Can't wait until my guy Jermaine hits a step back game winning 3...

^the good kind of janitor work - TP

[Da_Process_Survivor]

Just win baby!

[steviep123]

Can't wait until my guy Jermaine hits a step back game winning 3...

I know this is in jest, but he displayed a nice jump hook in the Davidson game. I haven't seen it since. If he can develop this, it will be a huge boost to his game.

I go to Miami (OH) which is 1 hr from Dayton. I saw tix for this game back in January and they were $18 for nosebleeds but my syllabi had not been posted yet so I held off so I could see if I had anything important due the next day. Dayton was #13 at this point. My syllabi were posted right after Dayton became #7. I checked tix....$110 for the same nosebleeds. See where being responsible got me?? It got me stuck in my apartment tonight dealing with buffering every few minutes trying to watch the biggest URI regular season game I can remember. There's a valuable lesson in that. Screw being responsible!!! Anyway, let's fucking win.

THEY ARE DOWN TO $35, ALMOST TO MY TARGET. THAT DAMNED COLLEGE KID BUDGET. I AM PLAYIN THE GAME BABY, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. Would really appreciate everyone's support during this mentally trying time.

What's your target? I'm about an hour out of Dayton for work and thinking about making the trek up to the game. Would be cool to sit with a fellow Rhody fan.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

I just want to see us keep it close, hope we get a fair whistle and see if our defense and physical play wears them down. If we're within five in the last three minutes, I'll really like our chances.

Oh, and we'd better not go cold from 3.

My Friends Dad is in Dayton and said this is a very big game in town with lots of hype. Tons of media coverage and a big buzz similar to what we have here. We just have to stay focused and keep fighting. Win this one somehow and you start making your NCAA tourney travel plans. Go Rhody!

[giovanni]

Dayton is a very talented and elite team clearly. But even though a couple months ago, Rams played Maryland, LSU and West Virginia. All extremely talented and excellent teams. Rams hung with MD and LSU for the most part, ran out of gas and not deep enough to go down to wire with physicality and athleticism of LSU and Maryland. We were right in game with West Va and could have won with a couple breaks. Also, Rhody is a much better team right now than they were then. Regardless or what happens, this team will not be intimidated.

[HASwatTeam]

Today's hype feels a lot like March 12th, 2017. Eyes will be on this game tonight, and a win would create so much HYPE for this PROGRAM.

[bigappleram]

Watched the first half of last year's game, had forgotten they also had Cunningham to pair with Toppin. Few things stuck out.

*Harris and Tate both gave us very good minutes on both sides of the court, sorry Rhody 15.

*We limited everyone else around Obi, Crutcher was a non factor in 1H. Same for Landers. Need that tonight as well.

*We didn't play particularly great, had some sloppy TOs and missed assignments on D, but we shot it well and went in up 7 at halftime.

*Fatts played with supreme confidence in front of 13K fans. That dude loves the bright lights.

*Cyril was a beast, will need that again.

[reef]

We really need to stay out of foul trouble early . We only play 8 so if someone picks up a quick 2 fouls that will hamstring us ??

I am feeling Jermaine will play big, actually the rest of the year which will obviously make us that much more dangerous. Wish Dana was still here, but he's not, but I am sure he is cheering for his ex teammates.

I can’t remember a regular season game thread go 5 pages before the game even started. I literally don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself for the next 3 hours.

[sevegny7]

Yeah this calm before the storm is tough haha. So close you can taste it but far enough away that your just antsy and dont know how to use all the excitement.

Time for a few adult beverages to calm the nerves and pass the time.

[RhodysRelevant]

I’m so nervous I’ll be getting into my truck at 840 going to be freaking out to tune in on the radio and see where we are it

[Running Ram]

I just can't focus on work at all today, I keep coming back to the forum...1 hour and 38 minutes til game time!!!

2 hours to go! Can't wait!

[RF1]

The VCU @ URI game thread just eleven days ago was also already at five pages prior to the tip.

Ha - admittedly I did not do much research on pre-game threads, but we still have two hours to go before tip off!

If the recent beloved poster hadn't been sent to timeout we might already be to 10 pregame pages

Where have you been, my friend? Hope all is well and you’re enjoying this season from your guy.

[bigappleram]

Ace is back. I’m eating a cheesesteak for Fatts. LFG!!!

[Iggy1979]

Interviewed him for our podcast last year. Follow @davidpjablonski on Twitter for a great Dayton perspective

Don’t think for a second Dan hasn’t been following our Rams. Myself (and others) have been in contact with him and he’s cheering on the boys from afar.

I’ve been a stressed out mess all day. LETS GET THIS ONE!!!

RHODY RHODY RHODY!!!!

[section(105)]

......Rams Rams Rams.....

[Rhody83]

To win this game would obviously be huge. Rhody would be in the Tournament and Top 25. I am not stressed out because this is a bonus situation. This is the first game in the last 11 that truly is not a must win game. I hope the players take a stress free approach and play a great game - and get the win.

Edit: I just want a close game so there is no damage to Rhody’s Net. Of course I would love Rhody on the winning end.

I don’t doubt it at all, but cool to see the public support.

Agreed! Was going to say haven’t seen your insight in ages, ace!

[Taylor Swift]

Less than an hour!!! Time to make some snacks to watch the game.

[RamFan89]

Haven't heard from OhioRam32, but I'm ready to brave the arena alone unless anyone else wants to link up in the next 15 minutes or so.

Not going to tell you what to do, but if it was me no fucking way I’d miss this game. UD arena is awesome and their fans are good. It’s not the Yankee Stadium bleachers in ‘75.

[TrevlontRook3]

Let’s go rams!!! Time to make a statement tonight

I will tell you what to do - GO!!
I’ve been to Dayton Arena and it’s great. I sat right behind the URI Bench on one visit. The atmosphere is amazing. The draft beer flows very freely. Can’t beat it. It’s a very big game for both teams. It will be the biggest home game of the season for Dayton.

No worries, not a shot in hell I'm missing it. Just figured I'd hold on buying a ticket for a bit since they can be had cheap ($30 after fees) if you don't care about your seat

Nice little preview on CBSSN right now.

Ok ok
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but I have to ask is there any way of a live stream? I can’t seem to get one working.
My laptop won’t open the video for it when I click on it

[PeteRI]

Look at that line to get in!

I was able to watch the GW game on CBS Sports network this weekend and had similar problems to start. If you have an ad blocker on you need to turn that off. In the end I could only get the stream working in Firefox after trying in Chrome, and Internet explorer first.
Good luck!

[rhodylocal]

Or just download the CBS sports app on a phone.

[Running Ram]

when I think about how nervous we have all been today, I feel for the players and coaches. Hope they get zen right about now.

[reckless jake]

I'm hoping to be able to stream tonight's game on the CBSSports app too.

I'm sitting at anchor in Alliance Bay off of the coast of Mustique Island in the Grenadines, grilling fresh caught snapper on the stern of sailboat, got a newly poured rum and coke in hand...

You might say there's no way this day could get any better than this, but there is...

Go Rhody!!!!

[ramster]

Nice pregame feature on CBS Sports about Obi Toppin. His mother was interviewed too. She is at most all of Jacob’s home games and she told me a couple of weeks ago that she would definitely be at this game tonight in Dayton.
