- I hate St. Joe's. They've always had our number and always seem to shoot 80% against us.

- Are we allowed to complain about that BS "trip" call to give JT his 3rd foul, or will that poster from yesterday who didn't watch the game say we can't say anything because we haven't played a "complete game" in 2 months?

- We gotta stay tough. Every time we cut it close they come right back on a 4-0 or 7-0 run.

- With JT having 3 fouls we're going to need something from EC or Stan. Someone other than Andre (who had a terrific half) needs to step up.

- I'm going to bank on the fact (hopefully) that Joe's won't keep up this shooting pace. HOWEVER, Rhody needs to make shots IE the exact opposite of the previous meeting.

Get tough Rhody and show these guys why your ticket is already punched.

Not even remotely close to what I said but okay.

not like we're playing any defense to stop them...

this is 3 straight halves that we've sucked ass defensively against them, its not just today

Not really. Longpre hit a 3 he had no business making, and the EC foul, although bad, that shot was just pure luck.

They are outstanding is 56 -42 % from the field that is badically the difference

For some reason this team seems to have our number

It would be nice if we can come out quick get the first couple hoops and put the heat on them

If EC doesn't get going in the second half, it's going to be Batman and Badman.

Thanks, you've been a great crowd!

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

frustrating game. every time uri gets it close (2-4), they have an empty possession snd sju gets a big offensive play to get the lead back up again.

URI'21 · Unread post by **URI'21** » 6 years ago

Our offense is doing respectable this game, 11 assists, 40% from the field 42% for 3. Just need to lock up defensively and chip away at the lead. I'm confident we bring this back. Stop fouling too! CANNOT afford to have foul trouble this game

Terrell is having a poor game.

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

This is brutal.

Rhody83 · Unread post by **Rhody83** » 6 years ago

SJU is 190th in offensive efficiency and they scored 47 points. Layups (6), open 3s (6) and offensive rebounds (6). 24 points in the paint.

What in the fucking fuck

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

What the hell kind of defensive plan did they draw up at halftime?

wpbrown8267 · Unread post by **wpbrown8267** » 6 years ago

Not the start we wanted, brutal

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

awful start to the second half. hurley and his players have no answers for this team. seem to be incapable of making adjustments. this game is playing out like two weeks ago. looks like the guys will be coming home today to kingston for the selection show. 8 or 9 seed likely.

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

Just the worst way to start

wpbrown8267 · Unread post by **wpbrown8267** » 6 years ago

Is it st joes just has our number, or are they in the guys heads? A little of both?

This is like PC having Xavier’s number, so frustrating

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

They just showed a stat that said everything:

URI has 13 FGs
St. Joe's has 13 FGs in the paint

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

Can't even score on a 5 on 4

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

We're getting embarrassed by a Giant Ginger from Montreal.

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

How many missed layups?!

wpbrown8267 · Unread post by **wpbrown8267** » 6 years ago

We’re gonna need a giant horseshoe soon, so god damn frustrating

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

Once upon a time I remember we had a really good pressure defense.

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

Once upon a time we were good.

a stop would be wicked cool

We just moved to a 7 seed in bracket matrix, keep this up and kiss that goodbye, hello 8-9 seed

Defense! Please

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

We can't stop a nosebleed right now

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 6 years ago

We need something to happen like the basketball equivalent of a turnover in football. A couple transition baskets or something where we score three unanswered trips. Something to put some pressure on them and speed them up. They're too comfortable and the longer this goes on, the more comfortable they're going to be.

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

Even your CYO coach would tell you, the best way to cut into a deficit is breaking the game into smaller quarters...

After the "first quarter" of the 2nd half we're net zero. And quite honestly, with all of those defensive lapses it could be way worse. Need to get within 4 or 5 by the 12:00 timeout and we're good.

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

Yes, we need to force some turnovers and convert them into some easy layups.

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

they looking like they are playing hard but are just confused as to how they should play. allowing penetration to basket is inexcusable

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

Big time play for Jeff

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

Some crappy passing for a senior led team

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

Anyone listening to the radio? Don pounded the table on that EC turnover haha

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

Put that hand down Newkirk, asshole.

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

We need more than 1 stop in a row.

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

We cut it to 4, play great D followed by a ridiculous and 1.

Gotta dig in and stay tough.

Also, am I allowed to say that EC is way too careless with the basketball?

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

Making Kobe Bryant fuckin and 1s

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

We can't get closer than 3 or 4

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

Good out of bounds play

911? we desperately need a stop...

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

Absolutely absurd

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

That was a 5-point swing. Brutal.

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

This is like back to the good 'ol days where every loose ball wild 3 pointer that the opponent throws up goes in every time.

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 6 years ago

As of right now, we are not a good team, and will be lucky to not get blown out in the first round.

EC is just not that good at basketball at this point.

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

Missing two threes and then giving up an offensive rebound and a three was such bullshit.

I hate them.
