I'm not even going to watch this game. It's an affront to our fans how bad this team is. Never thought it would be this bad. This is just plain horrible. In the worst A10 conference maybe ever, we are in last place. I don't think I can ever remember a URI team being this bad. The Jerry D years were...

The big battle for the basement is Wednesday - URI at Loyola. key matchup...national tv Most important will be the attendance Yes...but, what kind of attendance? In person, sold tickets, fabrication, guesstimate, pre-ordained...? Pretty sure people get 'wound up' about that, right? :lol: :lol:

If A10 standings overall we’re to stay the same, this game could be pretty meaningful. As the 14 seed URI lines up with Fordham as the Top 4 team in their quarter of the bracket. Easily the weakest team of the top 4. Whoever is in that group has a good chance of a “surprise” semi finals or finals r...

Or maybe Archie can sign some freshmen like EC, Terrell and Hass? Blueram, I think you will be disapponted then. I believe only 3 of the top 150 recruits ('23) haven't committed and they aren't on our radar and out of our geographic comfort zone. Then I will be for sure disappointed. I did not expe...

The Jerry D years were much much worse than this. Jerry D was 7-23 his second year. We are 8-20. Not much difference. Not saying Archie can't get it done, but this team feckin stinks. Roster overhaul is needed. Yeah, maybe we can grab a designated three point bomber off the waiver wire, practice ro...

Samb was not dressed to play today. He was in sweats. Not sure if injured or not but he was not going in. When Tchikou missed 2 point blank shots in a row having rebounded his own 1st miss I was thinking why don't you just grab the ball and dunk it - he is 6'11". Then I looked at Archie and I ...

Aside from a possible Jersey connection to Woodward, why would Battle come to URI? He is one of the top players in the AAC (averaging 18 pts) and will probably get his choice of the pick of the litter. Is this just another name RV is throwing out there. Is "recruiting possible transfers" ...

Is there a connection I'm missing here? Committed to Butler then went to Temple. Or is there no obvious connection they just think they could be a good player for us?

I would expect and hope that Fordham gets an NIT bid. That is a huge accomplishment and building block for that program. They'd be extremely excited to play in the postseason. Put a New York team on TV with a gym that's filled...that's ideal for the NIT. (Nobody wants to see UGA playing in 10,000 s...

Is it better to do the opposite and wallow in hopelessness? I will continue to speculate on incoming players with a hedge towards hopefulness versus not until proven otherwise on the court after a valid sample of games. Even more so when I consider Archie’s historic track record. This year....you d...

Thought Archie coached a solid game. The team played well in a pretty hostile environment. Looking forward to the A10 Tournament. While they have lost 7 straight I think they have the potential to surprise in The A10 Tournament. A surprise would be they win the first game. This team is not good or ...

Fordham's NET rank will probably drop with such a close home win against such a bad team. Was at #132 before the game. Fordham's failure to beat URI by a wide margin at home caused their NET to drop six places going from pre game #132 to now #138. If Fordham gets to 25 wins what are their NIT chanc...

Maybe said team they lost to is not as bad as you think Also why didn’t URI move up after playing a 3rd place A10 team on the road to a last second shot when underdog by 8? URI stayed the same at 254. Makes little sense. They still lost. Moving six up or down, or staying put, strikes me as reasonab...

Remember JD, Fordham beat a very good Tulane team on the road in New Orleans. Tulane is in 2nd place in the AAC standings, they also finished 1st in football this past season. Tulane is NET 91. They are a fringe NIT team. They are a good team, but not very good. Tulane at home is a tough out, regar...

NYGFan_Section208

No starter on the team will be on the roster the next time URI dances assuming the current field size. This is why I call this year 0 ( or a lost year) rather than a re-building year. Development of Stewart, Weston and Fourmena as well as new players are key to our future. I say this meaning no sli...

Yeah, I think he and at least one or two of the other bigs we have, are not used to playing in the paint or rebounding. They are all the same kind of position players, Rory has the edge on outside shooting and the others may have the edge in athleticism. So, I think if you do get that key player wh...

Just looked at the box score and Frenchie only played 16 min and Samb saw no action. Was that simply Archie’s decision or are there injuries? Samb was not dressed to play today. He was in sweats.

Didn't watch today, but...'dribbling in traffic' is never a good thing. For those that tend to turn it over, sometimes seems like it's 'in traffic', even when it's just 'one guy on D'. Oh well....one more year!

Was Foumena redshirted because he was not as good as Frenchie? Or was it for medical reasons. ? Enough said if it was for the former reason. Hopefully, in a not too distant time, the answer to question 1 will be "who?" So you want to ride it out with a consistently inconsistent 6th year s...

reality is we were worse than our collective KB expectations. Look back to threads just a year ago about now. we have no foundation, we have no culture. this season was a step backwards.
