Just got home, but need a reality check...I thought we saw Fatts Russell block a 3 point attempt...did we really see that, or was it the result of an effective pub strategy?

Well, it's been in most of our wildest dreams for a long, long time.

This is our best opportunity since Frank Keaney.

Were the last two games just a correction during a bull season or are we returning to the all too familiar swoon of the Baron era? I'm predicting the former because our coach is a motivator and not someone who blames players publicly. Let's get back to playing as a team and doing our job.
the Baron Swoon? ummmmmmmm NO!

Wow what a second half. Until tonight I have never seen my team cut down the net in the state of Rhode Island with confetti coming down from the rafters. It was worth the wait. See you Tuesday.

Ya. Not sure how we won pizza NYGFan. We never won anything in our row until tonight. First time for everything I guess. Just like winning the regular season conference tonight. What a fun night to be at the RC

If we play the way we did for the first 7 or so minutes of the 2nd half, especially on defense, I think we can beat anyone in the country. I think we outscored them 21-4, or something like that. That stretch was just beautiful to watch.....as was the whole game....and the whole season.

Two games tonight. The first 15 minutes and the last 25 minutes. In the first game Batman and Batman were Badman and NOWhereman. If first impressions matter before a national TV audience, then we laid an egg and had watchers turning to other channels. In the final 25 minutes game we were excellent on defense which ignited the offense. Jeff Dowtin took control of game 2.

Sorry seniors, but Jeff Dowtin is my team MVP this season and my choice as captain next year as a junior. The former will never happen even though he should be a first team all conference selection (my opinion) which will probably not happen either because the voters favor seniors. URI is awful when Jeff is not on the court. He makes everyone on the team better.
