Must suppress feelings of cautious optimism...must suppress feelings of cautious optimism...

Good win!

[PeterRamTime]

Can we get the walk ons some names on their jerseys? Kinda mean!

[BleedBlue87]

Crazy what happens when you limit turnovers!

[theblueram]

Turnovers and free throws. NICE!!!! LEARN!!!!

[PeterRamTime]

Crazy what happens when you limit turnovers!

Do that we can make a run in the A-10 tourney!

[RhodyRams916]

Great win for Rhody. Mitchell, Antwan and Fatts all played very well.

Everyone but Carey played well really.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Ho. Lee. Crap.

Not much more to add, but this was impressive. Let’s remember it was one half of one game.

[Billyboy78]

It's amazing how effective our offense can be when we don't turn the ball over, get good shots and make free throws....46 points in the 2nd half. I also love the way Makhel is progressing with some nice low post moves and scoring.

[RI_Bred]

Any thoughts or word on why no Harris tonight?

[RhodyRams916]

4 turnovers for Carey today

[DeanDome88]

Mitchell has established himself at center we need a few more players to figure it out. Lots of guys contributed today.

[RhodeIslandRams]

Makhel practices FT's for the first time

Is now perfect.

Did no one think of that before? lol

[Ram96]

When he makes his free throws he’s a legit threat down low!

[Rhody_NYCT]

Let's raise a glass to that 2nd half! That was a beautiful half of basketball. Fun to watch! So many great things came together. Congrats Rhody!

[PeterRamTime]

Ho. Lee. Crap.

Yep. You could say they closed out the half playing well too.

Still some atrocious play to start.

[Ram96]

Its looked like two different teams playing. Rams in the second half looked nothing like the first half or the last few games for that matter.

[Rhody15]

Any thoughts or word on why no Harris tonight?

Because. He. Isn’t. Good.

[NJRhodyFan]

I hate to pile on the kid, but Carey should be a “break the glass in case of emergency” player moving forward. What I can’t figure out is how he was so highly-rated to begin with. Was he competing against the school for the blind in high school??

[RhodeIslandRams]

It's a 3 boys. Give us another

We just won't get that point i guess and stupid Tim Mccormick brought it up and then they just forget to address it again.

Exactly! They brought it up, made a big deal about it, and when apparently a decision is made, they never mention it again. Sheesh.

[theblueram]

Carey needs to be out of the line up.

[Rhody Sody]

Great win for Rhody. Mitchell, Antwan and Fatts all played very well.

Everyone but Carey played well really.

4 turnovers for Carey today

Great win, a lot of positives after the first 10 mins of play. No doubt we have top tier A10 talent and that includes Carey. He definitely has some skill but needs to clean up the turnovers if he is going to continue getting solid minutes down the stretch. His second half drive and layup was smooth but the 4 TOs were worse. I’m hoping he can figure out how to protect the ball.

The rest of the team was pretty solid. Can’t wait to see what team shows up next game.

[Rhodymob05]

Crazy what happens when you limit turnovers!

This comes from good preparation and coaching. Today was an improvement. End of the day, if they limit turnovers, watch out. (12 turnovers today, that’s 7 below average and 7 less possessions for the other team.)

[rhodyruckus]

Note to self: walking away from the game does wonders for Rhody's performance. (I had to do some stuff around the house when it was 13-5 GMU.)

[rhodyfan3000]

The development of Makhel to a true center is one of the best stories of the season. Makes things very interesting going forward.

[rhodyfan3000]

Note to self: walking away from the game does wonders for Rhody's performance. (I had to do some stuff around the house when it was 13-5 GMU.)

That was me too.

I think I have missed 4 games including this one for one reason or another. In the 4 games I have missed, Rhody is 4-0.

If I don't watch the game, they automatically win. If I do watch the game, it's closer to 50/50.

[rambone 78]

This team can be good when they limit the turnovers and make FT's.

That much is clear.

Need to see some more of this.

And yes, Carey needs to sit and Leggett needs to play.

He can see the floor and slow the game down, pretty good for a freshman.

Just like Jeff did.

[bigappleram]

It’s amazing when you play team defense and don’t throw the ball all over the place how good you can look

Our best half of basketball on both ends in a long time

Makhel continues to impress, his footwork, patience and game awareness get better every game. If him and his brother don’t play in NCAA games in Keaney Blue it’s a travesty

Jalen Carey is unplayable

Shorter bench made us more cohesive

Antwan Walker in PnR with Fatts and a shooter in the strong corner (Shep, DJ) should be our go to play when we need a hoop

Ish Leggett fills the stat sheet yet doesn’t attempt a FG. He is a gamer. #FreeIsh

That is what this team is capable of; how much we see of that moving forward is in their hands (and the staff).

Glad I got a TV guy that feels the same I do!
Never seen the color guys do that!

We won this game 81-60 damnit!!!

[rambone 78]

If we can see more of the Good Rams, and less of the Bad Rams the rest of this season, then we might getting somewhere.

[bigappleram]

6th team in a row we outrebounded (+8) breaks our streak of 5 in row with double digit advantage.

[theblueram]

If we can see more of the Good Rams, and less of the Bad Rams the rest of this season, then we might getting somewhere.

Keep the rotation short and we should. More Ish less Carey.

[Rhody15]

Absolutely amazing how people have been calling for Carey to be out of the rotation, yet wanting Harris and have been questioning why he isn’t playing and saying it has to be an injury or disciplinary and not that he just isn’t good.

Harris didn’t play today because he sucks, has always sucked, and Cox is finalizing realizing we’re better with DJ.

I know it’s going to be tough for everyone to finally admit they’ve been wrong for 3 years and I (along with Blue Man) have been right.

[Seawrightspostgame]

Good win! Keep winning and get better! Lots of season left.

[Rhody_NYCT]

I think some of us are being too hard on Carey. He definitely seems out of sync. But he has shown a nice mid range jump shot at times and is very athletic. He also has the ability to drive and score at the rim as good as anyone on the team. Needs to just minimize the turnovers and let the game come to him. If he puts a lot of work into his 3 point shot and ball handling he will be a great player for us for a few more more years.

[Jersey77]

Nice double/double (14/10) from Makhel, he is really coming along great. Walker continues to impress and they both form a good duo up front.
DJ had a +/- of +20, best on the team today.

+20 for DJ instead of Harris, just another reason why DJ should be permanent in.

He doesn’t even need to shoot 3s at a high level, just cut down on the turnovers and he’s be fine.

He’s easily the most athletic player on the team, he does things going to the basket that nobody else can do.

That put back dunk last game showed that.

Cut down the turnovers and he’ll be fine.

Dude there’s plenty of people who have been disappointed with Harris’s play and just decide to not continuously trash a kid online behind anonymity. It’s called being an adult.

[Rhody15]

I’ll continue on this rant by the way.

How people have posted about Carey this year is exactly how I’ve been on Harris.

Yet people will bash on Carey.

I’m saying Ish needs to get his minutes until he figured things out. I’m not saying “he sucks” behind a screen name. They aren’t the same.

[Rhody15]

Fatts 50% from the field, 60% from 3, led the team in points and assists.

But nobody will give him props today because everyone just wants to pile on him.

[Rhodymob05]

Fatts played great. This team can't afford for him to play bad, especially when he takes 15 shots and makes a couple.

[Jersey77]

Fatts 50% from the field, 60% from 3, led the team in points and assists.

He also had 0 turnovers and 2 steals.
We are a better team with him on the court

[rhodyfan3000]

Ish doing that glue guy thing again. He's getting all Preston Murphy out there with his chances.

[RhodyRams916]

We are a better team when he's not shooting 20% from 3 and 30% from the floor lol

Fatts was fantastic today. Disciplined with his shooting, not overdoing it.

[theblueram]

Fatts 50% from the field, 60% from 3, led the team in points and assists.

But nobody will give him props today because everyone just wants to pile on him.

The issue is we expected him to play like this every game. But against UAss, 3-13 FG, 1-3 3pt and 3 TO's. So, it's tough to praise a Senior when this is what we expected but have not seen consistently.

Seriously, Harris didn't even DNP to your expectations. It's hard to critique a player in an in-game thread who isn't on the floor. Harris hasn't been good this year and neither has Carey. Both should be end of the bench guys.

Do you watch Harris like this?

I think Carey is athletic, but he can't shoot from the outside and has a weak handle. I think if he played off the ball and gets in open space in the paint on the move he can be effective. And crash the offensive boards, he has hops and can finish near the rim. If he were 6'8, he'd have much more upside.
