Who is the most improved player on this team?

I went with Cyril as he has started to develop a little bit of an offensive game. How many layups do we miss as a team but I am pretty confident now that he can grab a rebound and put it in off the back board. Now I can see him on that end to be a double digit scorer by his junior year. Plus he has ...

Re: Mathews big bucket with 1 minute to go

That dunk in ot in the season finale vs Davidson I think cleared his mind about his knee and gave him confidence in being what he used to be.

Re: Week #14 - Games of Interest

URI used that same play in the nit vs Maryland in the late 70's with Sly hitting both free throws to tie game and force overtime. They ended up losing anyway.

I have 2 tickets for the game sect 211 row J but unfortunately (well I will be in Florida so maybe fortunately) will be out of town. $32/ticket but I'll take $50 total if anyone is interested.

Re: Game 1: Dartmouth

If the students come full force it should be @ 6000. I will be at tomorrow's game (with my 5 year old grandson) but living near Worcester weekday games are too tough for me to go to (like others I'm sure) so it's next Monday and Wednesday's games that I fear will be down to @ 5000.

Re: A10 Conference Schedule - Record Guess?

I'll go 9-9 because I'm not sure when both Hass and KI will get back (my guess closer to Feb than Jan) and although Jan has the easier schedule a 7 man rotation when the games are closer together will wear on this very young team. But I love the heart that this team has (just not the shooting). And ...

Re: Starting 5

I think Four would be much better coming of the bench (what he was originally brought here to do). I would start: Terrell Garrett Martin Iverson Thompson.........Watson (only against a taller team) Wouldn't have said Thompson a couple games ago but he has really settled down nicely and his confidenc...

Re: Team Improvement Poll

For me it's obviously FT's and although the 2nd one could have been a couple of ones I went with turnovers. I looked up at the scoreboard with @ 4 mins to go in the 1st half and saw that they had 9 turnovers already, that's the # you want for a whole game. Instead of 20 points at halftime they could...

Re: Game 2: Valparaiso (Tuesday, Nov 17 10am)

Just want to get my 2 cents in after going to both games. After the 1st game I thought we would be ok without EC and still have a chance to make the dance because I saw a pretty good Iverson and a not bad Thompson. After Tuesday's game I thought Iverson was not only a non factor but a liability on t...

Re: No Line for American?

There is a spread on the Navy game but other than that I don't see any other from the Patriot League. 18 or so sounds right (Old Dominion is 19 pt favorites vs Niagara - similar match up I think?). I'd stay away until I see a couple games (which I will be at and counting the hours).

Re: Will URI be ranked going into the season?

I am a little shocked that we did not get at least 1 vote. There are 49 teams that did - WOW. This should be a big motivator for them (especially for that Valpo game on ESPN - and they didn't get any love also). That should be a great game.

Re: Will URI be ranked going into the season?

They will get 3-5 or so votes and will be @ #32 and a Valpo win on ESPN could get them there.
