2/11 | Dayton | 7:30PM (CBSSN)

[Rhodyram]

Was there any clarification on who the tech was called on?

[Rhodysk]

Ouch that Tech hurt.
Looked like someone on the far end of the bench said something.
Almost the same thing to Dayton on there Tech.
Either the Ref has rabbit ears or some “ magical words “ were said. Both head coaches did not look to happy about it.

Time to re group. Game is far from over.
Keep attacking the hoop and get the fouls calls.
That kept us in the game. Free throw shooting this half has to be at 80% or better.

[Taylor Swift]

Was there any clarification on who the tech was called on?

To my knowledge, no, but they said a coach on the bench.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

The T looked like a makeup call.

Our defense is pathetic -- Dayton can go pretty much wherever they want. Plus, they're a step and a half quicker. Plus, they've forced us into about two dozen bad shots.

[RhodyRam86]

This game could have been 7 (or better) at halftime. That ref called that ball that bounced out of bounds off a Dayton player with nobody around Dayton ball and then we got teched I guess for complaining about it. That’s one of the worst pieces of officiating I’ve ever seen. If people don’t understand why I hate refs, this is why.

you too TP? were you complaining when URI got a 5 point play after martin carried the ball? or when cyril traveled 3 times before making a layup?

i'm embarrassed for any URI fan that complains about the officiating in the last 2 minutes of the first half of this game.

[Rhody15]

Can you please just go away?? You are such a loser! You spend every waking moment looking for a reason to rip the kid. Get a life. Honestly.

Don’t get mad cus all you are defending a kid who isn’t good.

You’re a tool. You rag on the kid as if you have some personal vendetta against him. Grow up. Nobody on this board has ever said Harris is the top player on this team, yet he’s contributing during this 10-game winning streak just like everybody else. You’re ripping on him because he gave up a few points against Obi Toppin, arguably a top-5 player in the country, which makes your jabs that much more pathetic and petty. Go back to mommy’s basement and let the real fans enjoy the game.

I rag on the kid because he was a top 80 kid, people said he would average 17-20 points, say he’s a “developing big” when he hasn’t done anything to show he’ll develop, people compliment him getting the tip, a hook shot, and his hustle which if that’s the only thing you can compliment, you know he stinks.

Sorry I expect him to be better than he is.

[JimSidd]

Absolutely can’t blame the officials to this point.

Dayton defending at an elite level. They are all over Fatts. He has no room to operate. Staff needs to dial up some plays to free him up or this won’t get any better.

Dayton looking like a Final Four team so far tonight.

[SandorClegane]

This game sucks so far. Need to come out better in the 2nd half.
Has anyone noticed how the announcers on CBS are salivating over Dayton’s balls..?

[LoveThoseRams]

This is the first game I’ve watched where I haven’t heard an announcer say where Fatts got his name from.

Still early

First time I heard someone say we may have to put Dana Tate in, after he transferred

Agreed. I rewound for the replay (because God forbid CBSSN show it) and it was clear beyond a doubt it was off Dayton. Horrible call.

Agreed. We had numerous calls go our way. The deficit should arguably be more than it is.

[theblueram]

Welp, we need Fatts to go for 40 this half.

That’s true we needed that call right there and we probably down 7 at worst huge swing to be down 14

I’m embarrassed that you’re embarrassed.

The Dayton kid was all by himself and knocked the ball out of bounds. The eggshell psyche refs get mad at other people when they fuck up on TV and T people up because they’re humiliated. They’re cowardly reaction to being terrible at their job cost URI all the work they did to get back into the game.

[rhodyruckus]

Goddamn SEVEN point swing (5 points them vs a possible bucket for us) by refs blowing the Dayton OOB play then T-ing us up.

were you complaining when Cyril traveled three times and made a layup. or when martin carried the ball and didn't get called for it and RI ended up with a 5 point play?

No, but difference was that was not nearly the momentum swing that this was.

[steviep123]

This is the first game I’ve watched where I haven’t heard an announcer say where Fatts got his name from.

Still early

First time I heard someone say we may have to put Dana Tate in, after he transferred

Yeah I’m pretty sure that would be an NCAA violation

[steveystuds06]

I'm sick of Rhody15 talking about Jermaine Harris, but if he starts the second half and defends Obi Toppin I'll lose my mind. Ryan Preston played a great first half and Cyril can somewhat contain Obi. Start Preston...

[Rhodymob05]

We got it to single digits and they shot lights out. Stay focused.

steviep...did you rewind the tape to see if there were any horrible calls that went URI's way in the first half? all of your complaints are truly embarrassing.

Besides, I've seen worse travels against us get uncalled. Namely Tre Mitchell on numerous occasions during the ZooMass game.

[Blue Man]

I am just going to say - we play better in the 2nd half and Dayton does not.

[ramster]

Making a run!

Oh with Harris on the bench too...

Toppin hasn’t scored since Cyril has gone on him.

Can you please just go away?? You are such a loser! You spend every waking moment looking for a reason to rip the kid. Get a life. Honestly.

Don’t get mad cus all you are defending a kid who isn’t good.

So the half is over and the criticism is only on Harris and Langevine. Not a word about our guard play.

Our star guards missed their first 8 shots. Dowtin missed 3, Russel missed 5 before he hit a drive. Russell with 2 points in the half. You say we made the run with Harris on the bench, but you don’t mention Russell was also on the bench during the run.

Dowtin came on the last 5 minutes scoring 8 points in the last 4:57 of the half - the first 15 minutes of the half he had zero. Russell only 2 points in the half.

We need Dowtin and Russell this second half.

Langevine played tough with 7 rebounds, 8 points. He is not a good FT Shooter but we did not get to 18-5 and 10 straight wins because of Langevine FT Shooting. That is not why we are in this position down 14.

Walker and Toppin played well with 3 rebounds each and 4 points each helping to keep the game as close as it is.

[TruePoint]

Sorry I expect him to be better than he is.

I expect you to be better than you are. Post about anything other than Harris. Bordering on harassment at this point.

[ElmCityRhody]

For the record - ppl didn’t say 17-20 for JH - I said it - and I was wrong to say it

Now, we need to come together as a team and as a fan base and FOCUS

every possession I want us all
To be together and will this victory and Comeback


Let’s go

Lol ok bud. Just like they didn’t call walker or Martin for a travel and then we get a 5 point play out of it that gets us back in the game.

[DeanDome88]

This would be an epic comeback.

[RamStock]

Just want them to play hard and forget the score. Play like it is a 2 point game

[Urifan91]

Does that guy behind the announcer have a beer in his seat?

[FDshoes]

Ryan preston ehh???

tp...you mean all the hard work we did by carrying the ball and not getting called for it? yes...horrible call went against URI at the end of the half, but you weren't complaining when at least 3 or 4 blown calls went our way in the first half. keep watching the game through your rose colored glasses.

[JimSidd]

Dayton defending well without help. Rhody helping too much at times, leading to gaps for drives and open looks from three. Need to play more straight up D in the second half, with only Cyril guarding Obi. No one else can handle him one on one. Cyril will at least make him work.

[ghostofkeaney]

We got within 9. I have faith. let’s go boys

Before that I mentioned to my friend watching with me that Rhody is getting some breaks. Nothing was atrocious as that which broke a run. Lead was cut to 9 with about 2 mins left.

Both teams got 5 pt plays. One team started the game up 17-0. That's the difference.

[Joe95]

Get Harris out, he is such a liability.

[steviep123]

And a weak foul call on Langevine

[steviep123]

URI getting sloppy and Dayton can move and pass the ball

[RhodyRam86]

Goddamn SEVEN point swing (5 points them vs a possible bucket for us) by refs blowing the Dayton OOB play then T-ing us up.

were you complaining when Cyril traveled three times and made a layup. or when martin carried the ball and didn't get called for it and RI ended up with a 5 point play?

No, but difference was that was not nearly the momentum swing that this was.

are you kidding me? the tech on them spurred a 7-0 run for us. but true. in your rhody blue heart the refs are picking on us

[rhodyruckus]

URI getting sloppy and Dayton can move and pass the ball

Pretty much the difference to this point, Dayton just finishes transition plays with so much more ease than the Rams.

[HobbyBurley]

Dayton is good. Prettay, prettay, prettay, prettay good.

Weird hill to die on, but ok I don't feel like getting into the refs any longer...

[ghostofkeaney]

Fatts bleeding?

[Blue Man]

Lol well our guards didn’t show up tonight. Harris can not play defense at this level yet. Really no one got off the plane.

We were rattled. Even the “no media” for part makes me think we put too much pressure on ourselves going into this.

Q1 loss on the road. Won’t hurt us. Regroup and get better after this one and win another 10 in a row and go to the dance.

Should be used to being a bridesmaid and never a bride at this point. Idk why I even got up for it lol.

[Seawrightspostgame]

Fatts have a big cut on his face?

cyril travelled 3 times on that play...but by all means go back two games to find a play to make your point.

[Seawrightspostgame]

Yup

[ram1980]

This team is superior to us.. they move the ball crisply and with purpose.. tons of open shots.. we have to battle for every shot.. hope we hang in there but they are real good.. definitely seem for real

[adam914]

Fatts gets a T for getting cut on his eye?

[steviep123]

I have no idea what is going on.
