Game 16: LaSalle Thursday Jan 12 @ 7pm CBS Sports Network
Re: Game 16: LaSalle Thursday Jan 12 @ 7pm CBS Sports Network
Glad we drove an hour to see this disaster.. Bye bye Hurley. Offense is putrid.. His trademark defense is putrid... He made zero adjustments that half. Standing there pouting..... Probably fans fault or the rims are crooked.. Press the whole second half and show some balls. This team does not have a true leader.. Someone step up and do something

Absolutely the worst effort in a long time. Dan - leave the refs alone, there are a "couple" of other issues to deal with. Show some heart!

If URI doesn't flip this around in 2nd half this is a season ending loss.
Teams that get beat this badly in their own building by inferior opponents cannot get off the bubble in March.
No chance.
This has to be a W. Deal breaker otherwise. Absolute season killer and a loss that will be epic and talked about for years.
20 minutes. Or done.

Pathetic.....being pathetic.
Dan getting out coached, players getting outplayed + out hustled...
If this isn't a time when you hold your team after the game to run sprints until they puke idk what is...
You're not always gonna have your A game sometimes you have your D stuff but the champions are able to WIN UGLY. That starts with winning the effort and mental aspects of the game which we are just terrible at

Does Dan Hurley = Lane Kiffin???
Not referring to ethical aspects....but in regards to being a young entitled coach who got where he in large part because of his fathers success?
I hope not, hope he has a pair and speaks on radio after loss.
Also can announcer please stop referring to hurley as an excellent coach

All I read on this board is how bad of coaches John Giannini and Derek Kellogg are. Well, if thats the case, where does Danny Hurley stand? If his last name wasn't Hurley, but was Smith, would he get as much slack?

Re: Game 16: LaSalle Thursday Jan 12 @ 7pm CBS Sports Network
They might come back some, but they'll fall short....no excuse even if they do.
Shoot 26% against a bad defensive team...at home...and play zero defense and foul everybody in sight.
And we thought Dayton was bad against UMass.....
Have they quit? If so, then Hurley should be in some serious trouble.
TP, this is ridiculous......it really does look like they have quit.

Do elite defensive teams typically give up 20 to 25 unmolested lay ups a game?
These performances are inevitable for average teams, not good teams. Certainly not teams that have put themselves in a position they have concerning the dream of being considered for the tournament.

I don't get pulling all the starters. Yes they were playing bad as a group but there's no way our bench is going to make a come back from over 20 down. Should have pulled 2-3 starters tops.

I mean that comes down to coaching and preparation right? There should be a base level of expectation which we don't get too high or too low in comparison...but there are some wild-ass swings w.r.t. individual players and the team as a whole. By no means do I want Dan gone or anything because our program could do a LOT worse, but as Belichick says we've got to play better AND coach better.section(105) wrote:.......I have to ask....how can an alleged NBA draft choice, score zero in this half and last game too?.....if I recall correctly.....

josephski, DH is trying to send a message....but it looks like it's not going to really matter.
It's DH who can't adjust when things so south.......other coaches change things up and they work.....we don't change anything even if it isn't working.
Now we see why we can't win close games....forget a wake up call.....this team is done.
When does baseball start?
rhodyruckus...sorry to disagree but with the talent here we could and can do a lot better...if it takes another couple of years to get on track with a new coach...so be it...anything is better than watching this coach piss it all away.
Preston Murphy...URI turns it's lonely eyes to you.......

The EC stuff, and we all LOVE the kid, is classic 'head-case' issues. 30 one game, none the next, against similar level competition? Afraid to shoot, sometimes even afraid to mix it up. You can tell Dan is telling EC to shoot. But after he misses a few, he stops. Sometimes it's on the player. I feel for the kid, but wow.

As bad as they we're playing our bench just doesn't have the scorers to make a come back of 20 points. I know Hurley was trying to send a message but I'm not sure that was the best way to do it.Seawrightspostgame wrote:Thats funny. Nitpicking whether to pull half or all of the starters.

This effort tonight is pathetic. Nobody is more disgusted by it than I am. But it doesn't tell you any more about this team the blowout wins we were coming off of a week ago. Over the course of 30 games, you lay some eggs. It doesn't change who or what the team is, fundamentally. They are no less likely to win the A10T than they were this morning. The beef a lot of people have had with this team is that they aren't clutch, not that they suck. Tonight, they suck. I don't think they suddenly suck, I think they sucked tonight.
I'm not saying it doesn't matter that they sucked tonight. It does, because they are making a difficult task even more difficult. But the team is still a good team - which is exactly WHY this effort tonight is so pathetic and so disappointing.

Preston Murphy...URI turns it's lonely eyes to you.......
A) Hurley is a very good recruiter at an A10 level, I think we can all agree on this. Even if we get a better in-game coach, I don't think the next coach can recruit as well as Hurley's staff, leading to...
B) Looking at how URI has been "thinking small" in the athletic department, if Hurley is run out prematurely how do we know the next coaching search won't be done with a fraction of the salary Dan made? We can try our hand at a low major up and comer but could be in the same position as now in 5 years when the new guy's flaws are exposed.
I'm not saying wait 5 more years like CFL, but I think a fully informed decision is still 1-2 years away...

Not that the odds of coming back are great, but they aren't helped by fouling or giving up a basket every time down. You have to get stops.
