In all seriousness losing a game like this should be grounds for termination.

I've had no issues with the stream. I have a lot of issues with what I've been watching though.

Yes, that is another issue entirely!

Is E.C. Matthews the most overrated player in the history of Rhode Island basketball? I'm not saying it because of tonight, I never saw what others apparently see in him. NBA? Not a chance.

Dawan Robinson was better.

These announcers discussing whether we would take the chance and keep EC in the game with three fouls. You mean the EC that went scoreless the whole first half, against Fordham?

Fordham is a turnover machine....and they're winning?

Many players were better...and they didn't go to the NBA.

Good one 87......people think it can't get any worse...well we'll show THEM!

Remember, when things start going south, they start going south in a hurry.....

scine 20, start saving your pennies...we'll buy him out....we wish.

Dawan was a warrior, EC is as soft as Charmin.....

Metro Rams help defense shutting down JT dribble drive....

Well scouted by Fordham not gonna get beat by 1 on 1 play. If our shooters don't step up to create some space that door is gonna stay shut.

57, that's coaching on their part....we don't have that luxury.

How many big shots at the end of games did Robinson hit? I can think of 3 games specifically that he either won or hit huge shots to help win games in the final minute. He basically beat an NCAA tournament team in Charlotte in 2003 by himself with huge 3's at the end of regulation.

When E.C. Matthews is taking a big shot in the final minute it's usually hurried up with plenty of time left to take a good shot.

short lived lead

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

Roady Jay is PISSED! And he should be...we are beyond horrible.

We might not even score 50...and if this is close at the end we will lose.

another great showing at the FT line

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

This is a home game? Really?

Whoever showed up for this should demand refunds.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 7 years ago

This gives new meaning to the word UGLY.

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

Not one person on this board would shoot a lower FT %, no matter your age and even so out of breath you could barely stand up. 3-9? REALLY?

I can see with seconds left in the game, that's just choking. But with 12 minutes left? HOW???

If they lose this, I can't wait the hear Dan at the next Dan Hurley Excuses Show...

It's watching film that's for sure.

We are 10 field goals better than these other Rams.

Lifeless on offense.

JG might be asked to do more than he expected tonight....Dowtin is wilting on the Fordham help D completely stymied so far.

Back door baseline wide open, maybe JG will see it...

This is silly. Who hasn't been critical of Hurley at some point this season? That isn't the point. Overall, the team has had a disappointing season but we are at the end of February and they control their own destiny. So while the coach deserves criticism for this first half and for some other things during the season, it's just a matter of perspective that you don't call to fire a coach because of a bad half, or a bad last 30 seconds or a bad game. I'm not predicting this, but if URI wins the second half by 20, wins their next 7 games, goes to the tournament and upsets somebody, you'll still want to fire the coach because of a bad first half against Fordham or not winning at Houston? To me, just let all the data accumulate then assess where you're at instead of having a knee jerk reaction to everything that happens.

We always struggle with Fordham. Turn it up!

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

I would stop watching.....but I can't.....it's like you know what's coming and you have this morbid curiosity to find out......

I'm going to Florida next week and will forget they are playing....thank goodness.

Guys, this is the kind of game where if they lose....this will open some eyes big time in the administration.....

And even if they win, it should also.

TP, they've had more than just a bad first half tonight....what about Richmond, LaSalle, and other bad halves and games they've played?

And all of the close losses making the same mistakes like they're doing tonight?

And the FT's? It's beyond bad, and getting worse....and you think they are going to turn this around on a dime?

If you still think so, then you might be the only one left here that does. Even ramster....and that's saying something.

WIth 10:26 left in the game, the visiting team, optimistic and energized, leads

Fordham 38, URI 36

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

What a POS display

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

The Rhody Rams, apparently unable to consistently hit treys or foul shots in this game, continues to struggle against Fordham, with the game knotted with 7:55 left to play.

URI 38, Fordham 38

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

If we lose this, and anybody continues with the "what if" game....they should be terminated. Just joking, but.....

Our RPI might go high enough to keep us out of the NIT......would be fitting.

The eye test people must be having fun with this. We fail on all counts.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 7 years ago

I still think we'll win. But, holy shit

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

I said we usually shoot around 40% on FT's against Fordham.......sorry I was a little high.

Team Rhody continues to watch the game slip away from them.

With 3:40 to go, Fordham, who has not won in the Ryan Center since 2007, now leads by five.

Fordham 45, URI 40

And I thought we couldn't look any worse that we did against Stanford in the NIT. Silly me.

I'm done if they lose this......the baron 2.0 thread will run wild...as it should.

I will try and rip this coaching staff whenever possible though...they deserve it.
