Don't worry, that CBS Sports video from the tweet says it has 25.8k views. Pretty sure I am 24.8k of them.

Easy to overlook, but the key to that whole thing was Jared's lead pass to Dowtin down the right sideline. The steal bounced into Akele's hands, he hot potato'd it to Jared and he hit Jeff in stride with no hesitation at all. That pass beat Richmond down the floor and it was on.

I couldn't agree more. The whole sequence was a thing of beauty!

Clearly, Cyril has returned to form and is our best big-man. However, Andre has more to offer as a starter than when he comes off the bench. Is Andre gaining weight? He appears slower.

My eyes tell me that Jared defers to EC and takes charge in his absence. The team seems to recognize that Jared is the alpha when EC is not there.

EC must shoot effectively from the outside in order for his penetrating game to be effective, UR let EC shoot from the outside just as Davidson did.

I think Stan can play better on both ends of the court. I'm not saying that he is playing badly, just that he is cable of playing better.

My guess is that EC will not play Friday.
I thin you said somethings many of us have felt all season fi not longer but are generally unwilling to say publicly.

E.C never became the star we wanted after his sfirst year at URI and he was getting national accolades as the a possible first round NBA pick.

He has some issues where his shooting can be absolutely awful for long periods, and others where he is just totally anonymous. 5 years into his college career he still hits the front end/airball on many contested shots and even many untested..

He's not an elite defender like our other starting other starting guards. At best he is the 3rd best shooting guard on the team. A loss of Terrel or Robinson would hurt the team far, far more, and have a much greater chance of prematurely ending a chance at a great NCCA tournament win, or final four tourney run.

Lastly i'm not trying t shit on E.C. He came and believed in Hurley/URI basically based on faith and a bond with Hurley... he has also won us many a game over the years also. Those are not accomplishments to piss on and were critical in building the program.

But we need to consider the man All, in All, and take him as he was. The truth was he has never been the elite a_10 player we hoped he would be,. Much less an NBA draft prospect. Still, the team is generally better off with him and i hope he returns fast.
Unfortunately the story of EC's URI career has a giant asterisk...the knee

Was a break out star as a freshman and followed it up with an even better sophomore year:

16.9/4.6/2.0 on solid shooting. And helped carry that 2014-15 team to a 2nd place regular season and 1 win from making the tournament.

Blowing his knee out in game 1 killed his development. Instead of getting to build off of a great 1st 2 years, he had to go back to square one.

It's commonly accepted that most athletes are not back to pre injury levels until a year after coming back. Last year you could tell he was relearning the game and working on getting back to his old level. If he wasnt injured he would've instead been working on taking his game to the next level.

Much like Dawan Robinson, a blown out knee turned "what was" into "what couldve been".
This is true, but his tendency to hang out around the perimeter and 3 point line doing nothing productive without the ball? Or his tother tenddency to often undershoot the basket repeatedly? (how many airbals or off-the-front-rim misses does he have this year? I would not be surprised if it's a record for a D1 player.) His tenedency to make some realy awful plays witt he ball in his hands at the end of games they that are high pressure and close?

The injury surely is a major factor and probably by far the biggest factor. But i have to beleive it's nto the only reason he has essentially stuted hsi development since the end of his Frosh year.

I think his tendency to hang out around the 3 point line is by design. Notice the other guards are all at various points outside the line.

When you say giant asterisk, do you take into account he is most likely going to be #2 all time in scoring here?

A deep run and he will be in the rarefied air of only a few players who will have meant as much to the Keaney Blue.

the asterisk is for what could've been, not as an excuse for what he didnt do.

If anything, the heights he has reached even with the injuries makes the 'what ifs' even bigger in the sense of could we be talking about things now like a Wooden Award or lottery pick.

example: If he doesn't break his wrist, he almost certainly passes Silk for #1 all time scorer...or if not for the knee injury, we are talking about a 3rd straight Tourney and potentially a 3rd straight A10 title this year.

As great as he is, without the knee injury he could've been even greater.

he doesn't do it any more than the other guards, and by design. this isnt a cutting offense. It is a guards get the ball up top and slash.
