Four can shoot it, but not a whole lot else.

CT has more overall game, and a much higher upside.

Good for us.

Remember how he was lost on D not too long ago? And now he was able to slow down Dunn?

Now that's something to build on.
Could not agree more. There will be few that shut down Dunn, and...when I first saw CT on him, I was not at all optimistic. Turns out he did a very adequate job. Cheers!

Agree I thought Thompson did a very commendable job on Dunn. Just the fact that Hurley would have the freshman, Thompson, cover Dunn at all should say something.

I wonder if Penders will be at the game. This year's Houston's team reminds me of his Houston teams.

I wonder if he had a hand in getting them here.

Saying Four is the best player? Thats what people do. They pick a favorite.

Usually it is according to how you like the game played and the guy's style. Nothing new.

The last thing I am trying to do is insult Four, but he just is not our best player.

No I was referring to Rambone and Hal Kopp's comments. Not you, we're cool lol

If we had won, I would have said 6,000.

Such is the nature of URI fandom.

I would be surprised and impressed if we got 5000. This is more of a reason we should have let in more than 1500 students on Saturday - there is a chance the students might show up again if they have a good time, but only 1500 of them got to experience that atmosphere.

Penders sometimes seats himself in my section, I will be on the lookout.......

1501, I found a student in need of a ticket.

I thought Penders was "Persona non grata", after his
shots on Twitter at the Marketing Dept. a year ago?

Interestingly the 5 kids sitting next to me in 203 all said they were students who couldnt get tickets so they had their parents buy them online that afternoon. That's kinda encouraging.

If 4,000 show for tonight's game, I'll be surprised.

I'm wearing my Patriots hoodie tonight, instead of
my usual Rhody stuff.
See if that works.
Wait, it didn't work for the Pats Sunday......

URI -8.5 for sure. URI beats down inferior opponents at home.

I'll be in the building reminding Kelvin Sampson of all his past improprieties. Go Rhody!

Oh no Bryan Kersey one of the refs. Isn't he the guy that T's up anybody named Hurley within minutes of tip off?

Tough to drive down to Kingston on a Tuesday after work for myself up northern RI. This shouldn't be a representation of the fan base. Bad game time.

Hell of a first half.

Solid half

KMar970 · Unread post by **KMar970** » 8 years ago

21 points for a team who averages 90... solid defensive half by the rams

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 8 years ago

Great first half. No PC hangover it appears. Up 12 with Garrett having to spend most of the half on the bench.

hrstrat57 · Unread post by **hrstrat57** » 8 years ago

Shooting into that empty seat background is going to be a potential problem 2nd half.

Can we get some upper deck folks to move down please?

We might not score again

This doesn't feel like a 6 point game, hopefully won't be for long

Houston goes to a zone defense and URI looks completely lost on the floor, I dont know why teams dont use zone defense on us more. So going to a zone defense Houston keeps players out of foul trouble and gets back into the game. I guess its ok to play a zone defense once in a while.

If you play zone for a couple of possessions every now and then, you're basically going zone the whole game and that just can't happen

I know that Four is off again tonight, but you have to have him in there against this zone. That is why he is at URI.

Why is 4 not in the game to close this out from the line? I heard he can shoot free throws?

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 8 years ago

Four is in the doghouse apparently

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 8 years ago

I think they were doing a little offense/defense with Four when they could. Houston's quickness has been a problem for him on defense.

Joe · Unread post by **Joe** » 8 years ago

Seems like Hurley has him in for free throws then subs him out for D

KMar970 · Unread post by **KMar970** » 8 years ago

even four a 90 % foul shooter---cant shoot free throws lol

Yes that is what they were doing but if there is no whistle you can't get him back on the floor for offense. I think in this game situation you have to just play for the free throws. If you make them they can't come back.

Cover. Nice. We're on to Nebraska.

Good win off of the PC game. On to the flat lands.

hrstrat57 · Unread post by **hrstrat57** » 8 years ago

That's a good win cougars might end up top 50 RPI

Reminded me a lot of a less skilled Dayton

13-27 tho yikes.

We need to get butts in those seats behind the basket. Why can't EZBuckets invite folks to move down at half time? Like shooting the ball into a black hole.

JG money baller tonight big time!

860_rhody · Unread post by **860_rhody** » 8 years ago

Nice. JG played great and Hassan was good as always. Still below 50% FT though. Overall a good win over a competitive UCONNference team.

I'm not that nice.

Needed a win, got a win.
Now on to Nebraska, Iona, and ODU.
