A representative, and a few MOB members were invited to the Alumni Lounge gathering and spoke saying they have a bit over 200 "signed-up" members and on any given game there are +/= 150. So, it appears they are organized to some degree. A some times visitor in the seat next to me asked me;...

Not much to add, these guys work there ass off on each defensive possession. The effort they put forth as a Hurley team is quite impressive, and closing out the game still haunts these guys. Hare is coming along, as Bob Hurley said in the post game, he erases some of the defensive breakdowns, more p...

"Cause we/re fans, and see our program as one that a league would want. Our TV market is??......I would imagine that with the recent uncertainty of our recent past football decisions, others may look upon URI as a less than desirable commodity. Also. I would like to think there's some comprehen...

Dream on.....but then again, maybe the winds of change keep blowing around with the Big East defections etc,...... but the going forward for the A-10 has got to be a focus on building a strong basketball conference with major TV markets. The bigger issue for the A-10 might be how to try to keep some...

section(105)

Out quick'em........would love to see that. Which brings me to a question. Assume we get some defensive boards, do we have the court speed to push the ball for fast break score and does Coach Hurley want that and only when we/ve got the numbers advantage? Fast break points do not seem to be part of ...

section(105)

Glad we cleared up the who's who regarding the PA announcer and on-the-floor guy. I used to directly appeal to him to give "stuff"(pizza) to the section 105 folks, whom get lost behind radio, score board ops, stat people, timers, video ops etc. etc. Once he delivered!! i think he does an O...

would like to see Chris get more time on our radio broadcasts, I guess Don is a fixture, but when there's time to look to others, I hope Chris gets consideration...........

section(105)

With the current team that has major offensive challenges, and relies on its defense to compete and fight for wins, we/ll probably experience posters continuing(as it should be)to offer their view of plays and players in equal distribution of critical observations.

section(105)

Even with the one win(for now)I still think someone in the bottom 1/4 group is going to win; hope I am wrong, but thus far from what I/ve seen and digested not many wins out there...............

Maybe a RI version of the Governor's Cup is worth a look, Brown, URI, PC, Bryant going at it in some format??

section(105)

This one was the first Coach Hurley URI win; and feel good win for this group of players faced with much chance for heads down; yet, they still dig in make the plays when needed against a less than NCAA team to grab a win. This I would suggest this is one of those few we/ll get as a W, especially on...

section(105)

Yes to the standing O come Wednesday; maybe those folks that sit during most happenings in the RC will acknowledge this; nice stats on points made on their TO/s; still going forward gonna be a rough road, but now I think we/ll get some major MO and go on a litle run..........

section(105)

Thx for the link to the game, great win and finally "validates" the course of action by the coaches for this program. Even if/when I see other teams trying to take away X from those points, I think he can get-some but now there's others to help. Not exactly a NCAA level team we played, but...

section(105)

Regarding one of the rasberries; "a post positioned player......" unfortunately within this curent group, we aint's gots that........I do think in the future we/ll have that in abundance with players coming being added for next season, and with the potential that Jordan Hare is showing, I ...

Once upon a time, in the not so distant past, the person occupaying the seat next to me("at the time she didn't know whether the ball was stuffed with air or feathers") used to complain about "why he took so long to start things.........") I used to tell her, you/re gonna miss hi...

section(105)

I think we should hold off on the Hurley group being outcoached stuff; this group as is and what we/ve seen is going to continue to struggle getting wins; the "A" game needed to do that has so many variables that all of them coming together on the same nite is not going to happen often eno...

section(105)

The late game inbounds poor plays which resulted in turnovers killed us, mix in some poor freethrow %, sprinkle in the failure to get rebounds on missed Loyola freethrows and we end up again on the short end. Difficult to watch this team give so much effort and come up short. Hare, besides what has ...

With continued work and some additional emphasis on getting the ball to him down low, will help openup the perimeter shooters, tough nite for Powell.

I have no beef with not using the TO. I think SH coach knew and would have been able to defend Mumford as the desired URI go-to-guy in his huddle. I would rather inbound the ball and expect the SH defense would not be in optimal positions. Muchly agree with ramfan85. As for drawing up a play, at thi...

section(105)

If months ago, we said we would be 0-4, and the players and coaches would have demonstrated a complete break from the past 2-3 years, I would have signed up for that. Creep before walk.

TJ, we gots players who dig in and play hard defense, he/s one of those. However, in a group of limited offense weapons, another one(TJ) is just another player with no/limited O. that hurts. X is an offensive force, my concern, and it happened to nite, teams will doulble up on him when he gets the p...

OK, no way to spin this one differently, we should have won this one. The made three(late), but called NG due to shot clock violation hurt.

I think coaches do get togehter and yack often...........part of their code in the frat?

section(105)

maybe they should consider moving it around New England, with a "host" home team to draw; Hartford/Mohegan with UConn, Springfield/Worcester with UMassHoly Cross, Boston Garden with BC, dare I saw the Dunk with URI/PC, or think big with the Ryan Center.............Would Dave Gavett agree??

section(105)

and may I add that we saw a bit of 2-3 active zone tonite, eventhou the man2man is the prime defense, the change of looks I think will help, maybe keep Hare out of foul trouble and get him some boards............and isn't it nice to be able to watch, enjoy and speak about hoops again??

section(105)

Just back in Narragansett, take aways were; Hare showed some flashes of what can be, on a second 1/2(maybe another one)sequence on a Powell dribble drive, Hare rolled to strong side, opened up to receive ball, Powell made pass and off Hare's hands for TO. However, the sequence shows me he/s been coa...

For what its worth; based on the limited PT he gets and I/ve seen, I think we/ll have a serviceable big man rather than a beast, and I can live with that as the new bigs come in and make greater potential impact...........

I am not at all ready to give up on him, but I have to say he did come to us with a degree of hype/expectations that I do not think we have seen any of yet. I am patient here with him, but was expecting to have seen more on the court presence. Clearly two games does not a season make, but..............

Way to many missing pieces for this group, going to be long, long season. I think we all knew that, and are going to have to settle for the development of individual players, with setting a team defensive mindset, have a few games we win, others we/ll hang around(when we shoot lights out)and the res...

section(105)

Jordan Hare, thus far is a major disappointment; he's appears to be not ready, nor prepared for this level of play, I am beginning to also question his motor.

We seem to dig ourselves the early big hole, is the Rhody "A" game this year more of the same but making a few more shots?? I know the sked is set well in advance, but maybe this team(and next years?)could benfit from some cupcakes in the early pre-conference sked??

section(105)

As an FYI, I believe there has been arranged, a "behind the scenes" tour of this and the other behind the curtain RC things sked for the home game in the Big Chill Weekend home game in Feb '13.
