Martell I is a public jerk but one who's had some success. If Hurley wins a game or two in the Dance, then he will be "intense." Now?

Ramblinrose

If I'm a ref, I ask Dan one thing after his tantrums. What the bleep have you ever won? Bobby Knight? He got away with it because he won three titles and was always in the Dance. Does Dan really think screaming and stamping his feet for 40 minutes helps? The refs on Saturday were bad. But URI's offe...

Rod is right Providence was bleak pre-Buddy, when the malls sucked all the department t stores from Downcity. It was a grim place.

Ramblinrose

The doc "Buddy" is a great companion piece to Prince of Providence. Difference between Cianci is that Cianci was a shrewd politician. Not sure Trump has those skills in working with others.

Pretty good coach? SMH

Ramblinrose

Rod is right. Attendance has always depended on winning. People get misty eyed about the great 1998-99 season. But not every game in Keaney sold out that season. How do you guys feel? I feel like Keaney with 3,200 was more of a home court advantage than the RC with 4,000. When the RC's had big crowd...

I admit CFL II is silly and maybe harsh. Things just feel stagnate and meandering. As for being a PC fan, no. I'd say it if it was true. Last PC game I saw (not against URI) was because I wanted to see Chris Mullin play. So it's been a while. Don't let the facts ...

Ramblinrose

Of course CFL II is an exaggeration But the guy was handed a contract extension after one NIT appearance. This season, with the Matthews injury, has been something of a bust. I'm getting too old for a 20-year rebuild.

Ramblinrose

Those books are terrfic guides to URI hoops. Yes, URI was once a big time program. Comparing the Sox and URI? Stop it. The Sox are run by a billionaire. URI is a middling program with little national identity. I'm still waiting for that to change. Right now I'd be happy if CFL II could get us to the...

Ramblinrose

RF1. Having anything resembling an inside game would get us to the line.

Ramblinrose

Rod wanted to fire Baron a week into his tenure. Lol

Ramblinrose

I don't think this team has recovered from EC's injury. And I don't think CFL II has either.

Ramblinrose

This blame the refs stuff is tiresome. How about hitting 75 percent of your free throws? How about a coach with the on court maturity of a grown man?

Ramblinrose

Did we keep the wrong Hurley? "This is a dead ass ballclub" Red Sox skipper Joe Morgan.

Ramblinrose

I realize it's not his priority, but Hurley is great on the post game, very funny. As opposed to ...

Ramblinrose

Complete effort ..smart play. They sliced and dice Richmond all night.

Ramblinrose

Has SLU ever recovered from Majerus' death?

Ramblinrose

Kid, you can start for Butler. But you'd never cut it at URI. Thing is, a kid from RI is starting for a Top 10 team. Doesn't happen very often.
Give him two weeks and McHale could start for URI now.

Ramblinrose

I don't think Andrew is 6-9. Probably 6-7. He never considered URI. ("You get to play before 3,700 fans at home") He's a fine player. Butler is a great fit for him. It's a great atmosphere. Brad Stevens recruited him at first, and the kid has handled that adjustment of a different head coa...

Ramblinrose

Normally I'd be pissed about going to OTagainst Brown. But a great win with a sadly depleted roster. We used to play a few home games at the Dunk each yeah. Harri ck loved it there. It never felt lime home. And fans turned out when the team won, stayed away in bad seasons. The more things change ...

Ramblinrose

TruePoint. Jim Harri ck would've been competing with Duke, Syracuse etc.

Ramblinrose

Well said, Rod. Years of Baron lulled us to sleep. Hurley energized the program but where's the beef? I realize he lost his top player minutes into the season, and maybe a second is badly hurt. Problem is, mediocrity like this doesn't breed anger. It breeds indifference. And at this point URI is in ...

Ramblinrose

I laughed at Blue Ram's fake dialogue. You have to to keep from crying.

Ramblinrose

I never thought of JR as much of player. I doubt he'd be significant here. I'm sure he's much happier now. Maybe he likes the staff, school environment better. It happens. And yeah, tossing out Belichick's name make sense only in comparing NFL coaches. And really, you can only compare coaches on the...

Ramblinrose

Rod, remember Sec. 8 during Penders? That was truly a home court advantage ...intimidating.

Ramblinrose

Not sure this team has psychologically recovered from Matthews' loss. We'd like to tell them to suck it up, deal with reality. But it hasn't happened yet. Plus, they can't hit free throws ...and that IS important.

Ramblinrose

I thought Ray's daughter said, "People will come" first. I've been going to games since 1975 and it's essentially been the same. The current crowds surpass Keaney's 3,200 capacity. But 3,700 in a 7,500 seat arena is no home court advantage. I remember some on this board wanted a 10,000 cap...

Ramblinrose

Students can't drive from Cranston for a game? If it were the PC game tonight, there'd be 7,200 fans. It has to be an "event."

Ramblinrose

What benefit is URI providing the A-10?

Ramblinrose

Inconsistent bit full of potential as time goes om.

Ramblinrose

Survivor is still on??

Ramblinrose

Rod I lime your concept of kids playing three years. But I'm afraid it's gone for good. Lots of cash in Europe. Tye only reason kids go to Kentucky is to take a few screw off classes for a semester, win a title and go in the first round. If there's no title, oh well. In addition to the 1992 Duke tea...

Ramblinrose

Rod, I'm sure Belichick,wqs ready to pull put his hair when Brady went dpwn, and probably sees 2008 as a wasted ,opportunity after 18-1. Cassel did a decent job and was in the right place. I like Hurley ut would not say s name in the same coaching breath as Belichick.I wish I could. And while Brady ...

Ramblinrose

I can still see this team winning 22 games. And the tourney committee asking where the quality wins are.

Ramblinrose

If this was was Baron's team, this board would be demanding Baron voodoo dolls.

Ramblinrose

I don't agree a ton with Donaldson. But he was right. Especially about Hurley imploring fans to turn out. EC's injury took some of the wind out, but attendance has been a srruggle. Can't blame Baron anymore.

Ramblinrose

Place felt dead. But a good win against a good team. Think we're all a little down from Saturday. I'm sure these small crowds drive Hurley nuts. Given how many free tickets float around it was probably 3,000 paid. Free throws? AGAIN AND AGAIN...

Ramblinrose

This reminds me of Jets fans still crowing about their 2010 playoff win against the Pats. If URI reached the Dance on of every four years it would improve everything for the program. Every 15 years means you're not a significant program. Hope it changes.

Ramblinrose

Oops. Misread the box score.

Ramblinrose

I feel like I'm watching the same game decade after decade ... a program of almost. Almost beat PC, almost beat Duke, almost beat Stanford. Coaches come and go and same result. The opposing coach praising how great our team played but lost by two points, blah, blah. It's like the pre-2004 Red Sox, o...

I admit I adjusted my expectations when Matthews went down. And it was clear from Hurley's initial reaction that he was badly shaken. He's had to realign his whole approach.

Ramblinrose

Things have been quiet on the Lamar front. All I've heard is he has a long way to go but apparently won't need a kidney transplant. But it's dibs and drabs.

Ramblinrose

It's the least of my worries. But game presentation is seldom a strength at the RC. I'm talking about chatterbox Dan Yorke. Take a breath, buddy.

Ramblinrose

Sometimes a change of venue is great for a kid. That may be the case here. I remember one of my favorite players, Mike Brown, transferred in.

Ramblinrose

I think a lot of us get mad about free throws because they are the one thing some of us can do as well as the players do. Though most of us will never shoot them in front of 4,000 people.

Ramblinrose

URI IS hardly the only program where players can't hit free throws or shoot. Thank you, AAU.

Ramblinrose

I missed the game because of work. I bet a lot of fans did. But fan support is always wait and see. Crowds pick up if the team is good. Now that we're playing for the NIT, big crowds may be few and far between.

Ramblinrose

Why the Koch hate?

Ramblinrose

A classy guy. This has to be so devastating for the kid, his season ended and his career suddenly dealt a setback.
Worse URI moment for me since Stanford.
