Dont most OOC teams stay in Newport when they play us? Thought that was one of the incentives typically advertised when scheduling a game.

NJ03

LETS GO!!!!!!

NJ03

As Coach Hurley said on Monday, OOC scheduling is the hardest and dirtiest part of the business. Getting a big name to come to your house is near impossible. It takes sacrifices, connections, and probably some luck. The risk-reward for these teams just isnt great enough. Essentially you have to conv...

NJ03

I believe we started with a 12-0 run in that game as the house was completely nuts and prob overwhelmed the Spiders. Unfortunately Richmond came back to ultimately win that game, but it just shows what a loud, on-top-of-you crowd, can do to a visiting college opponent.

ECR - tremendous idea. Craig Carton on WFAN here does similar promotions at Giants and Jets games when they're struggling like a Pig Roast with a ceremonial slapping of the pig, tailgate parties, etc. always are a huge hit. Love the shuck the corn idea. Maybe set it up outside the box office when st...

Caught that as well. Dan didn't seem too worried about this Sat night. Seemed confident the marketing program this week will get butts in the seats. Lets hope.

NJ03

I expect a sell out You are expecting too much. I had thought a November game versus USC to open up the brand new Ryan Center in 2002 just a few years removed from three straight NCAA appearances would be a sellout as well. It drew less than 6k (5785). My guess is that the Nebraska game draws in th...

Love these. Looking forward to a farmers sign for the Cornhuskers.

NJ03

Are we expected to make it even with the loss on Sunday? Or are we strictly on the bubble now?

NJ03

Awesome goal to win it! Nice work boys! Let's beat the bad Rams on Sun!

NJ03

Not a great day for the A10 at all. St Joes goes from winning the A10 tournament and coming within a minute from beating the eventual national champions in the NCAA tournament to kicking off the next season by losing at home to Fairly Ridiculous.

NJ03

I think Hurley's quote is subtly telling as to how he feels about the Hare situation “I just thought we had great spirit,” Hurley said. “The guys that we had there today, they’re easy to coach. They support each other. It’s a live bench. As a coach, that’s all you want.” "The guys we have here....

Good riddance. Talented, sure. But what a headache. Time to move on.

Thanks, as always, Obe!

Ha. Just caught up with this thread. Hillarious stuff. I actually thought SWC was joking with his story at first as a playful fib. There's no way he's actually serious with this. This is not the first of his ridiculous stories. Wasn't he in direct contact with Alex Murphy a few months back about com...

NJ03

and WOW just base on those instagram videos the lighting and ribbon look tremendous! Well done, URI! Can't wait to see it in person for the Nebraska game.

NJ03

Is the intro video posted anywhere?

NJ03

I'll take Terrell in the upset.

NJ03

I like the 1st team snub

Means absolutely nothing and will only fuel the fire.

NJ03

I really hate that this game isn't the first Sat in December anymore. Used to be a nice tradition for us out of staters.

NJ03

Rod the Holy Cross game was after the URI game. Actually according to the Wikipedia page, they actually lost the bet with URI. They had Rhody -15 and BC only lost by 13.

It was a great documentary although it's difficult to know which side to believe. From my understanding is when Hill had Sweeney and Kuhn in the hotel room he asked them to point to the games on the schedule that they had a good feeling about. Now, "good feeling" doesn't necessarily mean t...

NJ03

Going the old 3 colleges in 3 years route. Big and solid guard. Will take him in a second. You'd have to think we have an edge on BC because of the Hurley connection. I'm assuming his only connection with BC is Preston who he was prob in contact with after he transferred from Temple and visited URI.

NJ03

I pass by Will every morning in downtown NYC outside the World Trade on my walk to work. You literally can't miss him even with thousands of people all fighting to pass through one narrow stretch.

NJ03

This dudes a beast.

NJ03

Looks like I'll be spending Thanksgiving with Mickey and Minnie this year! Welcome aboard, JT!!

NJ03

This is the best board in the A10 hands down. You guys are all awesome.

NJ03

Already warned the fiancé that if this goes down then we're spending thanksgiving in Orlando this year. Only reason she obliged is because her parents live on the west coast of Florida and makes for an easy trip. She's a UConn grad so for her this is all amateur hour. She has no idea the pain we've ...

Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 37m Expect Jared Terrell to visit BC, URI & Providence. At this point see them in this order as far as his lean. I have to agree with this. I'm not too worried about PC but I'm fully expecting him to go to BC. Preston factor + closest to home + ACC competition + st...

NJ03

This could either be amazing or even worse than before. If we somehow land Terell, and put him in the same class as Garrett, with EC and Hassan already here....I would be in heaven, on top of the world, cloud nine.....however if he chooses UMass or BC, two schools that I hate with passion, then this...

NJ03

Thoughts with you and your family, Rod. Praying for the best.

NJ03

What's Aamans connection to Cooke aside from both being from NJ?

NJ03

Hey at least he capitalized the R and I in Rhode Island and spelt our name correctly (unlike Norte Dame). Must mean something, right?

NJ03

Is that even D1?

NJ03

Would be very surprised if he turned down sunny LA, the Pac12, and the historic UCLA Bruins and ended up going to Nowheresville Wisconsin and new new "Big East"

NJ03

Would have liked to see GW pull off the victory and the VCU disaster was tough to watch. But I have to admit that I enjoyed every second of seeing UMass get smoked.

NJ03

Haven't been to a URI vs UMASS game since college and last night reminded me how much I despise that school. Their fans were relatively quiet for most of the game until the last two minutes when we were constantly heckled by hillbilly trashy old men that resemble what you would see on peopleofwalmar...

NJ03

Going on strictly numbers, UMass should be favored by 8-10. Looks like the oddsmakers are giving us some respect. They know we've been close. This is usually a good thing. Don't discount the chance that the books are also trying to sucker the average bettor who just looks at records into a UMass bet

NJ03

We have to be realistic going into this tournament. Sure, we are riding somewhat of a hot streak. We have won our last two games, 3 of our last four, and our last two losses have been by 3 points each. We are definitely riding some momentum and no doubt the players feel good about themselves heading...

NJ03

Give me UMass all day. Hey - nothing to lose. A win vs. them would be a great stepping stone to build on in the offseason. I'll be there Thurs

NJ03

We need Fordham to become respectable, at least....they are located in New York, which seems to be important....and their academic reputation is attractive to the A-10.... It will never happen as long as they play at Rose Hill. It's no doubt a unique place to see a game but you can't recruit solid ...

NJ03

Two teams that we have beat but both going different ways. Dayton is peaking while Richmond is dropping. Give me the Spiders all day.

NJ03

Well based on his teams performance after his suspension id say Marcus Smart is more valuable to Ok St then Cotton to PC. MCdemorrot to Creighton prob as well.

NJ03

ATP - the "oh my god" earlier was referring to Gardner's full court heave at the end of regulation. Could you imagine if that was the shot that killed PC's tourney hopes?

NJ03

WOW!! Craziest college hoops game I've seen this season. PC wins in 2OT against a good Marquette team to keep their NCAA tourney hopes alive. Cotton insanely clutch on senior night.

NJ03

Oh my god.....

NJ03

Now PC fouls mayo while shooting a 3. 88% ft shooter. Looked like sort of a BS call.

NJ03

Clutch 4 point play from Fortune. This is a great game.

NJ03

I think it's safe to say this is the first time that we have been a double digit fave in a long time.
