Jim Baron is like John Wooden compared to this guy.

I used to post here a decent amount but now I rarely even check the board. I have almost completely tuned out the program. Specifically this year with all the cancelled/postponed games. I used to never miss a game, whether that's watching on TV, following online, whatever. Even in the lean years (20...

What’s the full name of the podcast so I can find it in my app?

Why would they get rid of winning %? Does winning and losing not matter anymore?

Weren’t they like number four in 2001 at one point? This is the highest Rhode Island has been ranked in any national poll since the Rams were No. 9 in the Sports Network Top 25 for the week of Oct. 30 of the 2001 season. That year, Rhody reached as high as No. 4 in the country for three straight we...

This was the first game I’ve watched them play in years and it was a great win. One thing I noticed though, and I don’t know if this is the norm with Fleming, is the clock management was horrible. Toward the end of the first half when they had all the time in the world, they were hurrying too much t...

The 2004-2005 A10 was as bad as I ever remember. Had those players not gotten injured and Hellenga come back they easily could have taken the conference.

That 2007-2008 was very talented. Ridiculous that they didn’t make the tournament. They had 7 high quality division one players on that team.

I use this site a lot to simulate random games. In any case they always have a matchup of the day between two random programs. I signed on this morning and it was 2013-2014 LSU at 2006-2007 URI. I know most don't care and this thread will die quickly but I thought it was pretty random that of all th...

That 2002-2003 team would have been better had they played Holm more and Clark less. Same with the 2003-2004 team for that matter. I never could understand what they saw in Clark.

You think this happens with all these people leaving if Hurley was still at Rhode Island? It’s a simple answer: No. They can say whatever they want on the way out. The fact is is the staff isn’t doing enough to keep these players happy. I don’t know what the answer is but Cox sure as heck better fig...

I hate to say it but this feels a lot like 2004-2005 or 2011-2012.

Just so depressing...

Fordham was +3 vs George Washington and won by an impressive 20 points. Was looking forward to Fordham vs Duquesne today.

I knew there was someone!

scine20

The MAAC and Big Sky I believe are still playing as well.

So Fordham won the last game of the season in the Atlantic 10. There's a first time for everything, I guess.

Part of the experience of the tournament for these players, particularly the ones at the smaller schools, is to get the ability to play in front of all of these fans. And also to be able to play in front of your own fans. Take a school like Hofstra, for instance. It’s been 19 years since they’ve bee...

scine20

Any idea who wins the tie-breaker between Duquesne and St. Bonaventure as they split during the season? The loser of that will be the likely opponent Friday.

That's a positive if you work during the day.

I'm actually shocked they ended up winning. This game was so similar to Fordham.

Martin just passed up an easy shot. I know he's missed a couple easy ones but you have to take that.

The game against Temple in the NIT in the first year was one of the loudest I've ever heard it in the Ryan Center. I believe they were up 16 at one point and would have played at home against Minnesota for the right to go to MSG had they won. I remember when the game ended the fans gave the team a s...

This is bad but I don't think it reaches 2007-2008 level. To be honest that team was more talented than this team and they were, what, 20-3? 20-4? Something like that. And they went from one of those records to the 11 seed in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. Think about that for a second. They lost, wha...

Jermaine Harris is starting to master the no-look shot. Too bad the rim and net are not involved in the result.

Coulter was referenced in Peter King's weekly Monday morning column with a quote by the Hall of Famer Gil Brandt. Here's the line: • Isaiah Coulter, wide receiver, Rhode Island. “He’s a guy we’re gonna be asking about a year from now, ‘Where’d he come from? Why’d we miss on him?’ He’s 6-1 7/8, big r...

A lot of that is coaching. I'm not 100% convinced of that. Not yet. Some of these players just revert back to their losing ways if you don't constantly hound them 24/7, they should have learned the lesson after Brown and Richmond, but they only learned it temporarily, and now they are back to squar...

This team just has a lower than average basketball IQ. Not Jeff, but nearly everyone else. I'm not sure if there is anything you can do about that. They forgot what brought them that 10 game win streak, which was learning to rotate the ball to the open man. Today, they just tried to force it down l...

One cool thing that happened was in the 2nd half, a little kid dropped a ball onto the court and they had to stop the game. And instead of throwing the family out (the kid was visibly upset and crying), Dowtin (as classy a player as the program has ever had BTW) brought the ball over to the kid, the...

An NIT run is great in a season like 2002-2003 when they had come back from those three terrible years before them. But this year? It's an absolute failure.

scine20

Does anyone remember the St. Joseph’s or Charlotte losses at home at the end of the 2007-2008 collapse? Today’s game was eerily similar. They weren’t in either of those games nor were they really in today’s game.

scine20

The students don’t care about them getting an at large bid. If they did there would have been a greater turnout today.

scine20

Today was the worst performance I’ve seen by them live in a long, long time. The scoreboard didn’t do the game justice at all. They were totally outplayed. Totally outcoached. I’m not a big Travis Ford fan but he coached circles around Cox today. St. Louis literally ran basically the same play the e...

I’ve always said that it’s ridiculous that schools below .500 in conference that don’t win their conference tournaments are allowed to be in the tournament. There should be a hard cut off at .500 in conference, including the conference tournament.

scine20

VCU better be careful or they’ll drop below 75 which would take away the quad 1 win.

St. Joseph’s 2004. When you have a chance to beat an undefeated team at home in late February on national TV in front of Dick Vitale and put yourself into the national conversation for a tournament berth and you lose on a last second miss, that’s a big deal. Particularly after how far they’d come si...

I figured this was the place to put it since it's about a former player. Does anyone think these two look alike? Derrick Henry/Kahiem Seawright. I just showed their pictures to my wife and she agreed.

scine20

Luke, have you ever picked against URI?

scine20

The biggest takeaway I have from last night is the passing. That's the best passing I've seen from any URI team in a long time, maybe since I've been really watching them in 2002. How many great passes did we see creating easy layups?

scine20

The announcer in the URI game said he thinks URI point guard Jeff Dowtin Jr has a shot at NBA next year he had 21 points tonight on 9-11 shooting there were lots of scouts there mostly to watch 2 Bama players but they must have come away impressed with Dowtin Celts has 4 scouts there I've said this...
