This is so backwards. What happened to just having a rooting interest in a team/school? Why are we being asked to financially back the team? Like someone said, the Boston Celtics don’t ask for donations. The funny thing is that we've always been asked to "financially back the team" by don...

Watching this A10 tournament play out tells me there is opportunity for parity in this league. Everyone in the league is an offseason away from being a have or have not. It’s also a extreme missed opportunity for Rhode Island Rams basketball. We should have been in the mix. Rebound the ball, make f...

hrstrat57

Thing is I’m not 100% in on saying we had “bad players” Lack of chemistry sure. “Bad” is oversimplifying methinks. IMO we had multiple legit D1 players.

The results should have been much better.

Attended the (public?) opening of Tower Hill Brewing tonite. It was fun, met some friends and Ivan the brewer - good dude. I had the She'll Have That, an NE IPA. Not the greatest name...but I have to say it did not taste as hazy as it looked, good IPA taste but low on the IBUs and still 7%. That's ...

At this point maybe Miranda just want to be close to home. I expect Providence, Bryant and Rhode Island will all kick the tires at least. If he’s after big name image and likeness dollars we should be out. If he just wants to be close to home it’s worth pursuing IMO. Agree the whole begging for buck...

Whittemore is a fantastic venue.

Foumena to UVM is a move I’d like, could see him in Smithfield. Hour and a half from home for him.

hrstrat57

I voted D.

Players melting down, disobeying publicly and total chaos is how you get a F from me.

I saw some demoralized players at times and some lack of effort but no total chaos.

Duh was the benchmark for F in my grade book.

The packline point is simple. Top coaching has figured it out. Can there be any question Bennett defense this season was superior to URI’s? Crushed - not just crushed obliterated. Just like Rhody was by Dayton and ST Bonaventure. I fear if we don’t move on from the packline or at least mix it up we ...

hrstrat57

Beating the packline has become an art form and there’s lotsa painters out there. I’m not optimistic with Miller stubbornness to try anything else. Go watch the tape of Virginia recently getting demolished by VaTech and Duke. The book on how to demolish it has been written. Defensive schemes come an...

Looking at the prediction contest I’d say the prevailing opinion of the KB forum is we are WAY behind schedule.

Like I said in the game thread y’all are sure you wanna roll this train wreck out again? Not sure about that. We will know in short order if the big time boosters agree with forum members. This has Parlange attention for sure. Our coach in waiting is just up the street IMO. How long will he wait? No...

hrstrat57

So y’all just satisfied rolling this train wreck down the tracks again?

Yeah I dunno about that. Wonder what our biggest boosters in the room think?

Off season mercifully came quick.

We’ll see.

Yeah they had a booth selling SWAG set up next to Tyler Foley handing out the magnets Wednesday night pregame. Target is 3/14 👍 Their website has it published, so now it has to happen. Also, as far as that swag goes...did anyone buy a koozie? It seems like every vendor there at the Ry, ever, is giv...

Honestly I expect many players on most teams to put their names in the portal. Many of those players probably will come back & play for the original team again, they just may want to see what interest is out there? Kind of like players who would put their name in the NBA draft but didn't sign w...

Tammi is all class, we are super lucky to have her. Great coaching job to turn this season around and compete in conference final.

Tired legs sadly resulted in a lotta bricks in this one.

Fierce Lady Spider defense.

Gonna have to commit to the deep ball to break it methinks.

Unsustainable what I saw tonight. Just awful. Really no reason for me to make a long rambling post. Team quit.

What a disappointment.

Mrs hrstrat57 just got a Whaler’s for $5. The hot dog was actually cooked! Talked to Tyler Foley whilst picking up magnet.

No Yorke! Great night so far!

Go Rhody!

(And wifi is working!!)

hrstrat57

Woo hoo
$5 beer, free magnet…

Now we got $2 mystery meat hot dogs

It’s go time!!

hrstrat57

The ridiculous PA volume (and continued paying of Yorke to scream lazy nonsense into it) is a puzzlement.

A lot of stupid stuff we do makes little sense but nothing as much as the deafening low fidelity volume level.

URI Women get dibs on it too.

In my strong opinion Tyson Wheeler is going to be a absolutely brilliant D1 HC.

I’m not alone in having this opinion.

I’ll leave it there.

Back to Who is Archie talk…

hrstrat57

Yeah no chance he brings in Wheeler.

Wheeler is the top candidate to replace Miller.

Ridiculous take.

(Tho 100% agree on Lilly)

hrstrat57

I don’t recall NJ77 getting beat up. Ramster OTOH got crushed. Ramster was bang on with his contest call sadly. What a disaster and like I said it’s unsustainable and Parlange knows it. Our biggest real estate asset is going increasingly empty. Season ticket holder mutiny is crystal clear with 1/2 f...

I don't know if Archie is going to be able to navigate today's coaching landscape, but one thing I do know is that he needs to be able to recruit much better players to come here.

Loyola looks like a pretty decent addition to A10 to me.

He has done a very admirable job stabilizing the ship, 22. He is a good basketball coach. Separately, I thought the school was in serious trouble with the financial rumors floating around it. I have no idea if the school is out of the woods financially yet and therefore their athletics programs as ...

Which is exactly why they built a hockey rink to stick their basketball team in as a afterthought. Hockey is king in the Commonwealth.

Maybe recruiting should include mandatory viewing of the PackLine YouTube videos I posted last month. Hey recruit are you willing to put in the work to do this and only this? Often at the expense of your development? This is what we do here. We don’t do that (or that or that) We focus on packline fi...

We need Fuchs and Green to be as healthy as possible in Brooklyn. Miller can rest them some these next 3 games and let the others battle for Tournament minutes.
