agree with rothstein that Hare has a high ceiling. the mystery is how close he will get towards realizing that potential....we have not had a 6'10 guy with length and athleticism like that around here in quite some time, if ever. he needs consistency, confidence, better footwork around the hoop and about 15-20 pounds. i am anxious to see what he looks like at this time next year with an entire off season under his belt. he has the potential to be a program changer at a school like URI, or a giant bust.

@bigapple, the last guy I can think off who was 6'10" with athleticism at URI was Lamar Odom (6'10" 230).

true RK, but certainly very different players. though lamar had those measurements he always has been largely a perimeter player, or someone who needed the ball in his hands to be at his best. jordan is someone who can largely play off the ball and be a monster with blocks, alley oops, put backs and a little jump hook. just different type of players, but yes size wise LO was physically gifted and with a PG skill set to match. what a talent!

No reason for the students to not attend. I just looked up promotions for the game Wednesday and it says the first 1000 students get a free megaphone. They can be loud and proud on Wednesday!

Looks like student tickets go on sale tomorrow, according to Go Rhody.

As always we'll have highlights of the STL game and the other two this week on Saturday night's show (7pm) for those who missed the game, or just want to see the clutch play again!

Sounds like Must-See TV. I dunno if I will be able to catch the show live, as I should still be on the road coming back from NYC and the Fordham game (going out to eat in the City following the game).

I've been away. Glad to see a quality road win. I'm encouraged at how things are going. It's been hit and miss, but I think we're heading in the right direction.
Funny that Tim O"Shea is now Hurley's role model.

How is O'Shea Hurley's role model?
How many years has O'Shea been at Bryant?
If Hurley is here that long and has as poor an overall record as
O'Shea, we may as well go to the Patriot League.

I figured this would get a rise out of Rod, a dyed in the wool O'Shea hater. Actually, the Projo story linked Hurley and O'Shea last week. I think it's hard to compare going from D2 to D-1. Though with Baron it sometimes felt like D2.
