Home and home with Alabama

Fantastic DH and Avery J matching wits I love the home and home

Nice!

I was at the Auburn game, Dan's first win as URI coach. Will be at this one too!

I'm moving the Holy Cross game to at the DCU Center based on the most current information.

Has anyone made a list of next years schedule? Trying to see how that looks this early.

I was tracking..
Home: Neveda, Bama,
Away: Holy Cross, PC, Brown, Charlestown

Any others besides the secret game that nobody will announce?

Bump for CT Rhody

Thanks! We need to add Charlestown to a road game next year.

Thanks, I added it

Ah, the long awaited home and home with a P5.......and something else?

I'm guessing its WV H+H, but could be preseason tournament announcement? Since it's a scheduled release I'm guessing preseason tournament that will be released by the tournament organizer at 4pm - although bad timing from a publicity standpoint.

WV is the preseason tourney - which I believe will be Mohegan HOF next year. I am hoping this is the "big news" home game that has been alluded to for months.

Is the home and home Perdue?

Again, the timing is weird (Friday before Christmas). The other thought I have is the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii - the 2018 field hasn't been announced yet. The tournament is this weekend and includes Davidson out of the A10. Who knows

We have Bama at home next year

And Bill Koch is implying he knows what the news actually is (trust me Rams fans, you’ll want to pay attention to this”. Tell us now!!!!

The Birdman big news is a new home & home with P5. Not a tournament.

RhowdyRam02 wrote:Is the home and home Perdue?

We're playing a bunch of chickens? Lol

hahaha oops. Hopefully that's not considered bulletin board material if they are the news. Still not as bad as Rhode Island University

We already know about Alabama.....another P5.......

With the “hype” around this announcement it implies that it’s not a middling to lower tier P5 school. Hoping big like unc/duke/Kentucky

Well, 2018 would be the 20th anniversary of us taking down #1 seed Kansas. That would be a good marketing get.

Sorry. The Rod in me came out. You know he would have jumped on that one.

Yes. This should be a big deal. Watch this space.

Do we think this is one announcement like a home and home vs a P5 program which is huge or something more?

You heard it here first!!!

Don't think this is what Bill was talking about.

ATPTourFan wrote:Don't think this is what Bill was talking about.

yeah, think this is about a home-n-home with P5

ATPTourFan wrote:Don't think this is what Bill was talking about.

Good. Hoping it's bigger/better than that....

Solid tournament for team building plus great travel option for fans. Doesn’t appear to be any blue bloods that will rip our young team apart. I like.

Juiston vs Harris

Yeah, thats not even the big news, but not sure if its what Bill meant or not either. But still another solid tournament to be in, plus Christmas in Hawaii sounds pretty good.

West Virginia will be at Mohegan. I do no know if this is hall of fame. Hoping there is something else to announce later today.

I thought West Virginia was a neutral (Mohegan) and away?

So that's today's big news. It's really good news that the program continues to get invited into these top tier exempt tournaments.

Does anyone remember the kinds of tournaments the Rams played prior to Hurley?

Top of the World Classic (NOT to be confused with Great Alaskan Shootout) where we lost to Troy but gained big wins vs the Nanooks of Alaska and the Gentlemen of Centenary.

Islander Invitation in Corpus Christi (Rhody was ranked #25 and that's the tournament we got into that year)

???

Ok...cool enough...hopefully, they can put together some reasonable travel packages...

Seems many know about West Virginia. Now I wonder if it fell through.

Not sure I would call it Top Tier, but a good tournament none the less. No Marquee names, and perhaps no Top 25 potential wins.

It's the Top Tier Christmas tournament. In fact, this year it's the ONLY Christmas tournament. Great exposure. As for top 25 potential wins. TCU is undefeated at #15 in the country now and has 4 players returning that average over 9.1 points per game, UNLV returns pretty much everyone, and St Mary's returns its top 5 scorers.

Again, I'm not sure we would have wanted the Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State's of the world early next year with the young roster we'll have. This, to me, is an IDEAL tournament.

Well it certainly isn't groundbreaking news. Just sayin.

Strong agree here, I think that this is the ideal tournament for next year's team to get into. With the young team, they will get a few games under their belt and an opportunity to experience a hostile environment (@ PC) before this tournament even begins.

Nice news about the tourney in Hawaii

Doubt there would be more news than that in 1 day

Not saying this isn't a good tournament, but by no means is this earth shattering news. It's a non con tournament that is a step below the Seton Hall/Virginia tournament we had this year. And we have a top 25 recruiting class coming in.

I believe it's still possible to also have an early season tournament - can anyone confirm? Or are we limited to 1 tournament? It's possible the WV game is part of a Mohegan Tournament in November.
