I do not mind the play in game for the Bonnies, gives the conference an easy chance to make some extra money.

I feel fortunate to have drawn Oklahoma. As for Duke, beating them would be huge for the program.

That’s ideal. 9:15 AM PST.

I take my oldest to school and 8. Wife can go take the young one to the park while I drink my 24 oz coffee and scream at the TV.

I definitely like not having to wait all day and stress about it. Just don't lose and ruin the rest of the day!

I agree. It was like watching a Japanese Godzilla movie.

Really need the time for the Saturday game. Seems likely it will be early afternoon?

That’s suboptimal for me.

Ugh I have the day off Thursday but it's because of a 9 AM court date at the traffic tribunal. Was hoping for any start time besides 1215. Hopefully the judge is a Rhody fan and hurries the process along.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 6 years ago

As great as Trae Young is, he turned the ball over 161 times this year. Our guards can force him into a lot of mistakes.

I'm not sure they announce that until matchups are known.

It’s probably already sold out but yea if you wait last minute tickets get pretty cheap on stubhub.
Good point, I probably shouldn't say won't sell out, but tickets should be available somewhere.

Are the tickets that are thru Rhody for just the Rhody session, or for the day?

Great to see DH reaction to ASU getting a bad

Ok back to the selections as objective college hoop fan does anybody else have a problem with ASU getting in over USC ??

USC got the 2 seed in PAC 12 at 12-6 and ASU was seeded 9 at 8-10

Then ASU loses to 8 seed Colorado and USC wins 2 games and makes their title game !!!

Anyone else confused by this ???

Not 100% sure on this, but I think there are 2 sessions per day and it gets you in for 2 games (1 session).

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

I think the rationale is that USC didn’t beat anybody all year and ASU had some very quality wins.

It seems that some of the schools under investigation were left out.

Feeling great. Last time we went to Pittsburgh and watched them, they won 3 straight. This time, they only need two

Yeah, no. The season ended losing the A10 Championship. Maybe you think we should win it every year?

As I said before I want Duke. Owe them for a couple.

Good and fair seed, primo opening round time slot.

Nothing for us to complain about, let's ball!

Go Rhody!

Jump start them to what? They just made it to the A10 finals and lost. So now we need to get jump started because we didn't win the tournament? We are fine.

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

- Ranked for 7 weeks
- Several prime time ESPN games
- A coach being mentioned at the top of the list for every major coaching vacancy
- Showed in conference tournament that we're for real
- A video of our coach getting emotional/relieved that he didn't cost his brother a bid that is certain to go viral
- And finally, the first game of the tournament against a polarizing opponent with all eyes on our game for at least a half...

It is a GREAT time to be a Rhody fan. If random people are stopping me in San Diego County and asking me about our program, saying they saw us, etc...that's a big deal.

This is what we all wanted. To be a part of the conversation and to plant our "RI" flag on the college hoops landscape. It's here! Let's enjoy it.

I'm going to guess/hope that it is the Marriott Downtown, right across the street from the PPG Paints Arena. That is where I booked, anyways. If anyone hears a different plan, I might consider switching to the team hotel to be with my people (coming into town solo as of now), but I also want the points haha.

Kevin Harlan and Reggie miller have the call. First 30 Mins of the tournament to ourselves. Pretty cool. Let’s go out and win it!

Justns11 · Unread post by **Justns11** » 6 years ago

I just booked my flights and hotel in Pittsburgh. Do you guys think I should I buy my tickets on stubhub right now for ~$60 each, or should I try and wait and get them just before the game? I'm not a season ticket holder (might as well be) so I don't think I'll have the opportunity to get any of the URI reserved tickets.

they beat teams 134 and 146 in the RPI.

Davidson winning did not do anything in relation to St. Bonaventure, they were in the play in no matter what

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 6 years ago

Pretty simple. If we play well we will win Thursday. If we don't we won't.

We do need to play better than we have lately. That's all.

Terrell was gassed from playing his ass off Friday and Saturday.....he should be a lot better against Oklahoma, and so will we.

Tournament starts Wednesday. Just kidding, we get the first start of real tournament. Kind of sucks for me because I will probably not be able to get off work completely. Anyone watching in Boston?

I could maybe do a liquid lunch at Harry's on Thursday. I will be in Pittsburgh for the weekend assuming all goes well, but I'm in the same boat with work on Thursday, plus the infant+toddler situation kills any shot of an extended trip to the Ketchup Capital.

Here you go:

Sporting News with video of both Hurley brothers finding out ASU made it.

I'm glad ASU got in. Especially after seeing Dan's reaction. I know the committee said Davidson knocked ND out, but if ASU was left out too, I could see Dan wondering if things might have been different with a URI win. His reaction made it look as though the weight of the world was taken off his shoulders. That would have been quite a burden to have to bear.
