Amazing afternoon in Sacramento. The fans were fantastic- loud and encouraging. You truly had to be there to experience it. Every time the blue jays made a run, we always had an answer. This team has the confidence to go further and I am so lucky to be a part of it. THE highlight was shaking red''s hand after the game. He was in a absolute shock- the face in a negative way I expect from duck fans on Sunday. Go rhody!

Woke up groggy after a bit too much celebrating, watched the highlights to make sure I wasn't just dreaming, and re-upped our season tickets. Life is great.

Yesterday was truly a special day. One I surely won't soon forget. I'm out here in Sacramento with my son and I'm so happy we've been able to enjoy this together.. and hopefully this is just the beginning of a deep run!

I was able to talk to bar, rudder, the "Godfather", and many others during the pregame reception and you could just feel the buzz and the excitement that we were going to do something special. The Rhode Island crowd at the Golden 1 Center was absolutely electric. Hurley said it best after the game, it was like we had 18 years of pent up energy. We had Odom in the stands, Dan's brother Bobby, Will Martell, Marquis Jones, Jim Harrick, all there to cheer on their Rams.

It's been a long, hard 18 years since I rushed the court at the Spectrum after Odom's buzzer beater... but yesterday made the suffering all worth it.

Woke up this morning, and like many others, can't believe this is real.

I have to thank my 10 year old daughter who pushed for us to come out to Sacramento. Finally, Wednesday night I caved in. Such a great game and great experience! Was awesome getting congrats from Oregon fans, Creighton fans and others as we walked out. Was told a few times how good our team was and that we could go far. My answer: "Thank you. We're planning on it!"

Just watched to re play of game. Very enjoyable all around. Though they played well, they can play a lot better IMO, which they will need to do vs Oregon. This is more like the team that I expected in November and got so frustrated with in January. If you would have told me we were playing Oregon in January after LaSalle game, I would have shuttered. Not now, bring em on, I'm confident.

Thing about Oregon is URI beat Cincinnati with Cinci having two of their scorers go for 20+.

That day and the VCU final I think EC/JAred both combined for 40+.

URI has shown it can rise to the occasion with both VCU games, the Cinci game, and the fact that with their back against the wall they haven't lost.

Grinned like an idiot all through the post-game activities at the team hotel and still grinning like an idiot today.

The only bad part about yesterday was Dayton -- as great as it is to still be alive our league needs more than one team to advance every year if we're going to get the respect we want.

On the other hand, WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!

My two lists (opponent victories & coaches) related to NCAA wins only.

Ernie Calverley led URI to two NCAA bids (1961/1966) and Jack Kraft brought them to another in 1978. Both unfortunately did not have any wins. 1997 (Skinner) and 1999 (Harrick) were also two other seasons that had NCAA appearances but no wins.

Another interesting historical fact, since the Big East was formed, URI has had more postseason success against teams playing under its banner (old and new) than any other conference.

URI Postseason record vs Big East Members: 4-1
1988 NCAA Syracuse 97-94
1992 NIT Boston College 81-80
2003 NIT Seton Hall 61-30
2004 NIT West Virginia 72-79
2017 NCAA Creighton 84-72

Rhody has yet to beat a PAC-12/10 Team losing its only two appearances vs Stanford in the 1998 NCAA and 2015 NIT.
