......can we sign Carey up for the transfer portal......?

[reef]

Walker looking good needs to play 30 minutes

[eli#10]

Guess it is OK with Cox if Mitchell takes a 3 pointer.

[Joe95]

Another Shit performance

[section(105)]

.......I like Tim Welsh......on TV....

[Gators1]

Why is Walker out AGAIN?

[eli#10]

Walker out Martin in WTF Walker cannot be stopped down low.
What am I missing? Can someone enlighten me?

[reef]

Shep to Mitch on ally’s look great

[Rhode_Island_Red]

.......I like Tim Welsh......on TV....

Once he took that job he became persona non grata eternally.

[DeanDome88]

That play were Betrand knocked the ball out of bounds was the fastest that I have seen him move.

[RhodyRams916]

Wow Betrand sucks with URI. Can't hit anything

[theblueram]

Got the practice squad out there again.

[Rhody15]

Betrand is an absolute nothing.

Doesn’t care about anything except chucking up terrible shots.

[RhodyRams916]

What a fucking mess. Let's keep Martin and Betrand in, 2 players who can't hit a shot -.-

[Blue Man]

How do people excuse Harris’ play? It baffles my mind that anyone who watches any amount of basketball thinks he is an A-10 level player.

[URI_05]

Hot garbage

[theblueram]

They bring Leggett back in and what do you know, he gets a bucket.

[section(105)]

......can we sign Carey up for the transfer portal......?

......and AB.......

[RI_Bred]

What the f is going on here? Why are we playing our bench? INFURIATING!!!!

[KingstonLane]

It’s not what anyone here wants to hear but it’s quite obvious Cox is looking past this season. Letting everyone get run, probably the right thing to do. If you cared about this game or the rest of this season a lot of these guys would not be getting minutes

[RhodyRams916]

David Cox should be fired after this game. I don't fucking care if they make yet another run in the 2nd half. He is screwing up the rotation.

[eli#10]

Cox substitution pattern makes no sense. Things are not bad enough and we have to also put up with him and his subs.

[steveystuds06]

Why the hell is Walker out??? The guy was freaking dominating..Cox with yet another bad half

[RI_Bred]

Shhhh, we’re not allowed to criticize the biggest bust in URI history. He is holier than thou to people on this board.

[eli#10]

Saw DJ in at the end of the half. Why? We all know his defense is suspect. Why no Walker?

Cox is absolutely non-sensical with his subs. Did Martin play?

[URI_05]

It’s not what anyone here wants to hear but it’s quite obvious Cox is looking past this season. Letting everyone get run, probably the right thing to do. If you cared about this game or the rest of this season a lot of these guys would not be getting minutes

So we’re now at the 3D chess level of coaching. The simple answer is usually the correct one.

I mean I get what you’re trying to say but at the end of the day what is there left to prove this year? If I’m the coach (and know next year is one of the most important of my career), I’d want everyone on my roster getting as much experience as possible

Lol no. It’s as simple as more playing = more experience = HOPEFULLY better players

Or you want to get at least a single bye in the A10 tourney and make a run to save your job this year?

Are you Cox’s agent or one of his family members?

I just think you play to win every game. And clearly this is not the way to do it.

Why? So you can have a ten man rotation?

They could lose every last game on the schedule this year and Cox isn’t getting fired.

[kmillr]

AB,Carey, Martin, Harris...
All weak links.

Would prefer a shorter rotation to get ready for an A-10 tournament with a very beatable field.

Considering that we haven’t seen Wood yet and Shepp gets the most minutes I would say Cox isn’t committed to anything at all - which is most worrisome.

He’s a rudderless ship and so is this team.

[KingstonLane]

If AB and/or Carey don’t figure it out (to some extent), you’re pretty screwed

[RamStock]

Bertrand and Carey are awful. I can’t believe someone thought Bertrand he would be the best player on the team day one. Carey is so overrated. He can’t play the point, he can’t shoot and he turns the ball over. Other than that he is a real asset. Too bad the season wasn’t over right now.

What does that mean? Sure he could lose every last game and not get fired, but he won't want to see fans in the stands next year.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d also prefer to see our best players getting the lions share of minutes. Despite what everyone here in the last 10 minutes thinks, I don’t enjoy watching every game for us to get our doors blown off.

My original point was just more of an observation of how I felt he is distributing minutes. I don’t love it in the moment but can recognize why it could matter

[Rhody15]

14 points 6 rebounds for Walker.

9 minutes.

Clueless Cox.

The person who said that about Betrand, and also who has defended Cox every day since he got hired, has been awfully quiet around these parts the last month...

[eli#10]

I think I have pretty good basketball mind but I have to admit I have no effing idea what Cox is trying to do. Guys all drive to the basket, no passes out to the open corners and of course no mid range jumpers. How many drives to the basket wound up with bad shots or blocked shots. UMASS makes the extra pass for open 3s.
Oh and Mitchell shoots a 3.

[Blue Man]

Gotta make sure Harris has a chance to try hard

If your theory is true, why is Sheppard leading the team with 18 minutes and why is an injured Fatts second?

It doesn't matter. He is killing any credibility he has as a coach.

And jump really high. And use his good vision to direct the offense from the top of the key.

[reef]

Betrand is way overrated and Carey is barely playable cut their minutes

[eli#10]

Martin getting a free ride on this board. You can put him with Bertrand and Carey based on what I have seen.

How can Walker only play 9 minutes?

[KingstonLane]

Every single poster on this board better hope Shep comes back next year. And I bet Cox is praying even harder than any of us

Nothing says “come play at URI” like benching one of the all time players in your schools history
