Game 2: Marist

section(105) · Unread post by **section(105)** » 7 years ago

Located in the the Mid Hudson Valley, Poughkeepsie NY, is a MAAC Conference team that has had a long run of poor seasons. Their bright spot in history is the Rik Smits(Duunking Dutchman) a 7'4" player that had successful NBA career with the Indiana Pacers. Like many European players he could run the floor, hit outside shots, and play off the dribble. Lately they have struggled to draw fans, turnstile of coaches and compete in the MAAC. Their longest term Coach, Dave Magarity, was run off campus for failure to deliver to the next level. Since then, coaches go there to get canned or leave. They were a NEC team prior to the MAAC. If I recall correctly, our former AD, Ron Petro, took them from D3, playing in a high school gym, to D1. One of their local challenges, which I still think is true, is that the women's team draws more fans and is more popular and hugely more successful than the men's team, coached by a nationally known local Coach Brian Geogis, in his 15th year. He lead a local catholic high school girls teams to multiple state titles and national rankings. I also recall Dan Hurley was thinking about going there, and then thought better of that. And of course "picking you feet in Poughkeepsie", in the movie French Connection is probably what Poughkeepsie is known for.....Will Daniels, whom I think played for near by Roosevelt HS in Hyde Park was a POK product....nice walkway bridge over the Hudson River is another
attraction...hoops, not so much....

They had a pretty good point guard from CT named Jared Jordan back about 10 years ago. Haven't done much since.

My guess is we have a real shot to hit 100 against these guys......

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 7 years ago

After this game I'd like to here their coach compare is to Duke and see where he thinks we might stack up against them.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 7 years ago

Duke is freaking scary...when you get freshmen playing that well right from the jump.......

If we try to take their 3 pt.game away, they have the size to dominate inside...weaknesses?

Their game against Kansas will tell more.......wish they were only playing cupcakes until they play us.....although I think Coach K won't sleep on us due to Jimmy Baron going off on them years ago....I sure he remembers that.

Let's beat Cincy first before we start talking about matching up with Duke...

How are we still overlooking them? They were picked to win the AAC and have been to to the tournament 6 straight years.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 7 years ago

I was going to add that...my bad....can't assume we will be playing Duke

This thread is about Marist...and yet people are posting about Duke and Cincy. Interesting.

Marist are coming off a 94-49 loss to Duke at Cameron Indoor in their opening game off the year. They played 10 guys double digits in the blowout loss to Duke. Interesting that 2 of their 3 to returning scorers came of the bench against Duke. Their starters vs Duke were

G 6'2" Senior Newark, DE Khallid Hart
He is the returning top scorer from last year averaging 20.3 PPG, he had 13 points against Duke in 33 minutes

6' 4" Soph Copenhagen, Denmark David Knudsen
He averaged 4.3 PPG last year and was held scoreless against Duke in 14 minutes

6'5" Soph Clarence, NY Ryan Funk
He averaged 6.1 PPG last year and had 7 points against Duke in 21 minutes

6'4" Soph Baltimore, MD Isiah Lamb
He averaged 7.8 PPG last year and had 2 points and 5 boards against Duke in 23 minutes

6'8" Senior Bronx, NY Kentrall Brooks
He averaged 3.8 PPG last year and had 5 points and 4 boards against Duke in 10 minutes

OFF THE BENCH

6'6" Soph Reykanesbear, Iceland Kristinn Palsson
He averaged 8.7 PPG last year and had 5 points against Duke in 22 minutes

6'2" Soph Cleveland, OH Brian Parker
He averaged 15.9 PPG last year and had 5 points against Duke in 25 minutes

6'1" Soph Michigan City, IN Richie Mitchell
He had 9 points against Duke in 23 minutes

They brought a pair of 6'9" guys off the bench as well that each played 13 minutes eho combined for 3 points and 7 boards

Should be another 20 point plus win for Rhody against a young and undersized team

And Duke is still missing their top 3 freshman who are all expected to go in the top 7 or 8 of next year's draft, including 2 of the top 3.

I guess the journalism skills in Poughkeepsie are as bad as their men's basketball team. Looks like we just picked up a couple of transfers from Dartmouth

Article has been updated. Previously said that the Red Foxes would now have to contend with Rhode Island's Evan Beaudreux and Guilien Smith.

I like a team that has dudes on it from Denmark and Iceland

......Hopefully the POK Journal will cover correctly the beat down the Rhody women put on their beloved Lady Red Foxes.....very impressive....

Anybody else notice people in the media like on WPRI and some articles around the internet saying,
" first time Rhode Island's been ranked since 1998..."
Without mentioning how we were ranked in 07-08?

What, do you expect local media to do research? Asking way too much here.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 7 years ago

first time being ranked in the preseason poll since 98 is what they are referring to

.....would like to see nice run up early, and then PT to the second rotation especially Jeff Dowtin, really like to see him get even more comfortable running the offense....

The key stat tonight will be Marist's shooting percentage. If URI is to have a truly elite D you'd like to see it under 30.

Anyone know if the Atlantic10 APP game tonight can be streamed to the TV (Chromecast)?

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 7 years ago

Should be able to do that a variety of ways.

Martyf250 · Unread post by **Martyf250** » 7 years ago

What kind of phone? I bet someone else with chrome cast knows best way.

Anyone know how serious his ankle injury is? Hopefully he's just out to get him to 100% by this weekend.
