Best of luck to him! Hope he does well, except if he plays URI....haha!

The Dude

Love watching European club teams play who have U.S. players on them right now! There are some super promising talented players and watching them play together in the Jamaica & Northern Ireland games was special. I am finally witnessing a squad that plays with creativity and with one another. Th...

The Dude

Don't really care much for whether someone is a 5 seed, 9 seed, 15 seed...or whatever. If you want to win the NCAA Tournament, you have to beat each team that is in front of you. Loyola was the better team & showed it. Whether Illinois lost to them during that game or to them in a later round or...

The Dude

I wish Fatts the best & thank him for his 4 years here at URI! He was a competitor. He may not of been a great leader, but he was an entertaining player to watch and I have some good memories of him in the NCAA Tournament as well as against PC. It's just a shame that we don't appear to have a co...

The Dude

I don't like Tottenham's current coach. I liked Pochettino, but it seems he made some decisions that cost him the respect of some guys on the team when going into the top game for the champions league crown. The team seems to be one or two players short of being a top team. They need a change of men...

The Dude

I'm a big Tottenham fan. Go Spurs! Watch them on NBCSN each weekend.

The Dude

Blows my mind how URI could beat VCU & Bonnies, but then still not figure out a way to improve & win more games. I am impressed by the Bonnies defense in this tournament. It reminds me of URI's defense under Hurley...*sigh*. Lofton is solid player for them. I'd love to see the Mitchell twins...

The Dude

Great to see them starting off with a win against a tough team on the road! Hopefully the coaching can improve on their time management this year (last year that was a problem).

The Dude

Recovery for tearing 3 ligaments is going to take a while. If it was just the ACL or another ligament, I could see a typical recovery time of year or less, but tearing 3 ligaments is serious stuff. I hope he recovers quickly, but safely, so he doesn't re-injure himself.

The Dude

Blows my mind that a person can see how a winning successful coach does things & even has the luxury of the internet where one can see all kinds of ways in which various coaches are successful, but yet still struggles to put together a decent competitive team. He seems like a good guy, who cares...

The Dude

It's been a while since my last post. URI looks like a sloppy AAU team. Ball watching & slow to react on defense to players without the ball or who've just received the ball or overreacting on every move by an opposing guard with the ball. No offense. There is absolutely NO offensive chemistry o...

The Dude

Tough game to watch. Glad they won! What a mess. Saw guys making the same mistakes over & over & over & over & not learning from them. Jumping past guys on simple up fakes, while recovering to a 3pt shooter after being out of position. Leaving Funk open behind the 3pt line time &...

The Dude

Time for Rhody to step it up and dominate from start to finish with guys starting to assert themselves, while sharing the ball. Hoping to see improvement on Sunday.

The Dude

Glad URI found a way to win! It was ugly though, but I'll take it. 24 Turnovers 60% Free Throw Percentage (ehh) Dismal from 3pt. Team appeared very undisciplined to me.Very sloppy ball & a lot to clean up. I'm very surprised that some guys like Carey & Johnson haven't found a rhythm & be...

The Dude

Listen to this clown!!! https://twitter.com/i/status/1335376606093860864 Coward. Plain & simple. A reckless coward. Taking his team across the country during a pandemic despite the serious risks to their safety & ducking a rivalry. Shameful. https://media.giphy.com/media/xT5LMQPkLSBsQ38sne/...

The Dude

Very surprised to see DJ have an off night. Went 0 - 5. Ouch. Seems like both him & Harris had a down game today & Rhody still managed to win. Pretty impressive!

The Dude

Rhody looking very deep & talented. It's incredible to watch. I still feel like I'm watching some other team. It's a bit surreal to see this team is as loaded as it is. I've never seen this kind of squad for URI before (only been alive for 39 years). Maybe the elite 8 team with Wheeler & Mob...

The Dude

Given the current depth of the team, which is something he hasn't had before as head coach, in my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if Cox changes the starting line up based on what team he's playing & what match ups he thinks will give the team the best chance to win.

The Dude

Rhody needs to guard their two guards & keep them from shooting 3's. That's pretty much how San Fran. beat Virginia. They shot 28 3pt shots & hit 13 of them. Fatts & Shepard are going to have their work cut out for them on defense.

The Dude

HARRIS FOR 3!!! My man! Not a good thing. It is going to make him believe he should shoot more of them. He has a good looking outside shot - I want him to keep taking (and making) those shots. Makes him such a better player to be able to play inside and out. Jermaine can hit the 3pt shot in warm up...

The Dude

I think we'll look back on this win in a couple of months & will start to realize how big it is. I really think USF will be more like the team we saw in the 2nd half of the game & will really be a solid force in their conference. They have some talented big men & a stud guard in Caleb Mu...

The Dude

URI is getting smarter defensively in the final couple minutes of this game. Jermaine taking the charge! You're my boy blue!

The Dude

Love the enthusiasm on the bench! These guys are rooting for each other & really bringing some great enthusiasm!

The Dude

HARRIS FOR 3!!! My man!
Then sloppy defense on the other end by Rhody. 3 guys under the basket. There should never be 3 guys under the basket like that. Two at most if you want to double team or trap the ball handler. Blown assignment.

The Dude

Carey just got a foul for blocking the shot and telling him to get that shit out of here. Haha.

The Dude

Damn! Jermaine is ready to go. He blocked the sh@! out of that shot! Too bad there was a foul called somewhere. He's looking good so far. They could really use him.

Edit: I have no idea how this got under the Tres Berry thread.

The Dude

Well so far there is one improvement that I see. They are shooting foul shots much better than in the past two games. I'll take it. They're still fouling a lot & defensively they still look a little unorganized(lacking a little discipline) & their offensive sets could use some work as well. ...

The Dude

Really hoping the team starts to limit it's turnovers & begins playing a more disciplined defense. I'd love to see DJ begin to hit more 3pt shots. Sheppard has been pretty good thus far, but they need a third offensive threat to step up, preferably from behind the arc in my opinion. I think DJ n...

The Dude

Not a good performance by the team. They didn't look good at all. Poor decision making on offense & constantly out of position on defense. They still struggle with foul shooting from what I saw in the 2nd half. Time to get back to the fundamentals. Not what I thought I'd see after yesterday's ga...

The Dude

Given all of the things URI did wrong, I'm very encouraged that this team is going to get better each game & will be quite the force to be reckon with. I mean their fouling & foul shooting was pitiful, yet I never thought they were out of this game. After watching this game, I think URI can ...

The Dude

So...given the fact that URI has committed a bunch of fouls & turnovers in the first half with some really sloppy play for at least half of the 1st half, I'd say they're doing pretty good only being down 7 at the half, given all of that. If Johnson hit a couple more free throws, this game is wit...

The Dude

To Mr. Harris:
"You're my boy blue! Go get some against Arizona! Dunk city all day! Beast mode baby!"

The Dude

Fatts Russell, Jeremy Shepard, Malik Martin, Jermaine Harris, & Makhi Mitchell is my starting five, unless someone is injured.

The Dude

We’re going to struggle with Makhi and Makhel, aren’t we? :) Remember the Makh and then you go either i or el. That eight seems right and what I was thinking on the previous page. Berry, Makhel, and DJ seem to be on the outside looking in at 9-11. Across the sport, I think this is going to be a tou...

The Dude

Also, if we win and stay in the top three or so in the A10 there's no reason to believe Chance won't stay committed and attend. Love it! Hope Chance stays with Rhody & we get to see him playing in the Ryan Center in a couple years! Why are we already talking about this kid decommitting? Agreed....

The Dude

Love it! Hope Chance stays with Rhody & we get to see him playing in the Ryan Center in a couple years!

The Dude

Great to hear! Many thanks to the Clappins!

The Dude

He looks like a solid player who has a great touch, especially when finishing around the rim with contact, which is quite the skill to have at his age. What stuck out to me in the highlight video is that he hit his shots from a variety of spots (3pt, just inside 3pt, top of the key, dunking with som...

The Dude

Richmond's Nick Sherod tearing his ACL might aid URI in having a better chance of winning against Richmond this season. That was a key player for them.

The Dude

Hope so. Much needed after Dowtin being gone. They need a good floor general.

The Dude

Oh there is no doubt that they ducked. URI would've been one of the safer games to play in this whole COVID era (vs. playing out of state). URI's team this year looks strong enough to be a good resume builder for just about any team this year in my opinion if there's even a tournament of any kind in...

The Dude

This tweet says it all... https://twitter.com/KevinMcNamara33/status/1311022518573113346?s=20 LOVE this quote & LOVE the Mitchell Twins trolling them in that video! They are definitely scared to play and take another loss for the 3rd straight year. It's not COVID that is for sure. It's in state...

The Dude

Very pleased to hear this! Hope he stays committed to Rhody! He seems like a player with good talent & a soft offensive touch on the ball. I saw some really nice floaters go in the basket, while he was drifting to the side. It's not as easy to do as he made it look...especially from a guy that i...

The Dude

This will be the All Big Hair Team.

The Dude

I also find it strange how prevailing the notion is that college athletes are straight up exploited, like they're getting forced to work slave labor or something. Its not like they get nothing! The one's that get nothing are like the baseball and soccer players. Or rather, the one's who don't get s...

The Dude

I am shocked & delighted that they were able to get a waiver. I just didn't seem likely in my opinion for a number of reasons...many of which were mentioned in this topic already. Excited to see what this team can do this year if there's still a season! Time will tell.

The Dude

Ehhh...guys just push off of one another to create extra height these days. A lot of guys don't actually clear people by simply jumping anymore, in my opinion. Vince Carter...now he had hops.

The Dude

Always had a ton of respect for TJ! He was smart & played with a lot of heart.

The Dude

A shame. My cousin works/worked there. Hopefully it can reopen one day?...

The Dude

At first I was surprised he didn't have a copy of the video of him playing, but then I remember that Netscape was still a big time browser for the internet around 1998, so I'm actually not that surprised. The world wide web didn't have much content on it yet, never mind a lot of videos like it does ...
