What David cox recruit is more talented than Dawan Robinson, Will Daniels, Jimmy Baron, Delroy James, or Keith Cothran? They’d have started over every cox recruit (unless cox had promised someone more minutes in recruiting). And those players all played for Baron for 4 years. Too early to tell. Are...

How many of these three former players were POTY candidates or first-team all-A10? I just don't recall. I don’t view anything through the prism of A10 award winners considering Yuta Wantanabe was the DPOY over Stan Robinson. A10 conference awards are a joke. I could be wrong but I believe JimmyB wa...

Blue Man

To be fair to Baron - he may not have been a very good coach, but he could recruit stars. Cox hasn’t brought in anyone close to the level of talent as a Dawan Robinson/Will Daniels/Delroy James in terms of the ability to be THE guy. How many of these three former players were POTY candidates or fir...

Is there a different AB than I'm remembering? Because if it's Allen Betrand, I think people are overrating what he brought to the table last year, so this idea that he's going to come in after a year off due to injury and be a gamechanger for our program next year is bound to only make people disap...

I just hope everyone is enjoying the “winter of death” wished upon the unvaccinated by the great unifier in the White House and all of the good people who really care about others.

……..the improvements will be measured in small bits and pieces…….like are we better than last year….. If that was truly the case your are basically saying that he stays. If he was staying based on being a little bit better than last year then I'd guess that a contract extension and pay increase wou...

Blue Man

Still tough to be excited. We can’t beat anyone halfway decent, and we still look awful against bad teams.

Blue Man

I like Bassy but how do you have a 15 second offensive possession with one pass and a shitty contested turnaround jumper miss?

Can we just run any semblance of an offense?

Blue Man

Poor girl doing the color commentary just doesn't know what to say We just keep putting these deer in the headlight students up there with zero talent for this job I turned off the sound right after she first started talking. Ima need you to join me in this cringe fest Turn that sound back on Yeah ...

Blue Man

I also just don’t understand why this offense puts the center in positions to be handling the ball from 20+ feet away from the hoop.

Blue Man

Imagine not having walker playing the most minutes on your team.

Blue Man

Leggett. What happened man.

Blue Man

Lmao so we’re still putting Carey in positions to dribble the ball and turn it over.

Blue Man

At least we have an identity. No matter how big or small, we can blow a lead anywhere!

Blue Man

Ahh so we’re not making any changes. Let’s see how it plays out!

Blue Man

My daughter wasn't even on the COVID floor last night at UPMC and worked 13 hours without a single break. That will tell you how overwhelmed the hospitals are. 13 hours with no break....have you heard of the law of diminishing returns? They're all doing their best, but the system is breaking. Maybe...

Blue Man

Would like to see a lineup that has martin at the 3, walker at the 4, and ONE MITCHELL ON THE FLOOR AT A TIME.

Blue Man

Blue jays, Friars postponed tonight. I would love a documented case of a young, healthy athlete being hospitalized or seriously affected by Covid to justify these cancellations. Funny you mentioned it. My wife, who works in the hospital, told me that a young healthy (unvaccinated) person just had t...

CDC director just said in an interview that over 75% of Covid deaths were people with “at least four comorbidities” and were “unwell to begin with” That's an incredible statistic and means the vast majority of people died with Covid and not because of Covid. Hard to disagree with the lockdowns, use...

Blue Man

Wow that’s terrible to even mention. 10 wins?? Look for the PA announcer to call attention to a video montage once Cox achieves this milestone. Honestly though, that looks like something Bill Koch is highlighting independently. Agreed. Bill is definitely not a marketing arm of the athletic departme...

Blue Man

What would the team be like without the Mitchell twins? Fordham. LaSalle. Ah always nice to hear from you - PC had a win yesterday, go on friar talk. but.. lol what are we now? If you played one Mitchell at a time and did what’s best for the team instead of trying to honor every recruiting commitme...

Blue Man

You can choose to believe this or not. My wife was on her way home from New Orleans and had a layover in Charlotte. Coincidentally was on the same flight as the URI basketball team flying home into Boston (why weren’t they flying into providence??). She said one of the twins (no idea which one) was...

Blue Man

Cox definitely needs to go after this season !! One of his biggest mistakes was probably promising the twins either starting jobs or a certain amount of playing time and it should cost him his job Lack of discipline with the twins just allows them to do whatever they want What would the team be lik...

But for a fan of another team who just casually fol...

Blue Man

Fire it up!

Good news though - this team does have an identity.

We blow leads and lose games late.

Blue Man

Full disclosure - didn’t watch. Caught like 10 mins from Stone on the radio. I just don’t care any more. Went sledding instead. That said, OF COURSE this was coming. Only one Mitchell should be on the floor at a time - but of course he lets the players run the team. It’s what he did with Fatts. It w...

Blue Man

We had more good teams offsetting their suck. Now we have one or two good programs, a ton of mediocrity, and then the suck. Not enough programs lifting the conference to overcome the anchors. Really not sure what is controversial about this. Pretty much everyone on the board thought our season was ...

Blue Man

I really hope the A-10 figures out a way to drop Fordham/La Salle based on their investments/infrastructure alone. Adding doesn't really help if we keep having to play historically 200+ ranked teams.

Blue Man

This board has been ruined by a handful of posters that continually push their opinions and political views over and over again ad nauseum. I am beginning to think it might be best to shut it down. It sadly has little to do with Rhody basketball these days. RF1 - I just posted something similar on ...

Blue Man

Well, I asked my kids if they're growing up "fear ridden" (your words, not mine) and they said no. They know to ask the experts and not just wing it because they think they know better. The "healthy, active children" who refer to who likely won't be hospitalized by Covid...I'm s...

"Good behavior"...freedom back...comparison to prison. What in the world are you talking about, man? Get yourself checked into the department of reality. Your rambling makes no sense. Thanks for the congratulations. Complaining about masks and not wearing one I guess would make you what? ...

Blue Man

Agree. Went to my son's high school basketball game tonight. (He played well, they won...thanks for asking.) Masks required by players, fans, and even the officials. Nobody bitched, nobody complained. Just part of the deal right now. You just suck it up and do it. It's a very small sacrifice for my...

Blue Man

Perhaps you guys should take your own advice and go out and live your lives and be happy. I know I have been. You're the ones bitching endlessly about covid on a basketball message board. Just a bit ironic. Agree. Went to my son's high school basketball game tonight. (He played well, they won...tha...

Ryan Center math strangely resembles Covid math.

We’re tweeting stuff like this, and PC is tweeting about their national ranking.

Everything sucks. This program is so far from where it was.

Blue Man

This thread and subsequent attendance/buzz around the game is the perfect summation of how far this program has fallen in 4 years

Blue Man

How ironic for The Victory Lap by Dunk Management when the Dunk is likely the only Public Basketball Arena in the country that has not required masks. And masking now when it looks like Omicron is infecting so rapidly. Not sure the masks are doing much at this point Just let all the basketball game...

Blue Man

Stop testing players. Stop paying attention to it. How many healthy college aged athletes got Covid and have been hospitalized or died? This is foolish at this point. Yep, problem is, doing that (not testing healthy people) diminishes the fear mongers, who are looking for stories more like the one ...

Let's start with the Princeton offense. Thoughts. I actually like the version of that offense we run I rewatched the PC game last night , the twins really need to stop committing silly fouls it kills us Be interesting to see how we come out vs Dayton after the Covid pause Or maybe the coach needs t...

Reports are saying that by February, there will be over 1 million cases per day of the Omicron variant in the U.S. Our healthcare system doesn't stand a chance. Other “reports” throughout the last 3 years also have said this will end soon, here, there, everywhere. You get the point. Keep reading th...

Very few masks at the PC -URI Dunk game 2 weeks ago Few masks at the UCONN-PC XCEL game yesterday If masks do all the prevention that CDC Science and the media says they do then it’s just a matter of time before this close to 100% non-mask wearing in crowded, sold out indoor college basketball aren...

Blue Man

MBB is a game, nothing more. I wouldn't want to be on the same court as someone with Covid whether I had all my shots or not. It is not fair to the healthy to make their participation optional. If you can't field a healthy team, then call off the game. So then why did you get the shot? Stay in your...

Blue Man

Stop testing players. Everyone has it. It’s mild. They’re not around at risk people and they’re not going to be adversely affected.

If they’re all vaccinated what’s the issue?

Is someone going to tell me the vaccine doesn’t work??

Blue Man

Win out and go to A 10 championship ? you think URI has to go 30 -4 to make the dance ? Really ? I think that is a little extreme . If URI can win at St. Bonaventure , split with Dayton and Davidson and at VCU and finish 13 -5 and win two in the A 10 Tournament for an overall record of 25 -9 I thin...

I'm not saying its all BS, I'm a pro vaxx guy. But there's definitely people making quick judgments and decisions based on the media. And media as in FB twitter ect.

Also - hilarious that at a press conference about an important conference game he's bringing us up.

Dude we suck, you're still thinking about us? THAT MEANS WE'RE YOUR RIVAL. douche.

If I'm going to bash Cox, I'm going to also give him credit when he deserves it. It looks like he lit a fire under Sheppard's ass. After sitting for most of the game (12 minutes played) against Sacred Heart, he comes out the next game and gets 25 points and 8 rebounds. Good job. Agreed. But again. ...

I guess if Cooley says it often enough, his players believe it. I wonder if UConn feels the same way......NOT! https://twitter.com/MHershgordon/status/1471504645310672914?s=20 They’re 18-29 against UConn. Similar winning percentage to URI vs PC.
