At least Mike Powell gave an honest effort every night.. Minnis not so much...

ram1980

We have to be one of the worse offensive teams in the country.. Can't make FT's. Can't shoot layups. No offensive flow at all dribble dribble dribble and try to go one on one every trip down the court. Getting really frustrating watching these games. Where is the improvement...???

ram1980

Reischel did a great job getting to the lane multiple times, but he can't finish.. He hit 1 layup and had numerous poor shots without drawing any contact. He seems to have some ability, but confidence level seems low... Was hoping the spurt in 1st half against LSU would get him going, but right back...

ram1980

We still need someone who can penetrate and score, get fouled or dish off.. How many times did we get into the lane and lose the ball, or throw up a wild shot. Point guard is a must get.. Matthews looks like the real deal and Martin is getting better.. Going to need someone to get them the ball.. On...

ram1980

Another bummer loss.. The rides home to Cumberland are becoming longer with the close but no cigar..Hopefully some day the tide will turn. A loss is a loss period.. Great effort 2nd half.. Another missed free throw at the end hurt.. No way ref was going to call that foul on Jett.. If X drove to the ...

ram1980

Terrific win!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the all out effort this team needs to give every game. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

ram1980

All the questioning of why we are recruiting point guards.. This game answers the question.. Horrendous ball handling in an otherwise great effort

ram1980

Just got home from game and echo a lot of the sentiments already stated.. I mentioned the Hurley histrionics a few weeks ago. He is costing his team. Another bench warning today and refs are tuning him out. I am sure his reputation is growing as a habitual complainer.. I still don't get why he doesn...

ram1980

not one of the more impressive wins we will ever see.. UNH is real bad.. Still can't shoot and no fire except Buchanan.. Did have one of our pretty ramettes give me one of the burrito t shirts.. that was a highlight.. May be a long league season..

ram1980

Here's the chance for Hurley to prove to us in person how good a coach we think he is... He said it was tough sledding early with personnel changes and no practice time.. There has been plenty of practice time now. I look for improved FT shooting, defense and intensity to make me keep drinking the k...

ram1980

I thought we had a great coach........... some of this is coaching.. have not seen an effective adjustment to anything..

ram1980

I concur that it is time Hurley scale back his berating of the refs.. There was one call he was screaming about in 2nd half where the official was at other end of the court and never even looked at him.. He needs to pick his spots.. The refs are tuning him out and it certainly doesn't help get futur...

ram1980

The only way I want this kid is if he is a pure shooter... That is the number 1 need period end. We are an awful shooting team... Get a shooter!!

ram1980

bring back the twice a year... Atmosphere was awesome... Bet it will not be like that again this year.. Fire that rivalry up again!! Tremendous effort on "D" and the boards.. We have to get a shooter somewhere somehow... Almost every dagger PC shot was a 3.. Foul shooting is disastrous.. I...

ram1980

Another lackluster performance especially defensively... This team is missing "IT" whatever "IT" is. It starts with the coach.. Stop doing things the same. Mix defenses up. Stop the excuses. This team as constituted still has way more talent than last years, but the fire and inte...

ram1980

what good is principle if you can't stop anyone defensively.. The idea is to stop teams..

ram1980

When are they going to play some zone... The man to man defense is horrendous... Every game it has been porous.. Why is Hurley so stubborn??

ram1980

Scoreboard has been wrong every game so far. Wrong players on court. Stats wrong. Pretty weak. Dan Yorke is not good period....

ram1980

2nd half was not just a little better. Much better. Matthews has potential to be a stud. When was the last time we had a point guard get to the hole & finish. Powell still gets swallowed up every time. Not E C. Offensive rebounding much better 2nd half. Most encouraging sign was defensive intens...

ram1980

Think it was said they only showed 10% of their offense during exhibition game.. Exhibition is over. Offensive flow is putrid............ That is coaching.

ram1980

This is a solid game film to show recruits... You can definitely get playing time.

ram1980

whatever happened to switching defenses... 3 games. Can't recall zone being played at all.. Make them hit from the outside.....

ram1980

Dribble, dribble, dribble.. Turnovers. Lousy shooting.. No hustle.. Let's see how good our coach really is in 2nd half. Looks eerily like Baron ball to me

ram1980

That was much better... Some poor FT shooting and unforced turnovers, but best offensive movement of the ball in years More easy baskets in the paint last night than all last year.. 2 Freshman are fun to watch. E C will be fine at the point. Hassan could be real special. Still would like to see Hare...

ram1980

My biggest concern with defense is how easily there guards beat ours at the top of the key to the hoop. Defense really needs work. Offense should be OK. Huge difference in post game compared to last year even though that's not saying much. Biruta and "O" give them a post presence. Outside ...

ram1980

huge size advantage.. I think most of offensive rebounds came in 2nd half when they turned up the intensity after a really lackluster first half. Stat a little misleading as a few trips there were multiple offensive rebounds because of multiple misses.. Biruta, "O" and I think Martin will ...

ram1980

lots of kinks to work out for team and ryan center experience Dan Yorke was poor. Stat board was either not on or inaccurate all night with wrong players on floor and stats not updated. Poor crowd.. Exhibition game good excuse. Biruta getting hurt. He looked to be in serious pain. He may be the guy ...

ram1980

just got my season tickets. If you want to pick your seats you can call the box office and order over the phone. They will tell you what seats are available.... Go Rams!!!

ram1980

thanks for the info. I actually had a call and an email from them today because I have done mini plans the last few years. I know where I would like to sit, so I will call them and order over phone.

ram1980

My wife and I are graduating from the mini plan to season tickets. Was filling out the online application but did not see a way to choose my seats other than a price selection. Does anyone know if there is a way on line to choose the exact seats we want

ram1980

Who cares where these players rank before they step on an NCAA court. As long as they fit into Hurley's system, are solid citizens and make URI basketball better that is all we need . PC people need to worry about their own house. What about their power forward (Henton) that was accused of domestic ...

ram1980

A pure shooter seems to be a huge need. If he can fill it up for a solid 15-20 minutes of PT this is a good thing

ram1980

It would be real simple for DH to say I am not interested in any other job right now... Doesn't need to be Rutgers specific. Have some class and say I came to RI to turn a program around and I am going to do that. Will he succeed? Who knows. It would appear that the 6 newcomers are huge upgrades, bu...

ram1980

If Hurley leaves, this program continues to wallow in mediocrity for the forseeable future. I hope he shows some integrity and sticks to his promises to the school, the fans and especially the athletes that came to play for him and put URI hoops on the right track. In my gut I think he leaves. We ar...

ram1980

Just got back from another frustrating loss... Loved the way AAman played. Very active attacking offensive boards and some decent post moves. Another disappointing day for Hare as I read here that he was disciplined.. Don't know about this kid. Does he survive this regime?? Can the Hurleys get him t...

ram1980

That performance is why it is tough to get students to commit to attending games and people to pay to attend. Looked like a decent turnout for a zero entertainment performance. From coaching to play on the court that may have been the worse game this year. You have to try getting the ball inside at ...

ram1980

Ticket exchange is on website. Can be done by phone, in person or by mail. Kudos to URI for doing this. My wife and I were bummed that we couldn't get to last nights game, but maybe we can pick a URI victory from the remaining games.

ram1980

If Hare stays and that may be a big if, it appears his value will be more apparent when this team goes to full court pressure and running the break. Regardless of the many shortcomings repeatedly mentioned, he is long and athletic. I think his game is more in line with fast break basketball. He can ...

ram1980

Is the type of game VCU played last night what we have to look forward to when we have players. If so bring it on. Maybe we will get back to really being the running rams. Much more exciting style that will help keep students coming to games

ram1980

I would like to see them try to get Hare involved a little more on offense. I know he doesn't show much yet, but now is the time to work on it. There were at least 2 times in the Fordham game when he was on the baseline 3 to 4 feet behind defender with ball at top of key asking for the alley oop. Th...

ram1980

Here's my first post.. Been following URI hoops since 1976.. Long cold walks to Keaney from the dorms. Wild rides to the Civic Center for PC games. Trip to NIT for NC game a couple of years ago. Still attending 4 to 5 games a year with my wife another avid fan.. I am with everyone that we are headin...
