Long time follower of this board and finally created an account because it's becoming really difficult to watch a team with so much talent fall short.

As disappointing as the latest stretch has been, sometimes teams click at the right time and go on a run. Remember the '11 Huskies that went .500 in Big East play? The negativity on this board can be exhausting. As diehard fans we are supposed to be supportive during trying times.

I hope this team can put it all together. We've seen flashes of it. A tough road loss against Fordham may finally be a wake up call to play to your strengths. It constantly feels like 1 or 2 v. 5 on offense and I think the strategy should focus on getting into the paint, easy buckets for the Twins, and perimeter ball movement if the look isn't there.

Go Rhody.

Welcome to the shit show!

It's almost like there should be a person that is appointed, possibly even paid a large sum of money, to ensure that a sound strategy is in place to utilize the talent as efficiently and effectively as possible. What do I know though?

It’s all about the tournament, we have to win the auto bid.
So this game is just about searching for the best combinations…

On a positive note, the US is up 2-0.

Tonight’s game may actually be the low point in the Ryan Center era. I’m sure there were some low points in the 2011-2012 season but I think people knew that Baron was going to get fired. I don’t think there’s that same confidence for Cox.

When you have Todd Bozeman on the sidelines it shouldn't be that hard.

Todd Bozeman who is literally a better head coach than Cox.

(Not saying he is the answer, just pointing out the obvious)

Somebody needs to record what Cox says to the team during a time out. We need some levity and that would certainly provide some.

God, this is fucking awful. I will give some credit to Kyle Neptune though - on paper, they shouldn't be hanging with URI, but they clearly scouted us well beforehand, and his guys are playing hard, even without Daye out there. Fordham will live or die by the 3, which is kind of what you want to do anyway if you're undermanned.

Everyone talks about our great defense but I see a bunch of guys that get lost on D as soon as there is a pick set. We have very athletic guys who many times can recover quickly which masks some mistakes but we are very undisciplined, even on D. Watching the Lady Rams play D you can see that they know how to play D in Tammi’s system. Everyone on the same page.
