Martin/Miller Rhode Island / Massachusetts battling for top of A10 would be a dream scenario IMO.

Crank up the local hate!

Yep, the officiating in this game was rugby like. Not to our advantage. Does the A10 have the bottom tier of refs? Why? Regarding officials. I do not think there are exclusive A-10 officials nor BE officials. As examples. I think officials are assigned regionally across many conferences, both high ...

No problem hiding a short guy in the packline as long as he’s fast (laterally fast too) short quick guy can actually be a key component. I don’t think you can easily hide 2 little guys. Pretty sure Miller knows what to do with Hammond when he arrives. Looking forward to getting everyone healthy with...

Is there any chance that we will expand the swath considering its success? Or is expanding off the table? IMG_2235.jpeg There will be no deviation from the by the book packline. We forced 22/23 foot deep balls and minimized Cohen and Cross. Exactly what the defense is supposed to do. They miss 2 of...

I missed getting to Amherst this year unfortunately as it was an exciting game down to the wire For anyone who went, did you think Fuchs was fouled on the 4 foot shot he took with 1:23 minutes left in the 2nd half? It looked to me like he got hit on his body while trying to get the shot off. He is ...

hrstrat57

Got 2 real slow guys Fuchs and Kortright. Defense is much better with Brown but he can't score. I think it's hard to hide 2 slow players in the packline. Overall tho got what was needed to win, neutralized the 2 bigs with the packline and forced 22/23' shots exactly what you want. They made double d...

Fascinating game. Martin vs Miller good stuff. Teams are dead even.

Time for some pigskin!

Lazy transition defense gives up the lead

Good timeout

hrstrat57

Yeah one of the main points of packline defense is to dare them to shoot the deep ball.

We’d be up 10+if we weren’t blowing lightly contested layups there’s nothing wrong with our game plan.

hrstrat57

Hottest ticket around in years. Keaney was packed loaded for bear. Electric.

Macon and the Owls 9-0 start. Dead even rest of contest. Game was lost in first 2m.

Two truly great teams either one could have won National Championship.

hrstrat57

Nobody has any further comments on the packline and/or Rhody MBB execution of it so far?

Kinda disappointed…

Go Rhody!

57 & 105, Looks like some excellent info. I will try to give it a go over but have to admit that I don’t have the mental focus I had in my younger, healthy years. I have to add, one of the great things about this place are the posters who put in extra effort to provide deeper info, program inte...

History discussed here. (Warning this is a deep dive into packline, I’ll post this in the dedicated thread too)

hrstrat57

Well, that helps the basic understanding of the goals and principles of the defense. Are we actually plying it? I also like how packline does have its weaknesses. It does seem to me that takes heady players to execute effectively and real time read and react to the offensive flow. Seems it all star...

If you’re interested in understanding Archie Miller and current URI hoops here’s a good piece on the packline defense. Since Rhode Island MBB will succeed or fail based on how well this defense is played I deemed it worthy of a dedicated thread. I’ll be interested in the comments of KB forum members...

hrstrat57

The packline guards everyone what are we talking about? Have we got intel that Miller is preparing a new defense to cover Cross?

Good online discussion of PackLine defense.

hrstrat57

Rim protection is paramount for the packline as is the elite ball pressure applied last night by House. Brown is our best inside defender IMHO. Last night was the best performance by the packline especially after the first 5 minutes of the game. Looking forward to seeing how the group performs in Am...

I’m really liking the effort from House on offense and moving laterally in the packline.

hrstrat57

Yeah we complain about our attendance

Yikes

hrstrat57

Ok, call me Charmin...I watched Archie's presser, and have watched most of them...fwiw, I don't think I'd want to play for the guy Saw that. Kinda risky to throw a whole team under the bus. Maybe last years crew that was inherited, but Miller recruited this bunch. Dangerous strategy methinks. If I ...

I’m sticking with Miller for now on talent evaluation especially in ball handling. Got nothing against Bassy. Good luck to him. He’s dropped down to a level that enables him to start. Miller would have him buried deep on the bench and likely told him so. I turned on my TV the other night to see Leg...

He hasn’t been all bad to be fair. And the rams coach is always the highest paid employee. Considering his salary, he hasn't been good enough in his 2nd year. The excuses need to end. Puh-leeeze.

Kortright and Montgomery final look healthy. Cool off Clark, clean up poor rebounding and make few shots and we’ll be ok. Miller seems to be struggling a bit today distributing the minutes.

What’s up with all the season ticket no shows in S104?

Good turnout otherwise - let’s not lay a 2nd half egg.

77, usually I always comment about how we played whether or not we won, but right I agree I'll take any win we can get no matter how ugly. We are who we are this season. Which is very inconsistent which comes with insufficient talent. Not going to change a lot the rest of this season. Its wait till...

hrstrat57

I recall multiple clean baseline looks (Shepherd mainly) allowed by the packline as well as multiple blown layups by LaSalle after breaking the packline. Agree with Ramster the perimeter defense forcing a lot of extra passes was greatly improved. I’m still not convinced-still a work in progress. Ove...

Tough gym. Snowmaggedon and big crowd.

Not ready for it. Big step backward.
