Game 18: vs LaSalle Saturday Jan. 16, 2:30
Our game is at 2:30.
The students are still gone.
The Pats are on tv at 4:30.
What will the actual attendance be?

Re: Game 18: vs LaSalle Saturday Jan. 16, 2:30
3000-3500. No students, team pulling more el foldos. Bad opponent.
Possible messy weather too.
Perfect storm for poor attendance.
Another thing: Don't expect a high scoring game against LaSalle.
See what they did against Dayton, a team that likes to play uptempo?
The Explorers held the ball. Cuts down the number of possessions. Puts more pressure on us to score.
Probably makes us play slow too. Just what we need. Not.
Our advantage is that we're home. We need to jump on them early, and get them out of that slowdown by putting a lot of defensive pressure on them.
Otherwise, they could hang around until the end. And we all know what that means......

4,000 if the weather holds up. Saturday afternoon actually seems to be a decent draw day/time.

I would like to see Jared T shutdown Price again. JT really shutdown him down last year in a nice effort.
I think JT also put some points on the Explorers.
@TheBlueRam, maybe this team gets a win and gets 1 game over .500 in A10 play?
We need a win. We should win. I just don't trust that coach for Lasalle to let URI just own them for years. He is too good to continue to get beat.

I expect us to come out like gangbusters and beat them by 30.
But, so what?
Means zilch. Nothing. Nada.
What means something is the next game, at GW.
Who here thinks we'll win that game?
Will we continue the maddening slow down game, if we have a lead late?
If so, loss. If we keep the pedal to the metal, and win the game, then maybe there's hope.
To me, that's the only hope.

105, I'm getting too old for that.
Might fall asleep before we score......
P.S. Also a good thing we don't have a stand up before we score in the last 5 minutes of games.
We would never sit down, might as well walk out.........

We are gonna beat them by 20.... Lose at GW by 6-10 pts and then beat Fordham and St Joes at home and I'm not gonna get excited at all. Even if we play amazing basketball like we did against St. Louis and Richmond. I'll be there though.

67, I go to several games a year. Just walk up, though.
I can't buy even the mini plans yet because there always seems to be a conflict with my work schedule.
That will change soon though.

You think fans want to feel gloomy? I want to be happy and excited I was again after Richmond. I thought we turned a corner and finally would pick up a good road win I went to the coaches show all pumped up and then what happened? I'm going to go to the games but until they show me they can win a good game on the road (feel like I've said that for 15 years) I'm not going to be happy. Go ahead and flip out about wins over teams at home...

Not for me to judge what's 'ok' and what isn't...people can do what they want, but with everything else happening in an average life, shouldn't sports (something you can only watch...with absolutely ZERO impact) be a pleasure-time diversion? It just doesn't seem healthy to let it have a negative impact on your psyche.Keatgsr07 wrote:I don't get why it's not okay to be unhappy with this team and the program's lack of success?

Seems like it should be possible (and would be healthier?) to 'care' without scraping the depths of gloom and despair when 'the team' loses. If they win, awesome! If not, when's the next game? Gloom and misery after losses...doesn't make anyone more or less of a fan. Every team in the A10 has a chance to win the A10 tournament...and that's two months away...run with it. It's not like it influences your paycheck or family (hopefully!)...enjoy what's left and have fun.

the fussing about the Coach Leaving will be well before the National Championship Banner is bestowed upon us. My guess the Coach leaving would start if we get the the Championship Game of the A10.

Re: Game 18: vs LaSalle Saturday Jan. 16, 2:30
You are right, but I am an odd duck always not just at games. You would see me cheering just as loudly and passionately as any fan there (student or adult). I jump out of my seat for great plays...I stand and cheer during rallies, sometimes before anyone around me. I yelled out "MISS!" at the top of my lungs in a completely silent gym at St. Joe's when their guy was on the free throw line. (you can kinda hear it at about the 7:30 mark if you have the recording ).Keatgsr07 wrote:I don't know you, obviously, but you would be an odd duck to watch a game with.NYGFan_Section208 wrote:Not for me to judge what's 'ok' and what isn't...people can do what they want, but with everything else happening in an average life, shouldn't sports (something you can only watch...with absolutely ZERO impact) be a pleasure-time diversion?

My reaction when Bentil put that shot in at the buzzer was the same as most everyone there...--> surrender cobra with a barely audible "F---" thrown in. That sucked. But, I dwelled on it less afterwards than I would have if they'd won...was pretty much over it by the time I got home (and I live really close by). I'll celebrate the wins with the best of 'em, but not going to spend much time dwelling on the losses. Sports is sposed to be fun and that just seems to defeat the purpose.

Hopefully, that's ok? I went to one school, but with two going here...a lot more of my $ is going to this one. And, I love college hoops, this team in particular...enough to move from CT, buy season tix and make it to some games on the road as well...

Glad to see about Terrell.
Looks like he got the message.....
He's still an important part of this team going forward.
