Dan's intensity is where this program will rise and fall. That is his thing and that is what URI is bought into. I would like to tweak alot of things in life but you can't. Dan is a mad man and I hope that fire brings us a Final Four. It was a young team that left games at the free throw line, in th...

I think if Iverson clearly dominates practice then guys won't care on this team if they have to come off the bench behind him. I doubt he does that and Jared can hold onto the starting spot. He would really have to beat out Jared for DH to put him on the bench.

Tyler Harvey of eastern Washington graduates this spring as a junior. We can dream right?

Talk about a shot maker.

Seawrightspostgame

I think the kids look up to EC and Hassan. EC gets dumped on in this board but those guys seem to defer to him. I think you annoit those two. JT is a natural leader but I don't think you can give him that title as a sophmore over those two. The thing about not adding another post player is we are lo...

Look at how much money the ACC has pulled in from this tournament. Its not football money but it is damn near. Farther they go, the more it will be.

"When PC is interested....?" Weren't they interested when he committed to Fordham?

I feel like some put PC too high.

Seawrightspostgame

I hope Eric P goes west coast. Too bad hes leaving, I don't like the A10 losing talent.

Seawrightspostgame

Teams that score put pressure on other teams. It raises the anxiety level for teams that dont absolutely believe they can do it. Our team buckles or I should say this past year's team buckled under the pressure of trying to keep up with a team that was going to score. Defense is helped by that. IF t...

I feel like refs have been bad the past 3 weeks across the board. I dont know why. They just blow call after call. Maybe our guys should train like Arkansas. They highlighted their workout regimen. Those guys are beasts! They aren't claiming exhaustion over the last month. EC doesn't dominate the ga...

Seawrightspostgame

I cant go through this thread and read it. PPL have been hard on EC all year, which is warranted as the best player. Although I think its foolish, who are we going to replace him with? Melosivec? This teams seniors were who they were. If Gil has a 1st team A10 year then this team dances. Hopefully w...

Seawrightspostgame

Thats such narrow thinking. Compare the kid Harvey from Eastern washington to like Tyus Jones..... What does that say? nothing really.

Seawrightspostgame

NFL guys fight after nearly every special teams play and many of the main plays. The broadcast just cuts to like stats or the booth.

....wish the NFL wasn't brought up. They really have the best product. September September.

Seawrightspostgame

Yea the reality is most kids won't make an impact in the NBA. For Dunn I just look at all the rosters and the elite PGs on each team. Then count the teams that have guys like eric Bledsoe or Brandon knight. You know middle tier guys. Not many spots out there. The backups are often veteran guys that ...

Seawrightspostgame

Agreed and UCLA is the luckiest of the field.

Although I find Xavier to be pedestrian. Something must be said for how many sweet sixteens they have been to. The sweet sixteen is just what they do.

Seawrightspostgame

It's based off just generally following a lot of basketball. I know the 1st round money is guaranteed. I know Napier put a team on his back, won the whole thing and still went 24th with the help of a Lebron james tweet. Being projected to go after the lottery makes guys prone to slippage. Dunn could...

Seawrightspostgame

If Bobby could keep the Duke staff in place I bet he would be fine for Duke. I think he would also be just what they needed. Coach K is old and a shell of the 90's version. I think Bobby would enter that level of intensity and cement the Dookies. Duke is a 1 seed, K has been recruiting sure, but whe...

Seawrightspostgame

Dunn Dunn Dunn, hes really good. Just not THAT good. I think his draft stock depends on the rest of the class. If it is weak he can slip in top 15. If everyone with potential comes out he could be on ice. If you're projected after the top 15 it gets dicey because a few teams will take a flyer on for...

Anybody mention the fact that we lost to Stanford through a series of flukes. Crazy stuff. Then there has been what if with that error for a while. Now just think BOTH Stanford and URI are back in the same game in the same place. Odd, I feel like a FINAL FOUR appearance would have meant everything a...

Seawrightspostgame

People keep acting like Dayton has been given this gift of geography. That is true but to be the "last team in" while still having a legit record and coming off an elite 8 is a slap in the face. Georgetown got away with murder and just barely won. They commit some kind of violation every p...

Seawrightspostgame

Every guy Dayton plays is a good college basketball player. Sibert is an elite one. Their coach is somewhere between good and amazing.

+ they've been home. But they are just repeating.

Seawrightspostgame

Awful call. I have seen awful refing this time around in the tourney. Idk why they let P5 guys switch their pivot foot every play. Georgetown was a hack team. They gifted their win. 55 and 3 committed violations with the ball everytime for them. A10 future is bright in talent if it all comes back. D...

Seawrightspostgame

Luckily pc sucks. 10 left. Give me a break, I know what a good team looks like that isn't elite. Not PC.

VCU was hosed by the refs. A10 is fine. I say that with the view going forward.

Seawrightspostgame

I wish Von B-ron played more guys even minutes. Jamal. Mejia. Not stars but guys that were change of pace. Jamal was talented in that he added with athletic stuff, rebounds/defense before he was scoring big. A team on the cusp of a berth every year could have used more production in spots. Guys woul...

Seawrightspostgame

I think if Wilson played earlier, those teams would have been better. Before he was the scorer, he was a great perimeter defender and fearless in taking it to the basket. Those early years they could have used that. Teams need multiple guys that can carry the torch even if it is for only 3-4 minutes...

Jim B is a NY/A10 guy.

I think that is best case scenario for us because it gives us something to talk about.

Seawrightspostgame

Yes let's see. The committee showed their hand with Texas and UCLA putting them in. They prefer the big name.

Seawrightspostgame

Oh you didn't know? The rose bowl. UMASS will win a national football title.

Seawrightspostgame

Its a win/win, go on the road and dig deep to get a win.

Elite A10 teams go on the road and beat the middle of the P5.

Stay home and raise the chances of getting back to NYC.

Seawrightspostgame

Does Shavon Thompson graduate? :? . I wish. Syracuse's Christmas? We need a guy that is better than Earl is right now, and then we need Earl to be better than he is right now. I think Earl can be better in terms of less fouling and more confidence. When he feels comfortable his offensive rebounding ...

Seawrightspostgame

Can we keep our guys rested here and send Tyson Wheeler to play Brevin Knight 1-on-1 full court to settle this game.

Seawrightspostgame

That team had RPI of 40 and was the highest team to be left out of the tournament.

Sucks those guys didn't get to dance.

Seawrightspostgame

The first time I arrived I saw 4 Dayton women yelling belligerently at a single guy from VCU. It was heated. I was very surprised as it seemed there was one woman in her 50s and maybe 3 others in their 20s/teens. I think they were asked to leave. I did not see any other hostility at all. George Wash...

Seawrightspostgame

Iona is no joke.

Nice for Rhody to get another victory.

Seawrightspostgame

Except Bryant is publicly hostile to that scenario.

Seawrightspostgame

Oh, yea all those guys were alright players in their own right.

I do like the Expressions Elite line that has opened up.

Seawrightspostgame

Is iffy from America??? We used to have that African pipeline with parfait, Mbang, the guy before them(I forget his name). Keeping the kids can build goodwill for future recruits. If Matt Butler is remotely good at anything outside basketball and has any likelihood of staying in RI, then uri should ...

Seawrightspostgame

Only way our team beats the best in the A10 and some good teams in the OOC is if our core four take a step forward each and are healthy. Also figure out how to replace Gil/TJ(which I have no idea). Reischel if he built on everything in his game and became stronger would probably be very good against...

Seawrightspostgame

Things in the A10 are looking up. If nobody leaves early or something weird happens. Every team comes back with a lot of returning players. Do you want to play D Bembry next year?! I think only a handful of teams in the country will have an answer for him if he comes back. Will Fordham finally figur...

Seawrightspostgame

His shot all year hit the rim soft and he was lethal from the elbow area. Was only so much time till he shot like he did in the A10s.

I think his step forward could be the biggest for this team over the summer.

Seawrightspostgame

Iffy?? He could be a big get for Maine.

I dont like for any of these kids to have to transfer. I like any URI student to be able to graduate.

Seawrightspostgame

George Mason isnt scared to go for the splash hire. Paul Hewitt was bad but he was a big hire.

Seawrightspostgame

I prefer balanced recruiting to avoid being like SLU.

Dayton has a 2016 commit already? In the A10. Crazy stuff.

Seawrightspostgame

Anthony Grant was a star not too long ago or at least a rising star.

I Think that would be huge. His big forward that was highly touted transfering hurt them. And Lacy. Keep those two and Bama is in a different position.

Also Billy Donovan ties.

Seawrightspostgame

I agree nothing is promised. URI had a rpi of 40 in 2010 and is listed on a ESPN article as being the lowest RPI to not be invited for that year in a article highlighting those kinds of things. I was impressed by IONA and Manhattan. Iona will be a tough game. I am excited to see our guys play more. ...

Seawrightspostgame

I feel like the A10's seeds always get tough draw with who they play. I also think that an A10 tourney team is usually better than the other regular tourney teams. Like Dayton is really good at basketball. They are basically the same team that went to the 8 last year. They also get to play in their ...

Seawrightspostgame

I think we should have beaten Dayton. Could DH have done something different to win the game??? I dont think so. Im frustrated. To say we have a young team... blah blah. Yea I got it. The team could have danced. 4 points and 40 minutes from an auto-bid. I'm excited about the program and love Dan Hur...

Seawrightspostgame

Nothing wrong with calling out refs for inconsistency. Many times uri had a play and then Dayton had the same type of play and there was a foul call. Remember when the Davidson guy fell at half court toward the end? Foul call. Jarvis g comes down the other side and falls down and no call. The contac...

Hey is the ticket today for both games?

I just bought a few but didn't pay attention. I don't want tickets to the 130.
