Oh with Harris on the bench too...

Toppin hasn’t scored since Cyril has gone on him.

Can you please just go away?? You are such a loser! You spend every waking moment looking for a reason to rip the kid. Get a life. Honestly.

Haha exactly. Total douche.

NJRhodyFan

I’ll blame the crappy finish on those god awful refs. Atrocious!! Fatts looked like he was clearly fouled on his two 3-point attempts late in the second half, yet no foul call on either. Even the TV announcers were flabbergasted. Harris clocked in the face by Mitchell late in the game, no foul call....

NJRhodyFan

What a total douchebag that guy Bergeron is. Wannabe tough guy with his slicked back hair and mobster persona. Go back to your hole you loser. Your team blows.

I'm coming from Boston and will probably get into Kingston around 5 or so. Anyone have any recommendations on what I should do to kill time? Right now my plan is just to have a few beers in the parking lot before the game and try to find somebody to talk about Jermaine Harris with. Back40 right at ...

There shouldn’t be one empty seat at this game on Friday. I’m taking the day off to drive up from NJ for the game. Can’t wait. Let’s get the season sweep!

NJRhodyFan

How do you beat a good team on the road and drop one spot?? NET rating system is a joke. Metrics-wise, St Bonaventure is not a good team. That may be true, but it’s still a road win in conference. You shouldn’t be penalized even one spot in the rankings. But I guess nothing is a perfect science. Ju...

Jermaine Harris?!?!?! Lolololol. Anyone who has come at me defending him can pound sand. You all were wrong, obviously. What a win. I’ll take apologies in my private messages. You are such an unbelievable loser. You’re making fun of a kid who got hurt, and then looking for pats on the back to boot?...

NJRhodyFan

Well..we’re a second half team. Let’s get this!

NJRhodyFan

What’s the score? The “live” stats haven’t updated in about 15 minutes.

NJRhodyFan

Moved into 2nd place in the standings with that win. As inconsistent and infuriating as this team can be at times, we really don’t have much to complain about at the moment.

NJRhodyFan

That’s a 30-point swing from the first half. Yowza! Big win. Let’s go Rhody!!

NJRhodyFan

I just don’t understand how you can come out this flat in a game of this magnitude. On your own home court. Where’s the fire?? They better wake up second half.

NJRhodyFan

The lack of energy is astonishing. We’re playing like this game doesn’t even matter. Look at the rebounding stats and that should tell you everything you need to know about the effort, or lack thereof. Very disappointing.

NJRhodyFan

looks just like another URI game to me, slow start, missed layups, poor perimeter shooting, missed FT's, bad fouls, bad turnovers. I'm sure we'll eventually make a game of it, but it just the same script game after game yet we keep expecting something different. It’s so true. Every game looks like ...

At 6:03 remaining Cox put Harris in the game for Langevine with Rhody winning 54-50. LaSalle scored a 2, Russell missed a 3P and LaSalle’s Saul Phiri hit a 3P to give LaSalle it’s first lead of the 2nd half 55-54. Then a huge clutch basket by Dowtin, followed by a hoop by Beaty at 4:07. 57-56 LaSal...

NJRhodyFan

:shock: My point is that Harris has turned into an excellent defender and his size disrupts things. He appears to be very athletic defensively and there is no argument from me that his offense is problematical. So, if we buy into my theory that he is a good athlete, what is the reason that it doesn...

From ESPN games to watch: 3. Duquesne Dukes at Rhode Island Rams (Wednesday, 7 p.m. ET) The question continues to persist: Is Duquesne really as good as its record indicates? The Dukes have beaten who they are expected to defeat so far this season, but are they capable of topping the elite teams in...

NJRhodyFan

Cyril currently ranked #9 in the country in rebounds at 11.1 per game. Guy is an animal on the boards, but Obi Toppin is arguably the best overall player in the country. You can't say with a straight face you'd take Cyril over him.

NJRhodyFan

Has anybody here mentioned that Fatts is leading the nation in steals?

NJRhodyFan

If you want a Sunday laugh, read through the VCU fan page. It goes from that they are going to beat us down, revenge, they are going to win by 20 ect.... to complete meltdown. I’ve always said VCU fans are the cockiest most obnoxious fans in the A10, it’s so fun to see them eat crow. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 They ...

So on ESPN.com today Bilas posted his ranking of the top-68 teams in college basketball. Interestingly enough, he has URI ranked #63 and this is even after the loss to Richmond yesterday who he has ranked #66. What does he see in this team that we don't?? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball...

NJRhodyFan

I don't think any less of Dana and think its a shame that he will transfer. Technically speaking Rhody 15 was more reporter than a whistleblower. I don't think any less of him either. He's a young kid who made a mistake. Big deal. I'm somewhat surprised at the outrage by some on this board when Rho...

NJRhodyFan

For a moment, forget about the suspension. What is Dana's future on the team? Is he destined to be our third best PF behind Harris and Walker? I think he has something to think about basketball-wise. Is this where he sees himself with regard to his college basketball career? His best path may be to...

I don’t see any part of Toppin’s game that’s worse than Martin’s. And he brings a LOT more energy. He should be starting.

NJRhodyFan

Good news is that the A-10 doesn't have players with LSU's length and quickness. Our interior defense has been non-existent. Aside from Marin looking horrible, the interior defense (or lack thereof) was the most disappointing aspect of this game. I understand that we don’t have LSU’s overall size, ...

That brick he laid on the breakaway says it all. Get him out of there!

NJRhodyFan

As a guy who has watched lots of Carmelo Anthony, Martin's defense reminds me of Melo's defense. 35 year old Melo. Every possession down you look for who is closest to the guy getting the rebound and putback or the layup and it's Martin. Yeah his lack of effort is discouraging. He looks disinterest...

People have always been crazy when it comes to Langevine. Complaining about his hands, about a couple turnovers, or missed free throws. The guys is an absolute beast. I could care less about the hands or the turnovers. He's not perfect, I guess, but he is awesome. I care. He’s a 4th year senior sta...

NJRhodyFan

Coming into this season, I felt Iike the two biggest factors in our potential run at a tourney bid were: 1) Harris being healthy and becoming an impact player, and 2) Fatts having a bounce back season. I feel much more confident in Fatts than I do Harris. I know he was highly-touted, but maybe he’s ...

NJRhodyFan

Langevine should AVERAGE 16 pts/10 reb this year, with some games where he dominates. And he’s one of our best defensive players. He’s not going to magically develop soft hands, just deal with it folks. He’s a stud and we’re lucky to have him. I expect a big senior year from him.

Bring on Maryland!

NJRhodyFan

I didn't realize this is the third year in a row we've knocked VCU out of the A-10 tourney. Like I said earlier, this is still our conference!

NJRhodyFan

I’m guessing the Evans words to and push of Jeff is that he’s blaming him for the contact on the foul where he got hurt. Utter frustration on his part watching his team go down without him. Evans is a punk. It's basketball, there's going to be contact that results in unexpected injuries. Cry me a r...

NJRhodyFan

They just showed a replay of the altercation at the end of the game. Marcus Evans had words with Dowtin and then shoved him during the handshake line. Cox was there to push Dowtin away, but he was fired up! Screw VCU! They think they're so big and bad, but we were the tougher team today. End of stor...

NJRhodyFan

Did anyone here Dowtin getting interviewed on the court a few minutes ago? Among other things, he emphatically said " We've been disrespected all year. We're here to show everyone we're still the best team in the conference! " I love it! These guys are playing with a serious chip on their ...

NJRhodyFan

thoughts on last night's game -Tyrese Martin is going to be a GREAT player here. I'm hard pressed to think of another URI player in recent history that has his size and athleticism. Yes, I know JT was a beast, but he didn't have Martin's hops. The kid can jump through the roof. He has shown the abi...

7-10 LOL. You really believe there are 9 teams in the A-10 this year that are better than URI?? Get real.

NJRhodyFan

We should be a better situation than both Temple and LaSalle, but it is starting to look like “I can go to URI, but I really hope a bigger program jumps in so I can commit with them and post the news all over Instagram and Twitter.” Exactly. We're clearly his fallback option if something bigger and...

Define “huge”. Is that comment based strictly on the fact that they’re an ACC school? Because Miami isn’t exactly a basketball program with rich history. I bet URI has made the tournament more times than they have.

Duquesne is completely irrelevant. East Carolina, Tulane are completely irrelevant.
