All I hear about is the waste at the UNiversity. As I send a check up there about every other month. If every kid who had academic challenges quit,no school would have an athletic program.

Found this on CBSSports as one of the 30 best games before Christmas: Saturday, Dec. 5: Providence (42) at Rhode Island (34). Few venues will rival that nut house-like vibe that will be happening at the Ryan Center when this game is played. Let's remember that Providence has Kris Dunn, who I think ...

Not to get off topic, but Holton is still in school? He's one of these guys who seem like they've played 8 seasons of college hoops.

Best of luck to Iffy moving forward.

I'm not sure what the spread would be, but if it's 14, I'd bet my life on URI covering.

I like the way that bracket unfolded, I'm not as high on UNC this season as most are. Would love to see us beat Shaka in the first round and then pull an upset on UNC in the round of 32.

I would sign up for that seed and placement in a heartbeat

Agree with Ramster. I'm all for creating a hostile environment for opponents, however it should always be restricted to the court. IMO bringing up off-the-court issues by the students is not a good representation of the university.

For as good Hass has been so far in his career, (IMHO) he was noticeably better last night than I think we've seen before. Not necessarily in terms of results, but the confidence he played with. He looked so comfortable on the offensive end and looks like he is really trusting his natural athleticis...

PC is getting killed right now on this show about the Austin kid. They do look better than Oregon. Admittedly, I never really followed the incident and only know the very basics, but didn't PC kick Austin out of school for this? I can understand Oregon getting killed for bringing him in after the f...

Shaolin Swat

I think we'll probably take a step back defensively, but should more than be able to offset it with improved offensive efficiency. It will be interesting to see how tightly fouls are called and how it impacts us on both ends of the floor. I'd have to think that the way the game is called will affect...

Shaolin Swat

Agreed, I think Iverson will get first shot at the starting spot.

Another dose of much needed humility to our friends at Friartown. The fans on their board cannot figure out why bball recruit studs have not formed a line to be able to play with Kris Dunn and for Cooley who they are convinced "walks on water". Their fans were very critical of the "b...

This seems surprising to me. Does anyone know what their average attendance has been over the last couple of seasons?

Agree, Bembry should be a lot higher than 92.

Not sure if this will just get buried or if this is worthy of being pinned to the top as a reference, but between standard rivalry matchups, the press release announcing our non-conference schedule for the upcoming season and some well informed rumors, we already have the beginnings of our 2016-17 ...

I'm pretty sure I'm driving everyone crazy at work with how much I talk about this team

Shaolin Swat

Generally speaking, I put more stock into the KenPom rankings during the season than other statistical rankings. However, I don't really put any stock into this either as it doesn't have any statistical data from this season to base the rankings off of. At this point, the KenPom rankings as much val...

A Soph as a captain on an experienced time makes no sense to me. To be fair, this team doesn't have an experienced senior class. The class with the most experience is the junior class. At the open practice, it looked like Jared was the vocal leader of the squad, constantly pushing guys to work hard...

Caught the very end of it this morning. Looked like a great atmosphere and a lot of excitement. I love looking at the signs and I thought that this week's signs were, by far, the best of the year. Kudos to JMU

Shaolin Swat

I would think that Jared Terrell is a captain this year, he seems like the emotional leader of this team. Him, EC and Hass would be my guess.

As someone who has been a fan of, as well as observed URI basketball since the early 1980's, I am more concerned about what Dan thinks of our 'fans' support once we are successful consistently. None of you qualify for the 'band-wagoners' I have seen from afar as well as witnessed while living on ca...

I've been waiting to see this one for a little while

Wow, didn't realize that I was in at the very beginning of the mob. I could be wrong twisted, but didn't the mob begin its recruiting efforts that year beginning with the football games? That whole first few weeks of college was such as blur that I could be mixing up my memory.

If a URI student REALLY wanted to make certain they got a ticket to the PC game, I would suggest you actually buy a ticket today to the game. This is one game where waiting to get in for the reserved student seating may not work out. My student nephew did not get in two years ago as many were turne...

That is so hard to read with that background. Maybe that's why that dude has to make up what he sees at games- poor eye sight. (Yes, still bitter! I'm ridiculous, I know.) How does that Richmond guy say that URI is overrated and also pick them to win the tournament? Also, I think they slightly over...

Only need the basketball exclusive facility if that is a must. I dont think it is with the SADC and the Ryan. Like kids rather not practice in the Ryan? 24 access?

Obviously it's pure speculation, but I actually think EC is going to score slightly less this season. I can see an uptick in points per game from Jarvis and JT, as a result of their year 1 to year 2 development and how their shots come along. I can also see an uptick in points for Hass, since with t...

Hopefully Lamar is able to come through this. He was my introduction to URI basketball and the main reason why I've followed the team so closely since that 98-99 season. That being said, I understand that this is bigger than just basketball and I hope, for Lamar and especially for his kids, that he ...

Is there any chance Hassan is being looked at by the NBA after his junior season? My guess is that it is an extremely slim chance, but I doubt he'd be getting enough attention to think about leaving school early. For that to happen, I think he'd have to show a pretty strong perimeter game to go wit...

I don't really have an issue with how things are going with the Murphy family. From the Murphy's perspective, I have no issues with a player wanting to go to a top program like Florida or Duke instead of their local school. It's not like they refuse to consider URI and are going to a different mid-m...

i think everyone above hit the nail on the head. All I'll add is that I think Jared Terrell is going to have a huge season, looked like he could do anything on the court today. He was a monster on offense and defense and seemed like the vocal leader on the team.

Goosebumps all over. Can the season start already?

Don't really have an issue with these rankings, they seem pretty fair. Hopefully, we are at the top of the list the entire season.

I wish we had just one more scholly just so we could have played it out with Marfo to the end. Not only because he's a tough, hard-nosed, skilled big man, and a good kid, but just to out recruit PC one more time and watch their over the edge reaction. As enjoyable as it would be to see that happen,...

It was pretty well-documented about Ponds and his parents. Ponds had been telling many people be was headed to SJU, but his mom liked Cooley and his dad loved Shamm and the PG development.

It will be very interesting to see not only how this ultimately plays out this season, but how it affects SMU's recruiting and Larry Brown's future there. If the sanctions are upheld, I don't know if I see Brown wanting to coach with a scholarship restriction over the next couple of years.
