I'm going to try too. Got family down there.

UCH21377

They were very aggressive getting me to renew as well. Sure they were for everyone. It worked; it's the earliest I ever renewed my tickets.

UCH21377

UConn has won 4 national championships in last 20 years and now is down. Not sure why people think that cannot be resurrected. Hurley obviously thinks he can. BC hoops is not even comparable no matter the conference

UCH21377

I would think if A10 expands or needs replacement teams it would look south not west. Belmont, Chrarleston, Murray State. I really don’t think some sort of new conference is realistic at this point.

UCH21377

No way to these other tourneys. Even if healthy, no, but with a bunch of kids banged up no way

UCH21377

Disagree on Hurley there is a UConn mystique and opportunity to restore glory as opposed to nearly hopeless situation at BC. Schmidt should stay where he is great coach but not sure how he’d do in ACC pressure cooker

UCH21377

I’m more ok with NC State than Johnnies who totally fell apart. Ohio St does not belong either IMO. Belmont deserving but probably won’t get in. Don’t think Tempke is deserving either.

UCH21377 · Re: 3/15 | VCU | 12:00PM (NBCSN) | A10 Quarterfinals HOLY SHIT!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!

UCH21377

The kid is a class act too. Great representative of URI.

UCH21377

Maybe not but I feel the A10 is losing ground to other conferences in that next tier. Specifically the AAC

UCH21377

Team looked great last night with everyone contributing. Preston looked really solid out there; looks like he's going to help us going into A10 tourney. That gives us some much needed depth. Trying not to get crazy optimistic about A10 tourney but we're looking pretty darn good right now. Whatever h...

Marketing did an excellent job this year filling the student sections during the times when students were off. Hope they can keep the momentum for next year.

UCH21377

Looks like another good crowd today

UCH21377

This is a different team than just a few weeks ago. Amazing

UCH21377

I love the 4pm starts. Couple drinks, game, grab some dinner somewhere

UCH21377

I think it's more when things are going really bad, eventually you think F___ it; let's just play. The pressure is reduced, and next thing you know the shots are falling.

And the weave, of course!

Which I do honestly feel has helped.

UCH21377

With two games left in the regular season, this prediction contest has come down to these three possible scenarios. If URI wins both remaining games, the winner is bpaz11 . If URI splits its two remaining games, the winner is Rhody72 . If URI loses both remaining games, the winner is Billyboy78 . D...

UCH21377

I think Fatts did miss that on purpose. it is absolutely the right thing to do. He was saying something to the other kids before shooting it.

UCH21377

That was some performance by Fatts. And really the whole team. Harris obviously hurt, announcers mentioned something about Tate's toe, DC mentioned Martin's knee, Silverio out. That was a super-gutty performance. Guys playing iron-man minutes out there.

UCH21377

I think we need to schedule some home games in Philly next year.

UCH21377

UCF probably in the tourney now. Utah State also? Ramster I also think VCU is only A10 with at-large shot. AS for URI, I would rather play anyone other than Davidson; they have our number. But we're getting way ahead of ourselves worrying about the A10 tourney. Let's play another couple good games f...

UCH21377

208, I haven't. I try to check out different NBA teams to see some of these players. Seen Denver a few times, Dallas, Utah, of course Milwaukee, plus the usual TV teams but haven't seen Trae Young. The NBA game is really fluid and fun to watch now, although they are not clamping down on 'D' quite ye...

UCH21377

I am surprised Coach didn't put in Harris to guard Toppin at some point late in game or in OT. No way CT could stop him, or Tate, although they tried their best. I thought Tate played very well at end; the offensive foul was tough but at least he was aggressive. He worked hard on D and boards as we...

UCH21377

Can’t believe we won missing the front end of 2 1 and ones with less than 30 seconds left in the game. But I’ll take it. I don’t like leaving only Dayton players on the FT lane for rebounding and all our guys go back. It makes for a weird feeling for the URI shooters. The last time Martin almost wa...

UCH21377

I know I'm in minority but the weave gets them moving, and got Dayton into a zone. I think it actually has worked pretty well.

UCH21377

Great win for the kids; they worked their butts off and deserved it.

UCH21377

EZ nice Oprah impression the other night. I was in 203 and very hungry, and very sad, no pizza for me.

UCH21377

Hope so DC agree we need one pretty bad. Really could have used one for this year obviously; water under the bridge.

UCH21377

And speaking of point guards, ball handling etc, what are we going to do next year if we somehow lose Fatts or Dowtin? We are really thin in that area.

UCH21377

Ramster I have to agree with DC on the Martin/EC comparison. It's not really close IMO, sorry. EC, when healthy, could get to the rim with ease. Tyrese has shown us none of that. Yes EC had some sloppy turnovers, but his ball-handling skills were much more developed than Tyrese's right now. Adam's d...

UCH21377

I thought they looked a little better last night than in the previous few games. The weave actually produced a few decent looks; I think he's just trying to get the kids to move on offense. Not recommending it as a permanent solution that's for sure, but a lot of teams use it from time to time. I'm ...

UCH21377

To me it’s not about the record or scores necessarily but how they are playing. The lack of purpose, the lackadaisical passing, the way they come in and out of the game etc etc they just seem to be a rudderless ship. I really hope I am wrong and we turn it around next yeR.

UCH21377

The talent level Cox inherited was not that much better, if better at all then Powell, Mumford, Malone, Buchannan, Hare, Malasevic, Aaman. Hurley's left overs were certainly better shooters. I believe Hurley saw the hand writing on the wall which is why he jumped at his " Dream Job". We a...

UCH21377

What I don’t know Billyboy, is if it is part of the game plan for Harris to pick up a guy at half court? It happens every game. Then he picks up a stupid foul and the guards he is covering sometimes bait him into the foul. Is it possible this is Harris’ idea to do this? If so, then why don’t the co...

UCH21377

Rams have not done well in Super Bowls so far this year.

UCH21377

Thinking back, I forgot we even had a coach for 90% of that game. That’s telling, and I was there. Hasn't he been coached about that foul he picks up near half court every game, or the one he commits on offense setting a pick every game? If so, he just doesn't get it. Which leads me to another ques...

Yes, I heard some boos; I'm in 203.

It was so bad late in the game that some people were just laughing and shaking their heads at what was going on. Pretty sad.

UCH21377

Best I can tell these kids are simply not getting coached. Harris needs to understand what he can and cannot get away with. Nothing has changed since day 1. That's coaching. Not to mention the fact that Cox didn't even look at the kid when he got his fourth foul and came out of the game. He has seri...

Listen if you think the kid understands what he needs to do to avoid foul trouble you are wrong. Like Cyril freshman year. He will figure it out sooner or later. I hope

UCH21377

All three Harris foul calls were correct. He just needs to learn how to play. And Langevine cannot just lower his shoulder and bull into people of course he’s gonna get called with the charge If you think the third foul was a good call, you have no idea what you’re looking at or talking about.

Cox's only options are sitting on the bench and they are worse than those on the floor. We are seeing effects of playing 30+ minutes per game. If Cox runs their legs off in practice this week, they will continue to play poorly. A week of light shooting practices is needed. I still can't get over po...

UCH21377

I agree a change of pace is needed. If for no other reason than to get the guys focused and more aggressive. Maybe it will spill over into their shooting. Get them easier shots. Also, why not a zone? Zone press? The pre-tweet RP might be effective in a pressing situation. Plus, the guys that struggl...
