For those not attending in person:
The game at PC is televised on FS2. This is their lower level version of FS1. Many cable providers do not carry this station on their generally available subscriber line-ups.

Will it be on cox / myritv?

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 9 years ago

No it's on Fox Sports 2. Not available in HD on Cox. Does FiOS have it in HD yet?

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 9 years ago

It is on UVerse HD if anybody has that.

Belated thanks to TP and ATP. I just read this thread for the first time
since Saturday.

I guess PC doesn't have enough pull with Fox to get this game on a channel available to most people around the country.

So 111 is the place to be eh? I see some tickets available in the middle of that section. Trying to figure out who else I will be going with before buying. I dont know if the wife will be able to make it as she usually works pretty late--she's a corporate lawyer who is doing quite well at her big Boston firm. We met at UR, she is URI class of '08, BU Law class of '11 magna cum laude. Which gets me to the point, I can't stand when PC fans try to attack URI as an academic institution.

I came to URI from out of state for specific programs that it excels at. I am now doing quite well with both a BS and MS from URI. URI has some programs that are world-class. Providence does not. What PC does have is a bunch of rich Catholic kids who's parents could afford to send them to private college but couldnt get into a top school.

I gotta say I am a Yankees and Jets fan living in Boston (I grew up in NY) and my hatred for PC greatly exceeds my dislike of the Red Sox and Pats. I think it's because they try to make it personal and to me it symbolizes more than just a sports rivalry but public education vs privileged youth.

Eff PC!
Go RAMS

This guy gets it! I'm also a URI/BU Law person, and quite happy with my education. The idea that they chant "safety school" at us is much more embarrassing for them than it is for us. URI is a better school than PC - better programs for less money. Most URI students never entertained the idea of going to PC. I wouldn't have gone to PC for free because its size and religious affiliation are non-starters for me, but if their students want that experience good for them. But don't pretend like you chose to get it at PC instead of BC, Holy Cross or Notre Dame. You go to a safety school, dopes!

Anyways, I'm in 126 and should have a good contingent with me there.

Providence's games against Albany and Yale were on FS1, it's bull that this rivalry gets second tier to whatever's on fs1.
Just looked it up and it's Kansas @ Georgetown. So that's understandable, but it's still annoying.

The size and religious affiliation of PC limits the amount of student resources available.

Calling URI a safety school is a joke in itself with the world class programs offered by the university, and look at how campus is now compared to ten years ago. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard URI called "safety school" by people whose kids go to some no-name (D3, if they even offer sports) liberal arts school in NH or MA.

You can also add in Villanova and Georgetown to that list of schools, lol.

seanmc94 · Unread post by **seanmc94** » 9 years ago

The idea that uri is a superior academic to Gtown is laughable.

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 9 years ago

I think she was saying people that go to PC would have gone to Georgetown if they had the chance. It really is hard to compare state schools to catholic schools because they're different in every imaginable way. I have no problem admitting that some PC students probably were accepted at URI and chose PC. I can also admit that if I had had the opportunity to go to UVA or Michigan I probably would have, but I wouldn't have considered going to PC unless I couldn't find a big school in the country that would have me. That is all a matter of preference, but there are many reasons students would choose URI over PC. So for PC students to mock URI and the people that chose to go there makes them look ignorant - both because PC is not at the top of the food chain for like schools and is likely a "safety school" for 90%-plus of its own student body and because URI students have numerous academic options open to them that PC students do not and are paying a fraction of the cost for it.

Exactly what I was trying to say. There are some (some, being they keyword here)PC students , alums, and fans that just don't get it when it comes to "state school". They think PC is Stanford quality. I went to a Catholic high school so the last thing I wanted in college was to be told what to do by clergy. Lol

As I have said on this board many times in the past and was reinforced in a recent visit to Providence two weeks ago to attend a special cultural reception, PC is considered the school in RI that contributes the least to the community. I have been told this on many occasions both directly and indirectly by community leaders in business, the arts, government, civic and social service organizations.

Based on your postings here; im not suprised that the circles you travel in are anti PC. As usual; you throw out innuendo and nebulous opinions as if they were facts.

Both schools have their strengths, but are apples and oranges.

skwalk47 · Unread post by **skwalk47** » 9 years ago

OK back to basketball... let's play guessing the lines. I say PC -5.5

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

PC by 10, at least, unless we can disrupt Dunn like KY did.
Assuming sprained ankles don't heal very quickly.
You could put Revis err, I mean Terrell on him and use TJ to cover Henton.
Don't know we have a defender to match Henton in size.
KY size killed him, but we don't have size. Martin could do it, but
he'd have two fouls in the first minutes.

Yes, relative from a different family, but will they let

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 9 years ago

I like Rhody if we can hit a couple shots early and get into some rhythm. I think the atmosphere will benefit our guys and they'll respond positively to the energy. Maybe Henton is better than I give him credit for, but he doesn't worry me as a lead guy. Let him get his and don't let anyone else have a career night and we should win the game.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Guess you didn't see Henton drop 38 on ND?
Sure, Kentucky stopped him, but we're not Kentucky.
I like Tyler Harris. He's quick and has great range for a 6'9" guy.
This game usually has someone unexpected have a career game,
on one side or the another.
PC is bigger than any team we've faced, including Kansas.
Many things have to go our way to have a win.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

I say Terrell has the unexpected career game, unexpected because it would not be expected at this young stage of his college career.

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 9 years ago

Yeah don't let him get 38 or we will obviously be in trouble. If he gets 25 and we keep Harris in relative check, I don't know that they have enough other weapons to get to 70 points against us. Notre Dame was also handled by UMass and I know some ND fans who are very, very down on their basketball program (and their football program but that's another story). Providence has only played one team of any quality on the defensive end - granted that team is much better than us - and they couldn't score at all. We will be the second best defensive team they've played this year. If we can either get a decent perimeter shooting night or if we can get out in transition then I like our chances very much.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I'm waiting for Terrell to have a breakout game, anyway.
If he can finish better at the rim, he could easily have one.
He makes spectacular moves to get there, and misses the chippy.
I honestly think he's more talented than EC, on both sides of the ball.

Big IF, TP. We just can't shoot it very well, and I haven't seen much
transition basketball so far.
Man, ND just disintegrated after the FSU loss. USC with 35 points in the
first half? Ugh! Golsten has been terrible.

Rhody Guy · Unread post by **Rhody Guy** » 9 years ago

Blue Man, my options were either give it to you so you can wreak havoc at every game or donate it to Athletics so they could put it on display somewhere (if they even do that sort of thing). I figured the program would benefit more from your harassment of the other team more. The legit URI hardwood pong table I made will have to make it onto my wall at some point though. Can't get rid of that thing.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I used to like the built in cases in the Keaney lobby.
My guess is, that's all still there.
It should be moved to The Ryan Center.
Some interesting items in those cases.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 9 years ago

Contain Dunn and you contain PC. Let him dictate tempo and get in the lane all night and we are in trouble. I actually prefer putting a smaller peskier defender on Dunn, i.e. Jarvis Garrett. He is too quick for Terrell or TJ. He has a loose dribble and not the most disciplined on offensive end, a smaller guy that can stick in his shorts can be a menace for him. You almost want to speed him up and have guys in the lane ready to take charges. He has not shown to be a great finisher yet, and his perimeter shot is inconsistent at best. All that said, he can also dominate a game and if he does we are doomed.

seanmc94 · Unread post by **seanmc94** » 9 years ago

I think that assesment is spot on.
I think URIs best option is to speed the game up; however that plays to Dunns strength as well. I dont think URI can win a rock fight bc of PCs size advantage. Glad i dont have to make those decisions

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Rod, I've thought the same thing.

Terrell will have a breakout game soon, when his shots start falling.

He already is a better defender than EC.

Offensively, it might only be a matter of time. His handle is good, and will only get better.

Remember, it took EC until midseason until he started making an impact. Of course, he didn't play a lot at the beginning of the season.

Terrell will get there sooner, and he's getting the minutes.
