The posters on this board did not vote the Rams into the Top 25, or put them into the rankings in all the Pre Season publications. You had, and I assume still do, have posters here who didn't want the Pre Season publicity. So the publicity is what it is. It's like the Berry doesn't play because Hurley doesn't like Rhode Islanders, it's like Trump tweets and re-tweets. It's noise. But it is fun to have the Team in the Top 25 - but now that is over so the hype from that is done.15 Year Lurker wrote:You guys are really losing it if you actually gave for a second the "hurley doesn't play him because he played hs basketball in RI" line any consideration...and then added 10 posts to it.
Meltdown and misinformation is what message board land is best at.
We've lost two games by like 5 points and then lost to Duke...not sure what everyone expected...maybe I just don't buy into all the hype. I guess people just buy into the hype and think these are Jim Harrick level players..which they aren't.
But yea I want him to play too.
I predicted 3 losses. I should be the most pissed off person on the Board, but far from it. Those how thought we would be far less of a performing team are the most frustrated. I was crushed by the PC loss, but the Cincinnati win was bigger than a win over Valpo or PC would have been. Given my choice Cincinnati was a huge win. If for no other reason but to get a change at Duke. In the long run, a loss to Duke is better for our team than a win over Penn State. If we were 7-1 or 8-0 right now, the press, fans, most KB Board Posters, local TV, Students, and more would be giddy over the Rams. Better to expose the weaknesses early and all the warts now than to expose them in the A10 League play, or worse still the NCAA Tournament and get blown out by 30. It hurts now but it was inevitable
I would even rather hear the Coaching criticism now than to postpone it to March.
People should ask DH these many questions they have instead of drowning the Board in them.
- Why don't you play Berry? Will you ever?
- Do you have any plans to change the inbound the ball strategy now or in the near future? If not, why not?
- Are you actively recruiting any Rhode Island prospects?
- How is the Free Throw shooting psychologist doing? How much did the psychologist impact Hassan Martin's remarkable improvement? How much was it Hassan himself?
- How would you rate your Coaching performance so far this year?
- etc
Have someone from KeaneyBlue read off the questions.
