Cox hired Carroll and Sutton because he gave more weight to player development and scouting than recruiting. why would he want to dump Carroll after 1 year? Did you think that player development and scouting were strengths for URI during the portion of the season that Carroll was on the bench? I de...

His team needs to be in a different league... There are 34 teams in the Summer League. Each Team plays 10 games. Not sure how the 10 opponents are selected 3 of the last 4 games for Barons are against teams that have not won a game yet and are a combined (0-17) To date the performance of the teams ...

Okay, so, back to Zaire.... I think URI’s offer to him was one of those “offers”. Who is the lead in Wade’s recruitment? Sutton? How good is Wade really? He holds offers from just URI and DePaul, not sure about the Nebraska offer was that Miles or Hoiberg? I guess Michigan could make some sense bas...

The NYC high school and AAU contingent is being very loud in favor of Cluess, based on what he has done it's very odd he hasn't had a sniff from a bigger program before St John's...that would be a red flag to me. Do we know he has never had a sniff from a bigger program before? Just from looking at...

I think most reasonable URI fans thought that this year's team was NOT an NCAA Tournament team, and the hope was they'd be on the fringe of the NIT. And that's pretty much what they were. We were absolutely not on the fringe of the NIT. Just call it what it was - a mostly crappy season with an enco...

Agreed. It looks kind of silly but I feel like it’s better than one guy holding the ball for 10 seconds while everyone else stands around.

There is awful shit all over the internet. If you don't like it, don't read it. I don't get what the big deal is. I'm sorry, but I don't agree. Also, I take all things serious because when you turn your cheek, you open the possibility of unintended consequences. I prefer the eloquent observations t...

I thought we played pretty well given what we’ve seen recently. If we could have limited our turnovers it could have easily been a one or two possession game at the end even with how well Davidson shot the ball.

January 2017 --- According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN, Coach K invited players over to his house for a team meeting earlier this week as he continues to mend from that back surgery. While there, he informed players that they’ve been kicked out of the locker room, and also forbidden to wear Blue Devils...

How is it a privilege to wear practice gear? Can you imagine how terrible it would look if you showed up at a spring training workout and the team was wearing all different hats and gear? I mean seriously, we're the freaking URI basketball team! January 2017 --- According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN, C...

Besides needing some refreshing rhody memories, I'm glad someone noticed that Fatts was a different shooter. Cast and coaching aside, I don't buy that he was on;y a good shooter because of the confidence boost this team gave him. He hit big shot after big shot, throughout most of the season. Even h...

Time for Cox to go. Wait too long and you lose any momentum Hurley built. This is next level bad. Whether you think Cox is the right coach or not I think firing him after one year would be a huge risk in terms of finding other candidates. I look at it like this, how many coaches across D1 would agr...

Nah that was definitely a foul. You can’t lower your shoulder to bulldoze guys.

This happened to have happened in football, but don’t think it couldn’t have just as easily been basketball. To answer the question that many here have proposed: do scouting services actually watch and evaluate every player they rank, or just go by offers: https://awfulannouncing.com/online-outlets...

Lost in the disgust of Saturday was the fact that we attempted 19 3's. A scorching 3-19 for 15%. We have now fallen to DEAD LAST, 353 of 353 in 3 point shooting percentage in the country. A super-awesome 25.8%. Fatts has continued to defy logic and now sits at a sub-18% 3-point clip. 17.9%, 21 of 1...

I wonder if Harris would have stayed had he known how the Hurley/Adams situation was going to play out.

josephski

For whatever it’s worth at this point, Cox’s comments after the game to the media were appropriate, and I think to an extent they are pretty fair. Query whether not making shots is about bad luck or things spiraling on guys and confidence dipping, or just an underlying inability to actually shoot t...

Does he contribute in a positive way as much as Cyril or Fatts? Not even close. Silly comparison.

Ok so are we back to the part where cox ignores what he got us playing better in making lineup changes? The same guys have been out there costing us this game so far.

Thanks! Always nice when your highest scoring week of the season is in the championship game. Got pretty lucky with AB having his best game of the season and being able to pick up Jamaal Williams and CJ Anderson.

josephski

St Louis was ranked 15th for defensive efficiency on kenpom so this was always going to be a difficult game for us to score. I honestly thought we played pretty well, I don’t think you can really point to the refs or free throws as why we lost either. Just two teams who are good defensively and bad ...

Same although I'm not sure WVU's as good of a team this year as most expected. Still a nice win and will give us some more confidence going into Hawaii.

I'm not going to whine about the refs affecting us but it's making the game very hard to watch. The amount of stoppages and lack of any flow is absolutely brutal.

josephski

For anyone using the stadium streaming app how do you find the game? I tried searching Rhode Island but not seeing the game anywhere.

Edit: never mind, realized I had to switch from stadium 24/7 to live events

josephski

Really hope we see Dowtin running the offense more today.

Must win probably isn’t the right term but definitely seems like an important game. With WVU up next and then traveling to Hawaii a win just seems like it could go a long way for the team’s confidence.

josephski

Can anyone give me any explanation for why Dowtin has been moved off the ball? I don't think it can be described as anything but a massive coaching failure at this point. I get that we need him to be more of a scorer this year, but I still don't get why that means he needs to play off the ball. I t...

I don't think Cox likes to play Harris because Harris doesnt take enough contested threes while everyone else stands around watching, since that seems to be our only offensive game plan this season. Probably the fact he had 4 fouls in 11 minutes did it. Is it better to have him foul out with 15 min...

FT’s don’t help but even if we were shooting 80% we’re still down double digits.

Fatt’s needs to play better, plain and simple. Over the past three games he’s 11-48 (~23%) from the field and 3-26 (~12%) from 3. At the end of the day we don’t have many scoring options. Like everyone else, I’d like to see more out of the freshmen but it’s still early in the season so expectations ...

Someone posted this article on reddit that's most likely about the kid's father: http://jamaicaplaingazette.com/2010/06/ ... d_assault/

Most impressive stat of the night was Cyril played 38 minutes. Although I think this game showed just how little depth we have. 9 guys played but Silverio, Tate and Preston got 7, 4 and 8 minutes respectively.

Isn’t ESPN just distributing the product? I’m pretty sure URI or Cox is the one producing it.

If he couldn't play again is it possible he could get a 6th year and a medical hardship? It has happened a few times at the hoops level, though rare.

I love Preston, I hope nothing comes of this, but if it does, again, it kind of taints his successes. I don’t think it does, at all.

I have no idea if the rapper is famous or how much he costs. I feel like they’ve had performers at previous madness events. Do we know this one definitely costs more?

Maybe they are gathering resources for significant program improvements and don’t want to splurge on an event that is fun but ultimately not that important to the long term success of the program?
