1/28 | Dayton | 7:00PM (ESPN2)

[Ram96]

With all the air balls and turnovers we look a lot like my son’s 7th grade team. We are just awful.

[adam914]

WHY WOULD YOU CALL YOUR LAST TIMEOUT AFTER A MADE BASKET WITH 2 MINUTES LEFT IN A CLOSE GAME? I AM GOING TO LOSE MY DAMN MIND!!!

[rhodyrudder]

The Cox Timeout™

Nuf ced

I hope they don’t make any more threes…
That was the last one

[Rhodymob05]

Does Cox get upset by anything?

[PeteRI]

That's it boys slow it down no sense of urgency. And the obligatory turnover.

[Taylor Swift]

Gotta
A). Have fun
B). Play for ot...so you don't have to fly back into the blizZARD

Anyone know if they took a charter?

That would have to suck being stuck in Ohio.

Golden Corral is calling

Not really an Arby’s night?

[ATPTourFan]

Amazed how frequently Mitchell's get blocked at the rim. They make flashy dunks when there's nobody in the way, but they don't dunk over anyone.

Cox wasn't aware he was down to one TO, I bet.

[RhodeIslandRams]

Shooting for the tie? It's a four point lead geez

[ElmCityRhody]

Does Cox get upset my anything?

Yes when he gets FIRED

FIRE COX

CLUELESS
COACH

[Rhody15]

We need points--why Thomas

You want those stiffs who started the game?

[NYGFan_Section208]

The timeouts scene is just totally crazy...wtf is he thinking? How can you have no timeouts with this much time?

[PeteRI]

Imagine being excited that you're beating our team. Dayton fans can do better.

[eli#10]

Why is Thomas in the game. It is like 4 against 5 in our front court offense. He is in the middle dribbling and doing nothing. Why Why Cox

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Amazed how frequently Mitchell's get blocked at the rim. They make flashy dunks when there's nobody in the way, but they don't dunk over anyone.

Cox wasn't aware he was down to one TO, I bet.

Then somebody on the bench should be fired. There's somebody who goes to the scorer's table at every time out to check how many remain.

[PeteRI]

Our offense is so pathetic we couldn't get to the line even once in the second half.

[Backroads]

Bassy made a shot!

[KingstonLane]

Just don’t get why Thomas gets so much run. He can’t score at this level

[ATPTourFan]

Could have won if they valued the basketball.

[PeterRamTime]

Loserrrrrrrs

[PeteRI]

I'm sure Cox had fun as he almost pulled out a win.

[Rhodymob05]

I personally think Thomas does a good job controlling the ball and is usually composed. Shepard needs to be out there though. Another L

[RhodyRams916]

The score doesn't reflect how shit URI was today. #CoxOut

[Rhody15]

I think I want Berry over Leggett.

Leggett is an actual zero.

[ElmCityRhody]

Cox is a loser

Plain and simple

I can coach better

CUT BAIT WITH THIS LOW IQ COACH

[section(105)]

Just don’t get why Thomas gets so much run. He can’t score at this level

……neither can Leggett, no?

[PeteRI]

"We competed, had fun and almost pulled out a win. I'm proud of these young men and their relentless effort to make big plays down the stretch. I feel good where we're at and it's just a matter of time before we put it all together and yadda yadda yadda ..."

[RamStock]

Just don’t get why Thomas gets so much run. He can’t score at this level

I agree with you 100%. He is a nice bench player as an eighth man on a good team, but I think we are so desperate for any type of talent since Ish hasn’t lived up to it that they are trying to create a local superstar.

[PeteRI]

It really says something about the state of our program that I get more enjoyment from our fan site than the actual game .

[TrevlontRook3]

Not worried,


We’re figuring it out. CT-zero cleared for take off and take over

[KingstonLane]

Just don’t get why Thomas gets so much run. He can’t score at this level

……neither can Leggett, no?

Sure Leggett is slumping I think we’d all agree there. But he’s proven he can score at this level, even if many of those times were last year

…….with a team/program swirling the drain, I have no issue with this…….

[rhodysurf]

Thomas plays composed. It’s sorely needed on this team

[KingstonLane]

Exactly. Maybe he develops his game and turns into a starter, but that’s not who he is right now.

It feels like you’re playing 4 v 5 with a coach in sweatpants who can pass but can’t shoot

[KingstonLane]

Thomas plays composed. It’s sorely needed on this team

Nothing says composed like shooting 15% from 3pt range

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Not for nothing, but we shot seven free throws and they shot 18.

[Rhody15]

Jalen Carey is competing out there. Will Cox recognize that and actually increase his minutes as long as he is playing well?

Carey should be the first guard off the bench. Thomas isn’t ready for this type of environment. He was having issues with Dayton’s length.

Do you mean Carey should play the most minutes out of any of the guards?

[Rhody15]

Not for nothing, but we shot seven free throws and they shot 18.

Stop.

We had THREE second half fouls with 1 minute left in the game.

Refs had nothing to do with tonight at all.

He was better than Sheppard tonight and it wasn’t particularly close.

[RamStock]

Ish is a complete bust this year. He was the one guy that this program and the fans were hanging their hats on to carry the team over the next few years and take them to another level and NCAA berth. Pipe dream. Don’t care if the whole roster left with Cox. Maybe Walker would get more minutes with a new coach

[rambone 78]

I would normally be really upset with another close loss.

Nope.....

Hey, we're making progress, we didn't blow a lead!

We just find a different way to lose every time......

The turnovers are insane.....such a disciplined bunch......

It;s OK though, Cox stays on schedule to be fired.

We need to end up below .500 to seal the deal....let's get it done.

Define better? Sheppard is an exponentially better shot creator and scorer then Thomas. Our offense is already so one dimensional with 3 of our best players being big men. Now you add a guard who can’t shoot

Bassy makes plays. His shot will come. Without him on the court it’s the twins trying to initiate from the perimeter

Not saying much considering where Sheppard is at. Another huge disappointment. It can’t hurt to play him though and get him 20-25 minutes game to see what he can offer. What is the difference.

When was the last time Sheppard had 8 assists?

Also Sheppard shoots under 40% from the field this season.

[bigappleram]

In our biggest possession of the game Carey took a step back fade away three. Just like ya draw it up.

Cox is throwing spaghetti at the wall in terms of player combinations and it’s end of January.

[bigappleram]

When you surround Thomas with no real outside threats and 2 big men you basically take away his best ability (penetration and find people). He should get PT he’s just not being put in the best spots to succeed. But he had zero to do with us losing tonight.

[Taylor Swift]

I’m going to go out there tomorrow maybe have some fun. Might make a snow angel.

He is a much better scorer than Thomas. That is a fact not a debate. I don’t care what the player did for me the last 10 minutes I care what he’s capable of in the next 10. Thomas in his current state isn’t capable of scoring to take over a game, Sheppard is

Thank you, this is my entire point. I don’t dislike Thomas as a player, but this team isn’t constructed with shooters. So taking away your very few shooters for a guard who can’t shoot makes no sense
