I'm still surprised at Hurley calling out guys in public. Not buying that it's OK, if the players have a good relationship with their coach. That's a great way to end a good relationship.

Is that the optimism train I hear entering the station......? Of course! Why not? We're talking about 18-22 year olds that can surprise either way on any given day.

Terrell had 3 rebounds in 40 minutes against Iona. Tied for last with Earl(8minutes). Watching too much. Not much running. Definitely no jumping. Depth?

I'm glad that 'you' don't feel teased and let down, but are able to assess the wisdom of the crowd to tell us how 'they' feel. The 'wisdom of a crowd'? What the bleep is that?

Seriously? "..teased and let down"? Do you think that the players and coaches get together to plan that? And, if you don't think the team is doing that purposefully, I would just say.... Just because you're not paranoid - doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get you (or emotionally tease yo...

Now being concerned with the overall performance of this team, I just don't think we will see anything different.

from 8 wins to 14 to 23...seems like decent progress in a pretty short time frame, with plenty of time left this year...

In a week where people are trying to best each other for "dumbest take on the board" .. I think we have a winner. I was actually shocked at how many people were at the game last night. Guess what? Winning puts fans in the seats. If you're not going to win...play exciting basketball. Not d...

Am thinking the 'same old stuff for years' is overblown. The players are the ones that make, or don't make the plays and they're only around for 4 years. That's why college teams 'win' titles, they don't 'defend' them. In general, seems there's been a lot of discussion about 'the Baron (and other?) ...

Nice game to watch.....looked like plenty of room.... There was....not to nitpick (well, yeah, I will), but...there is a limited area where fans can stand to see the court. So, where do they put the TV's?...right in the same area. Put the TV's on the sides, high enough for everyone to see them and ...

Our fans don't suck for not going to the games. Our fans have been emotionally abused by this program for a decade and a half, and if they even hint at being good again they will STILL come back.

Same old Rhody. This team could be so much better if they figured out how to gel better on the court. Saw a few times in this game where Jarvis split the zone and drove down the lane. It drew the center out from the basket and he dished the ball off to a teammate like Iverson or Hassan who cut back...

Well, I just got back from the game. I think that the Frenchtown Rd. Showcase's running of fucking Star Wars drew more "fans" during the day's showings than showed up for tonight's game. Though this board comprises a bunch of devoted amateurs, what cracks me up is that a tremendous number...

fukin free throws. yeah. they don't mean shit. right? Rhody made 8 of 10 FTs down the stretch in regulation and 7 of 8 FTs in OT. The two FTs at the end of regulation were missed by a Freshmen. You can't just look at one play. The game went into OT because of poor FG shooting for the game and poor ...

I think people just want to make sure that it's out there that FT's are an issue (not quite sure if all fans realize yet that this is an issue). Seems like it's finally getting recognized. Next step is to make sure that everyone knows how to correct it. Looks like there's a lot of debate about what ...
