People complain about not playing in the NCAAs since Lamar, and some are now saying they'd rather win the NIT than make the NCAAs this year? Absolutely ludicrous. Nothing would compare to seeing "Rhode Island" on CBS during Selection Sunday. Come on now. One and done in NCAA over winning t...

Trying to make a case for someone else as my favorite player since my freshman year in 2009, I don't think I can. I worked for the team first two years at Rhody, the equipment room my other two years, TJ would always be one of the most friendliest guys on the team. Gonna miss the hell outta TJ! Let'...

Rhody15

Win Saturday, secure the bye, let everything play out around us.

I feel comfortable with our team against any other team on a neutral court.

Brooklyn or bust.

Go Rhody!

Rhody15

Dayton may be even better next year, even with losing Sibert. We'll obviously be better too, but still, Dayton will be scary.

Kendall Pollard is a stud.

Rhody15

Let's hope he was only talking about Gil and not TJ, given the circumstances.

Rhody15

This was one of the handful of games (Kansas, PC, GT, VCU) that I expected to lose. Just win Saturday, forget this game, get a top 4 seed, and make some magic happen in Brooklyn. EC channels his inner Lamar Odom and hits a shot from halfcourt against Davidson in the finals for the conference tourney...

Rhody15

I've tried to give Gil the benefit of the doubt plenty of times these last two years, especially after a good game or two. Then he goes and plays like this. Not blaming him at all for this loss, as this was a total team letdown. Just venting some frustration I've had with Gil. I guess I just expecte...

Rhody15

Woof. What a stinker. EC and Hassan played well, anybody else? Nope. Good riddance Gil. Kid tries and works hard, he just isn't very good/smart. How dumb was his first foul 30 seconds into the game? I've had enough of those plays.

Brooklyn or bust.

Go Rhody.

Rhody15

Game day! Let's continue the trend of having Dayton's number!

4 game winners against them in what, 12 years?!

Go Rhody!

Rhody15

Thank God this game is in HD, the standard def CBSSports is worse quality than any other regular def channel. Go Rhody!

Rhody15

SAME exact way we lost to Richmond, at home, during the Pink Out, in the 2009/2010 season. Keith Cothran missed a WIDE open 3, in the same spot, which would have won the game.

Rhody15

Isn't the title of this forum "NCAAs or Bust!" So yes, I'll take a loss, even a blowout, in the NCAA tourney over a deep run in the NIT any day of the week.

NOTHING would beat the feeling of seeing "Rhode Island" come across our TV screens on Selection Sunday.

Rhody15

Was last night a nightmare? No? We really lost like that? UGH.

Brooklyn or bust.

I'll take this team against any other team in the A10 tourney.

Gonna be one HELL of a conference tournament.

Go Rhody.

Rhody15

To not get disappointed, I'm slowly starting to faze out the chance at an at large bid, which would have been crazy to even talk about at the beginning of the year. I LOVE that we're even on the bubble and I'm HOPING we get an at large, but teams in front of us have been winning, making our chances ...

Rhody15

Ah Delroy James, one of my favorite recent players. No question he'd be in the NBA if he had a consistent jump shot.

Rhody15

Too amped for this game. I'll be at Mews or Rhody Joe's for a few drinks before the game. Can't wait!

Rhody15

If I was a betting man, I wouldn't touch this game. Basically a toss up as we're 3 point favorites at homes, where home teams get 3 points regardless of opponent usually.

Rhody15

This NEEDS to be a sellout, or at least 7500. Absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be, especially with the ticket deals that have been going on.

Rhody15

With us moving down a spot in Bracketology even after a top 50 win against UMASS, I'm starting to think it'll take us winning out, the making the A10 final and losing for an at large bid, unless all the other bubble teams start to falter down the stretch.

Rhody15

Pretty sad what out OOC opponents have done this season. Nobody could have expected them to be this bad when we first saw the schedule.

Rhody15

We have a one of the point 3 point % defense in the country, so I'm hoping we can keep their 3's to under 10 made / under 30% for the game. If we can do that we'll have a great chance to come out on top.

Rhody15

Oregon is on first four out, but just beat #9 Utah at home. That one hurts us.

Rhody15

A second bar right behind the student section would seem to make the most sense. As long as they have extra security there, that place would be packed the whole game. It would be great if they could somehow get a DD Center type bar up in the suites. That would be ideal. But hey, Rhody Pub is a start...

Rhody15

It's a good feeling watching these type of games expecting to win, unlike the last few years. BIG game Wednesday let's hope it's sold out!

Rhody15

Great half. Nobody played bad, Terrell has had wide open, good shots that just aren't falling.

Did anybody else expect Jarelle was going to turn that ball over at the end of the half like me? Lol.

Overall, great half!

Rhody15

Just bought it. Is anyone else's stream choppy/freezing? I had better quality on my phone watching the free Rhody St Joes stream.

It's supposedly on there at 3:45.

Alright, great, thanks. Was hoping it got switched to a free stream.

Rhody15

So there isn't any other free link to watch the game?

Rhody15

Gotta hope we get a free stream for the game!

Rhody15

Is it 7:00 yet???

Rhody15

Put up or shut up time. Protect home court as the favorite.

Rhody15

Terrell vs Gordon will be a fun matchup to watch, both are very good defenders with inconsistent offensive games.

Rhody15

Heading to Mews tomorrow for dinner and a few drinks before the game, anyone else heading there?

Rhody15

One thing that gets me nervous is that Lalane was awful last game, Esho was in foul trouble and barely played second half and we still lost. Gonna have to contain them and hold them under 30 points. Gil seemed healthier last game, let's hope he can stay outta foul trouble.

Rhody15

This article was only stating Hurley will be a commodity at the ends of the year, which I believe is true. Dan will be a hot commodity after each year he is at URI from here on out. That's a fact. Doesn't mean he's going to listen/leave, but his name will be out there after each year.

Rhody15

Miami is in the First Four Out group on ESPN, and just beat BC in double OT after BC missed a wide open finger roll to win it in the first OT.

Rhody15

Mews has gotta be the go to spot that's relatively around campus. Love it there. I wonder if any students who live in Eastward go to Charlie O's before the games?

Rhody15

My apologies TP, for thinking you and Rod shared the thought of him retiring here. Jumped the gun a little bit.

Rhody15

ad hoc! ahhh Dan has a bespoke gameplan for each A10 opponent. Perhaps avoiding the 5 guard lineup against Umass.... I cant even be sarcastic. We really have not lost a bad one. Especially in A10 play. They should be undefeated, but you take 8-2 with a smile We should have lost at Duquesne and at F...

Rhody15

Always tough playing road games, especially against a team who we haven't beaten the past two years, along with a Top 3, maybe 2 player in the conference in Bembry.

Rhody15

So Rod and TP, you guys expect Hurley to retire here? Yea I HOPE he retires here, but am I expecting him to? I'm sorry, but I just don't see that happening. I hope I am wrong though.

Rhody15

Exactly, but 20 years?!?! That is just extremely rare in the college game, which is backed up by the numbers I provided.

Rhody15

Very off topic, but the Dayton game is on CBSSports, which isn't in HD and is just horrible, horrible quality. Let's home it somehow get switched to a better network!

Rhody15

Not saying or thinking that he'll leave soon, but there's 5 coaches out of 351 who have currently been at their school for 20+ years. Just by looking at the numbers, the chances of him staying here for 20 years are extremely small. I'd love that more than anything, obviously, I'm just not expecting ...

Rhody15

at least another 20 years.

Lol I hope you're kidding. I, along with everyone else would love that. But we all know that isn't happening.

Rhody15

Has anyone watched a game on the A10 app yet? I'm gonna be at work and gonna watch it. Wondering if the quality is any good.

Rhody15

"I mean bottom line is he IS going to eventually leave here for a bigger job, we all just to realize this. " Really? Are you a member of Psychic Friends Network? We don't have to realize anything. I'm sorry I don't live in a fantasy world and expect Dan Hurley to stay at URI for 10+ years.

Rhody15

I mean bottom line is he IS going to eventually leave here for a bigger job, we all just to realize this. Now who knows how long that is, but I don't see him staying here as long as some people do. I'm hoping for 5 more years after this year, and that may even be pushing it. Let's just enjoy the rid...

Rhody15

Think Big, We do? That's our schools motto right? Let's stop thinking NIT and lets think NCAA! Even we don't get there, I hope we ALL are at least THINKING, not expecting, NCAA. We've suffered through enough these past three years to be able to just think about the NCAA's. Go Rhody!

Rhody15

I was much more worried with this game than I am for St. Joe's but still, it's a road conference game, and they have a great player in Bembry.
