We have to attack Tillman offensively.... no brainer.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 6 years ago

Somehow someway we need to get it done

Haha Cyril running the break just about gave me a heart attack!

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 6 years ago

these missed free throws will decide this game. Horrible from the line today.

urirx · Unread post by **urirx** » 6 years ago

I hate free throws with a passion. a deep seated passion

we all know FTs are mental and it's in their heads now.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 6 years ago

Please someone explain to me how that is a foul on Akele?

Hack a Tillman

giovanni · Unread post by **giovanni** » 6 years ago

I'm not one to complain a lot about refs. But is Tillman getting incredible star treatment and Jared gets none?

rhodysurf · Unread post by **rhodysurf** » 6 years ago

gotta attack tillman and get him out of there

I disagree

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 6 years ago

when did the refs decide tilman was lebron?

mstyles22 · Unread post by **mstyles22** » 6 years ago

Who gets more bail outs from refs? MJ, Kobe, Bron or Tillman?

scine20 · Unread post by **scine20** » 6 years ago

Rhode Island has not played a complete game since February 2nd at VCU. The spread today was a joke. Anyone who's been watching this team knows they're not blowing out any even halfway decent opponent.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 6 years ago

Another garbage call. I had no idea Tillman ran this league.

RhodyRam86 · Unread post by **RhodyRam86** » 6 years ago

I NEVER complain about refs and often snicker at those that do, but at this point VCU should give it to Tillman every time. It's an automatic foul on RI.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 years ago

Is this no contact basketball?

Native · Unread post by **Native** » 6 years ago

media timeout with 10:23 remaining

URI 55, VCU 53

Berry has four fouls and Langevine has three fouls.

Rhody continues to struggle at the charity stripe (3 out of 10)

On the VCU side, Tillman already has 21 points and 13 rebounds AND HAS JUST COMMITTED HIS FOURTH FOUL.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 6 years ago

the fouls against tillman are out of control. thank god he is on the bench.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 years ago

We probably have about 5 min without him.

Da_Process_Survivor · Unread post by **Da_Process_Survivor** » 6 years ago

Jordan...I mean Tillman is on the bench. Take advantage and get some damn breathing room

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 6 years ago

Have to go on a run here.

mstyles22 · Unread post by **mstyles22** » 6 years ago

I have neutral buddies texting me that the fouls on Tillman are out of control. It’s not just us.

Also, I love our intensity.

scine20 · Unread post by **scine20** » 6 years ago

Nobody complains about officiating more than URI fans. Every single game.

hrstrat57 · Unread post by **hrstrat57** » 6 years ago

Yes, we have to win the game right here.

We can’t defend Tillman.

Had me thinking what a disappointing recruit Preston has been. This is where we needed a player with that scholly..

Big fail by our staff not getting a serviceable inside player.

If you're not complaining about the star treatment for Tillman then you're not paying attention.

RhodyRam86 · Unread post by **RhodyRam86** » 6 years ago

getting out of control since Tilman went out. had a chance to extend the lead, but we got sloppy and they killed nearly 3 minutes

If they could stop sucking we could stop complaining.

mstyles22 · Unread post by **mstyles22** » 6 years ago

With Tillman out of the game...

- Fatts gets snatched and VCU ties it on a breakaway layup

- JT answers with a 3

- Stan misses a bunny off a beautiful Fatts feed

- JD turns it over

- Fatts misses a layup in transition

We’re getting the stops but not finishing. Finish! How does EC not touch the ball in that sequence?

ElmCityRhody · Unread post by **ElmCityRhody** » 6 years ago

3 empty possessions

ugh

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 6 years ago

not taking advantage of tilman on the bench. not good.

welp...dont be shocked when we have a 10 next to our name Sunday night...you know how the committee works with mid major seeding

Have you ever been to a college basketball game anywhere else? Especially with a heated atmosphere? Try going to Syracuse

Not being sarcastic, but when is the last time EC hit a 3 pointer?

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 6 years ago

Here comes Tillman get ready for the foul on every play.

mstyles22 · Unread post by **mstyles22** » 6 years ago

Get to the rim. It’s almost like we’re trying to avoid having to go to the line.

(EC goes to rim and misses)

It’s ok! Keep pushing!

(Jeff buries a step back 3)

Let’s go! I love this team!

scine20 · Unread post by **scine20** » 6 years ago

This team is at its best when they let Dowtin, their best player, take over.

Native · Unread post by **Native** » 6 years ago

media timeout with 3:36 remaining

URI 63, VCU 59

Dowtin has 18 points, currently team-high.

Langevine has picked up his fourth foul.

Berry and Tillman are now on the floor, each with four fouls

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 6 years ago

Dowtin=MVP

Uhhh the first half

I don't know if it elsewhere in this thread.. but URI is well represented in DC. strong visual blue field and can hear them

Go Rhody! Go Jeff!

Took words out of my mouth. Great point.

3:30 to go. Up four. This is where we've stopped playing offense in previous games.
