Not sure if this was posted but I just saw that the Maryland game is at 9 PM on FS1.

This is the first time that an SEC school has come to the Ryan Center. There's also yet to be a Big 12 school come to the Ryan Center. They played Oklahoma State and West Virginia but at Mohegan Sun. By my quick count from memory, there have only been 5 true (member at the time) P5 visits to the Ry...

This is as good a non-conference as I can remember since I began following them in the first year of the Ryan Center.

Here's a meaningless fact that I'm pretty sure you haven't heard before. Brian Gregory is the only coach to win both the NIT and the CBI. In fact he also won the NCAA Tournament, albeit as an assistant at Michigan State. Gregory is just like water - always finds its level. He now only needs to win ...

Was that Baron's last year? I was at that game. I think Jones hit 2 free throws to take the lead, then UMass won. I was beside myself! Yes. It was disgraceful. I used to defend Jim Baron but after that I was done. And then the next year they did the same thing, granted it was on the road. But losin...

In my mind the worst loss throughout the entire era was the UMass home loss at the end of the 2008-2009 season. UMass wasn't very good that year and all they had to do was win and they'd have had a good shot at getting into the tournament. But of course they lost. And I remember listening to the po...

Didn’t they play in this in Baron’s second to last year and get like 1500 in attendance?

No thanks. This is a tournament meant for low to mid-majors, not teams in probably the 8th biggest conference out of 32 in the country.

scine20

Does Cox think that all 4 timeouts carry over into the 2nd half? I have no idea why he didn't use a TO at the end to set something up.

It doesn’t matter how good or bad Rhode Island is or for that matter how good or bad Dayton is. The one thing that remains constant is Rhode Island winning at Dayton. I’d love to know their record at Dayton since 2004 when Hellenga hit the 3 from the corner to win. 7-9 all time there 5-3 since 2009...

Are you going to use the team as an example of how not to play?

scine20

I didn’t watch and didn’t know who won or how the game was going until this morning. But without looking at the score I knew how it went just based on the length of this thread.

scine20

I think the players and fans just want this season to be over. It feels like the season never started honestly. It felt like it started and everything was okay when we beat the best team in the conference and maybe the best team we have played all year in VCU. The umass and duquesne losses just des...

Rhode Island this year has losses to schools in the America East, Colonial Athletic Association, Patriot League, Big West Conference, the last place team in the Big East in addition to the two last place schools in their own conference (who are a combined 2-20 in conference games not involving URI a...

Did anyone other than Cox really have a chance? I felt like it was his job the moment Hurley went to UConn.

scine20

If Martin doesn’t try to take that incredibly moronic reverse layup with a mostly full shot clock the game is over. Rhode Island is losing games this year because of poor situational awareness. They’re also not doing the basic fundamental things. How about trying to take a charge? Or boxing out? For...

How many times does Dowtim have to yell at someone to set a screen? These guys just don’t seem to have any clue as to what to do.

scine20

This isn’t a typical Baron season. It’s worse. At least with Baron with 2 exceptions they were competitive. They weren’t losing at home to some of the worst programs in the country. They couldn’t win big games but they normally won the games they were supposed to. Today was as bad as it gets for thi...

scine20

Why was Cox hired anyways? Were they afraid they’d lose Harris who barely plays to begin with?

scine20

There’s absolutely zero situational awareness with this team. That’s all on coaching.

scine20

This is the worst coached URI team in the Ryan Center era. And this isn’t a reaction to today’s disgrace.

scine20

I admittedly didn't see the game but from what I've seen this year the most discouraging thing has been that Dowtin hasn't been the leader of the team and how he has seemingly regressed. I thought that last year he was the most important player on the team. I know a lot of people probably disagree w...

scine20

This team seems to be wearing down during games. Is it the conditioning? That's one thing you almost never saw with Hurley's teams. Some of those rebounds for Duquesne seemed to be from a lack of effort or focus on URI's part. Again, this is something we rarely saw in the Hurley years.

scine20

This is not a well coached team. I wasn't the biggest fan of Hurley's in-game coaching but if you watch the way those teams played to this team it's night and day. And I'm sick of hearing about how young they are. Is Dowtin a freshman? Russell? Langevine? There's no excuse for this team to be losing...

I think the biggest surprise in those articles is that Hurley lives in Glastonbury. That's at least a 35 minute ride with no traffic or if he goes route 44 with no lights. Probably more realistically 45 minutes. I'd think he would have lived closer. Maybe he wanted to live in the same town as Bob B...

The last time the football team had a good year, 2001, they won the first game as I would assume heavy underdogs at Delaware on the first Thursday night of the season. Ironically also August 30th.

scine20

I hope the Leg-humpers go 0-30 every year. Unless they play that hideous, disgusting institution in the old mental hospital, in which case I want to see a double forfeit. Screw Hurley. I would absolutely root for Providence to beat UConn. Maybe my mind will change in time but the whole process of H...

I would think the fact that he's staying in RI in the summer, at least according to that one source, has to be kind of awkward for him.

Whatever TP, I know you'd be intrigued by what Slicky could do here. Got a ton of respect for Cox and wouldn't at all be disappointed to see him get a shot at keeping the ball rolling, but I bet Slick could keep the recruits signed on as well. No, I wouldn’t. I would be out and I’d never come back....

Hurley's nuts. I'm listening to the interview and he thinks UConn has the best brand in college basketball? WTF is he talking about? Does he still think they're in the Big East and in the same conference with the likes of Syracuse, Louisville, Villanova, Georgetown, etc? Does he not realize that hal...

I'd be very interested in Beilein's son. I think that John Beilein is one of the best coaches in the country.

scine20

Very good interview. He was clearly very emotional. He mentioned how URI has a lot of good young players on the team and coming in and that they should be okay. Does that mean he won't be trying to get those players to come to UConn? I guess if he doesn't take those players away I will feel a little...

scine20

then you aren't seeing clearly UConn is in a conference comparable to URI's. UConn is in a terrible location. There is no room to grow at UConn as if you win great they already won 4 times without you. I look at UConn as a no-win situation. I felt all along that it was a terrible job and am honestl...

I hope Hurley enjoys his annual trips to Wichita, Tulsa and middle of nowhere Greenville, NC.

When Hurley was hired, we used to talk about "Buzz" Penders had buzz Skinner, after about a 4 year rebuilding, had some buzz Harrick had buzz DeGregorio had no buzz Baron had no buzz Hurley had buzz Does this upcoming hire have Buzz? Does it excite anyone who isn't close to the Athletics ...

This Tom Moore thing sounds a bit fishy to me. Moore said that he called Hurley when he was fired from Quinnipiac to ask for a job on his staff. It seems to me like Moore's sole purpose was to get Hurley to UConn. And then you hear the rumors about Calhoun attending practice and spending time with H...

People take the 10 second rule before posting nasty stuff. if someone said to you 6 years ago that he would do what he did and then left, everyone would have signed up. yes it hurts, yes it sucks but we need to move on and thank the guy for getting us to this point. It's not about him leaving. It's...

scine20

I am extremely disappointed in Hurley. As a URI fan you should feel duped. He's a complete hypocrite and you should never take anything he says as having meaning anymore. It would be one thing if he had left to go to, say, Xavier. Or even Pitt. Neither school has NCAA issues. Both are in good confer...
