Archie seems to be inscrutable. I sure as hell can't figure out his team. Solid word crafting there. Ivy League stuff, way beyond state U. Usage of the word inscrutable is unfathomable to me. 😆 Proud alum of the URI class of 1980. I had professors in several disciplines who constantly preached the ...

There's a huge difference between adding UCLA and USC and adding Georgia State snd Elon.

Concerning the merits of the A-10 debate. The conference wanted to have a more national presence. By having a team in Chicago they opened up a previously untapped market. Not just for exposure but also for recruiting. I am very surprised that they have not added 2 more teams yet. I foresee Atlanta ...

Not enough people calling out the horrendous coaching this season. I'm not holding back. Archie hasn't been good enough, period. Highest paid employee in the state He hasn’t been all bad to be fair. And the rams coach is always the highest paid employee. Considering his salary, he hasn't been good ...

Our shot selection (need a descriptive verb worse than) sucks out loud. Watching us defend (not) 3s brings me back to the Jim Baron nightmare. In another thread, someone mentioned that season-ticket holders don't get the free gifts they used to get. There's not enough bobbleheads and t-shirts in the...

Coaches have humongous egos. There's not one of them who doesn't think he can succeed where everyone else has failed.

Top tip only for forum members. If you’re in a huge que on the North Lobby side of the building quietly walk around to the South Lobby. 4 lines (one for students) got in building in 2 minutes.

Call me the optimist, but I only think of the absolute beatdown of a 3pt clinic URI put on them in the 2017 A10 tournament. I always remember Stan Robinson coming out of nowhere to block a what would have been a buzzer-beating layup, also in 2017, allowing us to win in overtime and get to the NCAA....

Was just looking at the A10 (NET 8), the MWC (NET 7) and MVC (NET 9) just for the heck of it since they are ranked close to each other. The MWC as of today has an argument for 5 bids while the next two rated conferences - A10 and MVC - look like 1 bid or maybe 2 if there is a conf tourney upset. Th...

Players thrive off a coaches emotions. Definitely worked with Dan. I saw Archie walk up to Zek I believe and was almost under the basket. Intense. Players thrive off a coach's emotions?

There’s a huge amount of college/nba players who’s offensive careers centered around the mid range. Use it. It’s a greater percentage shot then 3 and less contested than a layup. Pick and roll to the basket also work much better once you hit that mid range jumper off the pick and the defense needs ...
