1/19 | La Salle | 7:00PM (YurView/ESPN+)

[ATPTourFan]

Oh wow we should have lost that but we avoided a huge embarrassment.

[adam914]

I can't believe they missed 3 wide open three pointers...talk about lucky!

[URI_05]

We gave them enough shots at the end but La Salle is La Salle.

[Rhodymob05]

Wow

[steviep123]

Phew. Not the win we deserved but the win we got.

[RI_Bred]

Brickus lived up to his name thank God.

[KevanBoyles]

That’s what I call playing down to the competition.

[section(105)]

…….hey, we are 12-4……..

[DeanDome88]

LaSalle gets 3 shots on their last trip down the floor but fails to hit a shot. That was a fugly win.

[Rhody_NYCT]

That was lucky! A wins a win!

[PeteRI]

Let's hear it for our ace color commentator and good luck lady: Mumbles Monotone!

[Sweep The Leg]

Rhody always seems to give up a big corner 3 at the end of close games.

Well, they tried to, but LaSalle is going to LaSalle. Lucky for us.

[RI_Bred]

…….hey, we are 12-4……..

Sniffing the top 25!

[PeterRamTime]

Rhody always seems to give up a big corner 3 at the end of close games.

Big mistake by La Salle to not take that when they had the chance

I yelled out loud "NO!!"

We were doomed if he shot it

[RhodyRams916]

Not much to be proud of today. I’ll take the win I guess :/

[Sweep The Leg]

…….hey, we are 12-4……..

Sniffing the top 25!

Only if you're sniffing glue.

[steveystuds06]

We played horrible. Luckily Lasalle is very bad… Another meaningless win. I loved seeing Ish hit that game winner though

[PeteRI]

…….hey, we are 12-4……..

Sniffing the top 25!

Nothing like a lucky 2-point win at home against the 278th ranked team to push our ranking through the roof!

[PeteRI]

9 for 22 at the line

[UCH21377]

An instant classic

[Dino611]

Shades of the Lasalle home game two years ago where we won by like 3 at least it isn’t a loss

[Sweep The Leg]

9 for 22 at the line

Try a new approach.

[Joe95]

Way to gut it out after just an abysmally 1st half and some how fine a way to win. Destroy the tape. On to GW

[Joe95]

That team almost beat Bonaventure, just glad we got a win. We played the worst game of the season and still some how survived.

[ElmCityRhody]

Impressive win !

But a win is a win !

[RI_Bred]

That team almost beat Bonaventure, just glad we got a win. We played the worst game of the season and still some how survived.

Not for nothing and I do think Bonnies are a decent team, but they have not lived up to the pre-season hype to date.

[Rhody72]

Good teams can win when they stink at all facets of the game. This was a let down game after the great game at UMASS. Thomas has to work on his FTs. For some reason, they had no legs tonight.

[RhowdyRam02]

…….hey, we are 12-4……..

This is the nightmare scenario. Games like tonight where we play down to the competition, games where we give up huge leads, not a single good win on the ledger, but the record looks great if you're looking at things only superficially. This is what happens when you play in a weak conference and you let the coach schedule for his benefit and not the program's

An instant classic

Just can’t wait to rewatch this one as soon as ESPN posts it to the archive!!

[luke]

Yes PeteRI that is correct 9-22 from the line . Well , it was 3 -16 at one point which is worse tan a bad Elementary team shoots. not sure what happened , whether it was a lack of concentration or lack of will against an inferior team . On the very plus side if you want to look at the positive ( And that is
singular because there weren't any other positives ) URI play extremely intense defense for the final 5 minutes or so to totally shut down Lasalle .
There were some terrible shots taken and head scratching easy misses in the final misses . One of the Mitchells took a bad jumper and the point blank miss by Walker nearly cost them the game . Leggett's basket should have been called goal tending if it had missed because Lasalle had a player put his hand inside the net . They avoided disaster tonight and live to fight another day.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Yzzzzaaaawnnn.....

[PeterRamTime]

How about that stretch where Walker missed that reverse lay up, played matador defense, Makhel took an early in the shot clock 20 foot jumper and then one of the twins threw the ball five feet over the others head?

That sequence was actually worse than the color commentary

[PeterRamTime]

An instant classic

Lolol

I remember I used to always go back and watch games we won....can't say I've done much of that this year

[Rhody_NYCT]

HELLO? We won the game. Move on.

[Jersey77]

I don't see with this team and after last season, how a tough OOC schedule would of benefited our program.
Would it of helped by constantly getting destroyed by top teams, I don't think we were ready for that this season.
Yes it would have been nice to play SH but that didn't happen.

The A10 is still considered a top 10 conference.
Not sure how many mid-major conferences you feel are better, maybe only a very small handful.

I think our schedule will be much improved next season.

[rambone 78]

Winning is all that matters for some, but that will be rectified and soon.

3-16 from the line is beyond belief.

Embarrassing isn't a strong enough word.

So much for improvement....

Cox really had his team ready to play tonight!

4-12 would be worse. I’ll take 12-4 any day.

[rambone 78]

If we go 8-6 the rest of the way, that's 20 wins.

That would make Baron's 20 win seasons look great by comparison.

At least when he won 20 games, we usually went to the NIT.

Not a chance we go there this year even with that.

[Jersey77]

Would not like to be in the film room watching this performance.

Hopefully this game serves as a wakeup call.

3-16 from the line is NOT coaching. Winning the game despite that might be. Didn’t give up, increased defensive pressure in second half, rode players for the few minutes they were playing well. I’m not upset with Cox tonight.

[Rhody15]

What did I just watch….


Quite possibly the worst basketball game played since the Baron days.

We play any other team and we lose by 20.

[Rhodymob05]

A win will always be a win. Even if it’s that ugly.

20 wins gets a NIT bid and an extension.

An instant classic

Hahahahah I actually laughed out at this.

[Rhodymob05]

Two best plays in my opinion, mitchel twin to the basket for a two hand poster slam, and Carey’s crazy reverse layup with English. That kid is the definition of a slasher.

[Rhody15]

Carey reverse, followed by his two foul shots were huge.

He continues to impress in limited minutes.

[Rhody15]

Cox did not call a timeout until 1:20 left in the second half.

That is absolutely unheard of, and I can guarantee you no other D1 coach has waited till then to call one.

We won, but that’s kind of inexcusable to not call one till then.

[ram1980]

An ugly win is better than an ugly loss.. and man that was an ugly win.. poor e z buckets trying to get the fans going.. might help if the team can give us a reason to get loud.. do like being able to zip out of the parking lot and get home in less than an hour.. that's my positive take on tonight's game.

He didn't even use his use it or lose it first half timeout.. don't get it. Especially as flat as they were playing. Will give him some credit for half time adjustments.. defense much more intense and actually switched it up a little a couple of times defensively in second half

If there ever was a player who needed to see a few outside shots go in it was Jalen Carey. He is playing decent basketball.
