What is the point of criticizing X at this point? He's got 7 or 8 games left in a Rams uniform. I'm not saying some of the criticism isn't warranted, it just isn't productive. X came into this program at one of its lowest points and has been an enormous credit to the program on and off the court fo...

Sweep The Leg

Yup, X sucks late in games. Last second 3 pointer against Auburn to send it to OT. Last second game winner against Dayton. Bet you clowns liked him when he got 25 against Brown, only guy to show up against Arizona with 22 points, his 28 against GMU didn't get it done, nor did his 27 against Dayton....

Sweep The Leg

That's great guys, let Butler be the scapegoat. No one committed a stupid turnover tonight right? Point is they did shoot well tonight, the defense was lacking at times but not taking care of the ball did them in. Keep blaming Butler based on a minor suggestion from a few of us. Way to observe the ...

Here I go again.....Dayton needs this game more than we do......to keep their slim at-large hopes alive.....we need to win the A-10 tournament..not win regular season games against foes who still have a chance for an at-large bid... ....it is better for the conference, and ultimately for us from a ...

Sweep The Leg

He has agreed to not go to anymore games this year, and swears he did not make those comments, but called him "a piece of crap". I have a hard time believing that Smart reacted that way from being called a piece of crap. ESPN showed the raw video/audio of the cameraman who was knocked ove...

Sweep The Leg

After going up 7 (62-55) with Munford's three ft's at the 8:35 mark, URI went ice cold. They scored just 6 points to close out the game. They matched that with 6 to's in that span and missed 9 shots. You don't win any games with that. TO Reischel Missed FG Buchanan TO Matthews TO Munford Missed 3FG...

Sweep The Leg

1-for-5 FGs, 3 TOs in final 3 minutes. This is why we lost, not the refs. We failed to close out the game (looked tired) I know you don't want be a homer, but there is looking for objectiveness. Yes, we did some bad things, but we were down by one possession with under a minute left. What happened ...

Sweep The Leg

There was no forearm to his side, but I'll admit most of our fans would be complaining too if the shoe was on the other foot. Normally, the home team gets that call. We, unfortunately, are not most teams. Great hustle by Putney, but TJ should have dunked it, so there would be alternative other than...

Forearm to the side is clean, since when?

You think the block on TJ was clean? Or the block on EC that wasn't called? The last minute has been bad.

Screwed by the refs once again. Two no calls on UMass at the end.

Sweep The Leg

Really had a chance to blow it open there up nine. X missed a layup, JR missed two FTs, a turnover. Thought the exact same thing. X is having trouble finishing today, probably due to UMass bigs being so tall and athletic. Dan needed to call a timeout during their run. You're at home, kill their mom...

Putney is quite the punk.

Sweep The Leg

adam i said the same thing but then he would have been painted in the same light as Ron Artest. Yeah, very true. I guess in reality the best thing would be for him to try and be the bigger man and ignore the guy. But damn thats alot easier said than done. Smart has to realize he has much more to lo...

you mean the old lady who is running her mouth a mile a minute at him? Please don't compare this to Ron Artest. 100% apples and oranges. He didn't even make the guy take a step back. Outside of a set of soiled drawers. The guy is fine. Not his first run in with opposing player either. Real class ac...

Sweep The Leg

He didn't "go into the stands". He was 3 feet away from him after a play ended. I think the kid showed remarkable restraint; considering the circumstances. He shoved the guy in the shoulder. Not everybody is Jackie Robinson. I'm sure Jackie had his share of scrapes over the years. He went...

Marcus Smart is an a-hole. Hitting a fan? Unacceptable. Needs to be suspended for at least for the rest of the regular season.

Brutal refs. We've got to get that kind of treatment from the refs at the RC against them. It's only justice. This is one thing holding the A10 back. Their refs, by and large, are terrible. I seriously think the refs want to add more A-10 teams to the Dance. How is VCU losing to St. Joes going to a...

Horrible charging call. It should have been an and 1 for VCU.

If I'm VCU, I keep fouling. St. Joe's is worse than Rhody at FT shooting.

@rambone 78 yeah ours is horrible

We r keeping it close with SJU right now but we need to shut them down... And these refs need to seriously call the game better

For those scoring at home: Fouls- VCU 16 SJU 7. Seems about right for SJU home game.

Hopefully the 2nd half VCU can get our act together. Minus the foul problems... We are taking dumb shots, and making really bad passes, not to mention letting them drive on us in the paint. I love Smart and what he's done, but VCU is flawed this year and HAVOC masks many of their holes. There doesn...

So, St. Joe's had 4 total fouls in the first half and one was intentional at the end of half. This is ridiculous against a team like VCU who push the action constantly. JR had four fouls alone against VCU in the first half. On a happier note, SMU is making the Bearcats their bitch. Any school that H...

Sweep The Leg

I truly hate St. Joe's. 6 fouls for VCU and 1 for St. Blow's. And an obvious backcourt violation missed. What does Martelli have on A-10 refs?

Sweep The Leg

You guys don't think it valid to mention that having TJ at point in THIS kind of high pressure game wasn't difficult? You don't think having another point guard (Biggie) who can at least come in and give TJ a little rest (TJ keeps cramping due to being overextended in playing time) would not have h...

The female panel member on CBSSN just said at least two good teams will be playing in the next game. What a biatch.

Sweep The Leg

I stated this in one of our 20 threads on our bad free throw shooting. Teams can play a more aggressive defense against us because they are not scared to foul us. I want teams to be scared as hell to put us in the bonus or foul us at the end of games. Case and point, the STL game. Tied and they foul...

I am more upset with Gil's poor defensive play. It is completely inexcusible for him to commit the tech he did. Hurley should bench him for the next game for that. I don't care... that is playing selfish and not thinking of his team. He is the worse defensive player I have ever seen. He commits laz...

No, I was responding to Obie. However, Tyson Wheeler was a terrific free throw shooter from day one, and the missed free throws at the end of the Stanford game were a total anomaly. He was 64.8% his senior year. Not great. He was awesome, no doubt. Saw him put on a clinic at the Mullens Center. Him...

Guess what, we don't win a single game without him. How many games did he put us in the win column? He's been playing great this month. Guess you weren't watching. Rod, if you are responding to me, I guess you are reading only what you want to. I said X is our best scorer, but he does hurt us at th...

Sweep The Leg

How did we get out rebounded by a team that plays 3-4 guards? Fordham recovered their shooting touch and then some, otherwise they would have been toast. X had another bad game at Rose Hill to match the one last year. His FT miss with URI down two with 59 seconds left was a killer. So far this seas...

Sweep The Leg

How the hell is Dan Hurley responsible for a 74% free throw shooter having a shitty night??????????????????? Are you kidding me? One thing that improves a team's free throw percentage is to have a point guard, who shoots them well, especially at the end of games. For those negative Nels, if you hav...

And to those who don't think free throw shooting is important and should not be a focus of the coaching staff, may I introduce to you to my middle finger.

Their guards are shooting 17/32 against us. Severe who is horrible against everyone (25-30 %) is 4-11? This team really is pissing me off.

Down by 7 to Fordham? Embarrassing.

Update: St. Joe's 29 free throws and UMass 13. A team with Chazz Williams is -16 on free throws?

Sweep The Leg

Good thing is, none of our guards are in serious foul trouble especially since Fordham rolls out 4 guards. X has 2, but EC and TJ have none.

At this rate, we'll have a higher RPI than UMass when we meet up.

St. Joe's up by 11 over UMass. Free throws: St. Joe's 11, UMass 2. Home cooking again.

I cant remember what game it was last year but we all sat and read the newspaper while the other team was being introduced. Then went crazy when URIs line up came. I remember doing that back in the 80s. Everyone had a "Cigar" and held it up while the opponents were announced (can't rememb...

Sweep The Leg

Does any team for an answer for Chazz? Make him play defense all game long. Whoever he guards should run the court through multiple screens constantly in an attempt to tire him out. If he guards EC or X, they should take him to the rim and try to draw fouls early and often. Put TJ on him in the beg...

No thanks on Cameron Diaz. She got injected with A-Rod's juice. And I think she took some of his steroids too.

Just got back from the game and a celebratory dinner at the Mews with the wife. Great win today. We could have won by 20+ if we hit our FTs. We dominated a good team in every aspect of the game except foul shooting %. We passed the ball extremely well and created easy looks. What I hoped for a day a...
