love that timeout by coach---not a good start bury this team

When's the last time Dowtin hit a shot? Beside on that last charging call on JT. Only up 15, seems like it should easily be 30. St Joes is decimated and not good. Jarvis continues to make plays

Jeff Dowtin is
1-17
In his last three games

URI needs to get its Sh!t together. 5 fouls before the under 16 is just sloppy.

I just don't get EC. I really don't. Very frustrating to watch and I'd love to know what's in his head during these games. TAKE IT TO THE HOOP KID, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

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

We keep making horrible pass after horrible pass...into the interior of the defense.
I think Jarvis may get his starting job back.

Remember when Dowtin couldn't miss?

Ditto. Makes some of the worst turnovers, consistently, I have ever seen from a quality player

.....as much as I like Jeff, and with the passes Jarvis made thus far.....I have no beef with JG starting again....

Great to see Thompson hit a 3, been a while for him too. Still think he can be a solid shooter

Holy mother of hell we like to foul.

So glad Christion made that three!

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

the only thing keeping me sane right now is STJ is equally bad in shooting free throws.

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

Funny the announcer just said that St Joe's this year has been brutal from the line shooting only 63.0% and last in the A10

I thought that we were worse than that but I looked it up and we are 63.1%. So must have been Garrett's 12-12 that got us out of the cellar by .1%

Been such an Achilles heel for us this year, hope it doesn't kill us during this run up to the NCAA's...

This has become another horrible game to watch.
With all the fouls and now Martelli calls some meaningless timeout.

Not looking forward to that. Just wanted to see Mike run around. Huck up some 3 balls.

I'm curious to see what Martelli has to say after the game. As an elder statesman of the league, it would be nice if he pumped our tires a little bit, but he's such a petty snake who knows what he is capable of saying.

lol I wasn't complaining! Just making an observation - actually I thought it was pretty complimentary. If you play a good enough floor game to win by 20 on the road on a night where you couldn't hit the road side of a barn, that's a good floor game.

Good thing we are playing a shit team tonight. Can someone get in EC's face and try to get some emotion out of him and maybe he will play better.

Seriously. Take care of the ball EC. Have some conviction in your passing & shots.

Done, done, on to the next one.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 7 years ago

Just win the next one.

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

Laysaard still scoreless.
We should've taken the last shot.
Like why not?
Give a walk on another shot or Mike.
Interesting that Berry wasn't put in.

Easy W.
7-2 on the road in the A-10.

Always good to hold a team under 50.

20 wins

Keep rollin.
Probably could've won by thirty again, but we'll all take it.

Now we need some bubble teams to lose tonight!

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

Played everybody tonight I think.......oops no Berry? Bet he's happy.....

Dowtin hitting the freshman wall? Good thing JG is back and playing well.

EC? Who knows? But a performance like that against a quality opponent and we're toast.

4-26 from 3.....uglyyyyyyyy........but all of a sudden we're beasts from the line.....

We would drive a shrink crazy.

Cmon man. The game is over. It is poor form to try to score there. Fights have broken out over less.

Sweep The Leg · Unread post by **Sweep The Leg** » 7 years ago

EC has morphed into Biggie Minnis on offense. Outstanding in the open court, but totally lost and a turnover machine in the half court.

And his defense sucks. He was scored on all night tonight. He probably gave up 20-25% of SJU's points.

I seriously think he's playing not to get hurt and that's when you get hurt. In the VCU game, when he didn't dive for that loose ball, I immediately thought that, but tried to think of an alternative reason like not leaving the opposing basket wide open in case of a breakaway, but that happened anyway. Those lack of effort plays on 50/50 balls and his offensive style change have convinced me.

A win at hawk hill is a good thing.....even tho we reinforced the walls with a lotta bricks....

On to Wildcats Saturday - got sweet seats excited!

Let's get to 21!

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

Good win at a place where URI has heavily struggled. Dan has a plethora of coaching decisions to now make like if Garrett gets the start, what to do about EC's minutes, and weather or not he wants to try to incorporate CT more. Lets not forgot the potential CT had before his injury ridden season. He very well could make or break us come the A10 tournament.

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

Play mad defense and we will win Saturday......even though Dowtin is struggling on offense we need him against Gibbs.....keep him from going off and it's good.....

Man reading some of these posts has me going back to check the score and make sure we didn't actually lose by 20.

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

Our starters were 1-18 from 3 PT stripe, last game against SJU we hit 16 threes. Such is life.
Jarvis looking better, more confident, only can be a good thing. SJU was so bad it's tough to take much from this one.
Survive and advance.

We won on Hawk Hill, I won't ever complain about that. But biggest game for the rest of the season, is the next one. Go Rhody!

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

Jarvis is being helped by being fresh......not worn down like some might be getting.....JD?

That could pay nice dividends coming up.

Anyway, after Sat. they all get 5 full days to get ready for the A10's.

I don't think anybody's ever gotten pissed when a walk on has taken the last shot.
I think that level of sportsmanship is bs.
Like why does it have to be a big deal if some guys who never get to play are allowed by their coach to get a shot up at the end of a game like that.
I think it's better to let the walk ons and bench warmers get as much playing time as they can get.

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

Always great to beat St. Joe's, especially at Hawk Hill.
Lousy game, though.
Dowtin, Terrell, and EC were no shows.
EC got his points, on 28% shooting.
It's not often you see a starter shoot as many bricks as he does.
The three of them put up enough to build a house
for one of the Three Little Pigs.
15% from 3?
Hassan came to play. So did Iverson.
Looks like Jarvis Garrett picked a great time to get back.
He played with confidence and energy.
4 assists, 3 steals, 1 turnover.
Rambone, how could Dowtin be gassed, when he only became a starter
9 games or so ago?
The only guy who averages 30 minutes on this team, is Terrell.
20 wins, and on a hot streak.
On to Davidson and Senior Night!

This win bumps us up to 49 in the kenpom rankings and 30th in his defensive rankings

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 7 years ago

Dowtin has struggled shooting recently and Jarvis is looking more and more healthy.

However, we've won 8 out of 10, I'd keep starting Dowtin, even if Jarvis plays more minutes (which I think he eventually will.)

And will someone PLEASE tell me why EC seems so disinterested 95% of the time?

Constantly disappears, then out of nowhere he'll have a between the legs step back jumper where he looks like an NBA prospect (like tonight in the corner in the second half.) Such a confusing player....

adam914 wrote:Man reading some of these posts has me going back to check the score and make sure we didn't actually lose by 20.

I was the making the exact same thing

We just set a URI record with the 7 A10 road wins
We have depth on the bench ready and waiting
Starting guards went 5-22 FG and 1-15 on threes but 7-7 FTs

Again our big men play solid with Martin and Iverson combing for 9-16 FG, 5-6 FTs, 16 rebounds, 2 blocks and 23 points and not fouling out
Bench a solid night
Team with 14-15 FTs = 93.3%

We outrebounded our opponent again 39-26
Won in assists 16-10
They shot 9-22 FTs so we have avoided the cellar for ft shooting this conference season

Defense was tough. Favored by 8 won by 19 and we all know we can play much better than that.

We will have to play better on Saturday - Davidson is dangerous

Wish we had the Richmond game Back.
Can SLU beat Richmond at Richmond Saturday? Please?
VCU coming back at Dayton with 7 minutes left

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

Rod, not that JD is gassed, just that most freshmen who play as much as he has, have some kind of slump or wall they hit.

Not really a physical thing I guess, but a combination of factors?

Of course most of our guys have had stretches of good play followed by bad, and visa versa.....

ramster, wish we could have Dayton and Fordham back.....we would most likely be in with those 2 as wins.....I know if if if......

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 7 years ago

I wonder if Jarvis is on a pitch count. Still have to build up his minutes. He certainly looks like he's ready for more.
