There ya go EC. But you need to shoot yourself out of these slumps five minutes into the game..not mid second-half

RhodeIslandRams

The EC stuff, and we all LOVE the kid, is classic 'head-case' issues. 30 one game, none the next, against similar level competition? Afraid to shoot, sometimes even afraid to mix it up. You can tell Dan is telling EC to shoot. But after he misses a few, he stops. Sometimes it's on the player. I feel...

RhodeIslandRams

Are they drugged? Drunk? Get the starters out.

RhodeIslandRams

A guy for LaSalle who averages six points a GAME has 12 already. While EC has none. Again.

RhodeIslandRams

Dowtin is getting fun to watch. The rest of the team is killin' me.

RhodeIslandRams

Doesn't matter how much time is left. Garrett will stand near half court with 20 seconds left..wait until there is 7 seconds left, and drive in and shoot. EVERY time. It's like he feels he doesn't have to feel guilty forcing up a shot with only a few seconds left, so he waits until the clock ticks d...

RhodeIslandRams

EC!!!!!

RhodeIslandRams

We sure throw up a lot of airballs....

RhodeIslandRams

I'm still not a fan of that 'wait 'til 8 seconds on the clock and drive in and take a poor shot' offense...is that really the best we can do when we have 20 seconds against an inferior opponent? Everyone in the place knows what's coming when they do that. It was defended so easily and gave them an e...

RhodeIslandRams

Seems EC doesn't want to shoot again today. Coming off a 30-point game. Nothing makes sense on this team.

RhodeIslandRams

Ha those are the two names I was curious about as well. The original Gandy was..well, an original!

RhodeIslandRams

So where's GANDY these days?

RhodeIslandRams

Providence went on a 31-0 run in the Wagner game? Yikes. Only won by 22...so the rest of the game was pretty even?

How does a team get 31 straight points though....

RhodeIslandRams

Not being a blind optimist, but asking a serious question: has there ever been a time in our program's history that we have good records going into the final eight games or so and collapsed like we did those last few Baron years?

RhodeIslandRams

At least EC looked like EC again. Now if Hassan and EC can play together and be hot...

Sorry i was dreaming again...

RhodeIslandRams

Adam, I know. As bad as we blow the end of games, it's uncanny how clutch teams seem to be against us. Is that just our perception?

RhodeIslandRams

C'mon, some heroics please????????

RhodeIslandRams

Guess they don't know Bobby and Dan coached together here too...

RhodeIslandRams

How was that an offensive foul???

And then KI being so overt with the repeated bumps how can he NOT get called doing that? Use your head geez....

RhodeIslandRams

OK guys use your heads wow. Best we could do was a Robinson three attempt?

RhodeIslandRams

Reef: "Why do I get the feeling we are going to lose this game ??"

Maybe because we almost steal it four times, they lose control and throw up a wild three and it goes in?

But C'mon we can do this...EC stays hot, KI gets aggressive, we need one more to step up. EC looks great!

RhodeIslandRams

Good half for a road game. Now playing BETTER in the 2nd, not suddenly forgetting how to be aggressive would be nice!

RhodeIslandRams

Seriously, anyone know why EC hasn't be wearing the headband? I think this is the first game with it on right? Remember last season Coach kept the headband in his pocket as a show of support for EC...knowing how superstitious athletes can be I'm surprised there hasn't been more made of this lol or d...

RhodeIslandRams

EC with the headband is clearly better than w/o it

RhodeIslandRams

11-2 start, just as expected. Oh wait, we're ahead

RhodeIslandRams

Good EC start!

RhodeIslandRams

Two things... 1. I asked a few tough questions in my first interview with Coach Hurley, and he was upset. Ironically a short time later he was here in Arizona to play the Wildcats and we talked and everything was good. Not being a sports journalist, I didn't realize most local sports guys don't ask ...

RhodeIslandRams

TruePoint thanks, I get that, but I guess I felt the game was out of reach and would hate to see EC injured in garbage time. (I know, with this team there is no such thing as 'out of reach' lol)

RhodeIslandRams

Weird to bring EC in with one minute left up 10? Again, trying to get his confidence up, what else could be the reason...

RhodeIslandRams

So Dan actually brought EC back in just to take that last 3. It's definitely an attempt to build his confidence. Still not sure the last shot VS Providence was a great idea...but let's hope EC stays 'back'!

RhodeIslandRams

Seems we could have used Berry for a FEW minutes prior to this game...

RhodeIslandRams

Can we add to the bad under the basket camera angle, the always over-modulated audio? Wow....

RhodeIslandRams

On EC taking that last shot... My guess is that Hurley wanted to give EC the chance to win (tie) a game because his confidence is shot, and that the coach KNEW it was a big gamble, but thought if he gave it to another player for the first time ever, EC might lose whatever confidence he has left. At ...

RhodeIslandRams

To be fair to us as fans, we got excited for this season thinking EC was playing this year. Not a shot at that poor kid, but who could have expected this?

RhodeIslandRams

Just a couple of things, since everyone made pretty much every point already. Last night was the first time I ever saw EC afraid to shoot. He passed a few times to a guy two feet away from him. Like 'here YOU take it". Almost shocking. Of course then he takes a 3 in the most important moment of...

RhodeIslandRams

Ram67 if it's the a10 stream, just look for the word "full" in the lower right of the video box, click that.

RhodeIslandRams

Actually I'll never understand why we aren't MUCH better with video streaming. It's been years now. Do people know how easy it is to stream high-quality video??!!? Our video, going back to them just taking the scoreboard video complete with the cartoon elephant is weak and always has been. Most peop...

RhodeIslandRams

Just wish we had a better game. You could see ten minutes into this game that we could play with these guys. Hurts to get so little from E.C. and Iverson...surprising.

Oh and did ya hear? Duke played a lot of games this week? (sarcasm)

RhodeIslandRams

Ramster said "We have a very, very, very realistic shot at knocking off the #1 team in the nation today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Now how often have we been able to say THAT????

So let's DO it!

RhodeIslandRams

Finally. Clutch!

RhodeIslandRams

Thanks ATP,

Not exactly deep stuff but Gilvydas is such a nice guy to deal with the next one should be better. Great win BTW!!!! And congrats on the site.

RhodeIslandRams

Guys still learning the new forum lol the interview is in my first post that started this thread. Any other past URI folks you'd like me to try to Skype just ask.

RhodeIslandRams

Talked with Gilvydas today. Had to do it earlier so sorry for the couple of questions I couldn't see in time. This isn't some deep basketball interview, just a fun chat to get us back in the mood for Rhody Hoops! Hopefully the first of several installments. He looks good, seems happy. Skype as alway...

RhodeIslandRams

Thanks for the effort, looks great.

RhodeIslandRams

This is crazy, Munford knocks the ball out of Curry's hands in a great heads-up hustle play, takes the inbound and drives all the way to the basket faking one player out of his shorts...now listening to the announcers rave about Munford, Hurley etc.

Ranked in the off-season (no haters please)

Nice.

RhodeIslandRams

HA 208! In all my years in the journalism biz, I have never seen anyone quote Mickey Rivers. Priceless! Rivers was a classic player in that if he wasn't on your team, you likely hated him. I never hear his name, like he never played the game. Maybe because I'm far from the Northeast these days. Grea...

RhodeIslandRams

I would be very surprised and disappointed if Hurley left. Want to see him finish what he started, what he has built here...however my much bigger concern would be players and or recruits leaving with Hurley. With the team we have and recruits coming in we will be fine next year with a competent co...

RhodeIslandRams

Guys. Maybe the most painful season ever, considering how excited we were a few months ago. Heck I picked this year to carry the Rams on my radio station...

Thank God we have each other so that my family doesn't have to listen to me all season. I feel your pain.

RhodeIslandRams

...and EVERY team is clutch against us? I don't wanna whine but geeeeeeez

RhodeIslandRams

Hey you guys who played competitive ball, help me answer this: How can someone get as cold as Terrell after several solid games? How does Four have no touch again? How does every shooter have a bad night on the same night?? How can JG suddenly not be able to drive to the bucket? Thompson and Akele n...
