If you're running Chrome, it should be easily fixable:

The problem is now there is some connection error preventing the stream from working! Flash or no. Other games work for me.

there is a circled i next to the address in the address bar

click the i

click on 'flash'

choose 'always allow on this site'

reload the page

enjoy Rhody hoops

Yeah we are missing just about everything, and only down 1 at the half. Get the offense going a bit in the second half and we should be fine. Hoping those two free throws late get Jared going.

Ugly first half. Need to do much better for the final 20. If Iona hit their free throws, they'd be up 10.

Yea have to get the offense going again, hasn’t looked that great since the PC game. Also need to get better defending inside, the fact that a team who relies heavily on 3s is winning despite only making two 3s made isn’t great.

Survive 80-74 and advance for the second game in a row. Not exactly a stellar effort tonight. Have not played a good game since PC nearly three weeks ago.

Similar to the Charleston game where the defensive intensity turned things around in the 2nd half.

With the qualifier that I was traveling in New York and didn't actually get to (have to?) watch this, I'm not all that bothered by what seems like a subpar performance. They're going to happen. I'll take it as a good sign that we can throw up a subpar performance and still beat a pretty good team - likely a tournament team.

Want to start seeing a little bit more finely tuned performance as we ramp up for the stretch run over the next month. This team is obviously about as talented as we expected and getting healthier. Good teams should improve thru January and February and peek in March. If that happens we will be OK.

Still just floored by the news about Rod. Kind of takes the edge off reacting to a basketball game, good or bad. I only met Rod in person a handful of times and we certainly had our battles here (among many agreements), but even if you never knew the man on a personal level everyone around this program knew "Rod from Cranston" and what he meant to this fan base. Glad we found a way to fight back and give him a win in his first game watching from the other side.

Hurley was hoping to get him up to 20 and he played 16. I think especially early he didn't do much to make Hurley play him more than he did

Rod's passing sure dampened my enjoyment of the game. We got off to a strong start, but Iona soon adjusted and played us tough until the end. We didn't shoot well and their defense was a factor. EC never found his game. He only had one good drive to the hoop and never really found the range outside. Cyril was terrible. Andre was a bit better but was a liability against their athletic forward. Akele, believe it or not, wss our best interior defender. Stan had another double double. Jared turned it on in the second half and Dowtin again played tough d.

Overall, Iona was tougher than I expected and will be tough in the MAAC.

I was disappointed when EC tried to drive and was denied and he threw the ball away basically. It was a pass with no purpose.

Had to play 5 guards to match up with Iona who appeared to be playing 5 guards also.... They were extremely quick thus the lineup to matchup.. Finally went to the hoop more in 2nd half especially dowtin and Terrell.. Outscored them by 12 on second chance points.. Outside shooting an issue but adjusted and beat another good team.. We'll take it

EC and Cyril were ineffective tonight. the game is going to look fine in the box score, a little closer then expected but not bad. but the game was ugly to watch. Our defense got us back in this game, as well as second chance points

Berry is not fast enough to play D in some games and it showed tonite. I kept wondering why he was stuck out on the perimeter so much while his man was getting the ball underneath, until a more knowledgeable fan in our section explained that, the way the D is supposed to work is that he was supposed to "flash" out on the perimeter, and then get back underneath... but you have to be quick to flash. Akele could do that and that's why he looked better.

On the other hand, Iona had no answer when Berry got the ball inside. At points of the game, would have been good to be able to switch Andre/offense and /Akele defense....

As much as I like Cyril when he gets the ball down low it never is thrown back out despite him being doubled teamed a lot of the time. He has got to start trying to find the open man and not shoot it every time or turn it over.

Cyril had a bad night - bad hands and always has to put the ball on the floor where he often loses it. No consistent lay-up shot. Hopefully he matches-up better with FGCU and has a better games. Ditto for Berry.

Preston was supposedly ready but dnp...
Would've been nice to get him a few minutes.
Jared was the man in the 2nd half, wow!!!

One more ooc, and then we're off and running...

will miss rod!!! very sad...
everyone knows about his passion for the rams,
but I will never forget him writing 'tRUMP' when talking about potus...

I think the substitutions might be a bit disruptive. I know we have tons of depth, by rotating players in and out don't let them get into a shooting rhythm. Need to leave players in to get into the game.

I watched most of the game on the stream

Good effort in the 2h to come away with the win

Nice scoring output from Jared

Jeff hit a couple nice shots

On to FGCU and get to 8-3 ooc

Have to improve the outside shooting immediately or the conference games are going to be even uglier than this one.
Can't anyone shoot the ball anymore ? I expected them to be on fire after having played a home game and having practiced
all week at home. wide open jumper after wide open jumper were missed, and even point blank they missed on three put
backs on one possession. Is this team really that poor of a shooting team ? so far it sure looks that way with the exception
of the Seton hall game where Terrell was on fire. If the poor shooting continues there will be a lot more Ls on the record
than we were expecting.

They are streaky shooters. Terrell has grown into the most consistent shooter but even he is streaky.

Have to agree with Luke here......streaky but lately on the wrong side of that.....

Would we have won either of the last 2 games if they were on the road? Think about it.

Iona shot 50% for the game, and they only made 7 3's.....not good.

Totally agree. FG shooting needs to be near 45% at a minimum.
