thomas 3-4 from 3 not in the game WTF

[rhodysurf]

I mean Fordham is terrible. Like terrible.

We came all the way back to blow it.

This team has an identity all right.

Commitment to the bit!

[Rhody22]

Leggett is actually like a BAD basketball player.

Like he isn’t even CLOSE to A10 level.

He needs to be a DNP-Coaches Decision from here on out.

He did absolutely nothing positive when he went in for Carey with 5ish minutes left.

But he’s from the DMV…

[Rhodymob05]

Why the fuck would you sit thomas

!!! Hottest player in the game "ride the pine Thomas"

[RamStock]

Leggett=charge

Every single time

He also equals complete disappointment almost every single game!

Never understood the love for him last year. His ceiling is obviously low.

[KevanBoyles]

And the end it’s another example of playing down, or maybe up, to the competition. Still can’t close. ABC.

[RhodyFanNotAlum]

If URI wins, I can't wait to hear the superlatives coming out of Cox's mouth about what a great team Fordham has, how tough URI played, etc.

I really really hate when they spin a shitty game like that.

I was thinking the same thing. Reminds me of the days when Jim Baron would paint any time they played even if they were 1-24 as a talented team and highlighted all their strengths

Too be fair, good coaches do this too. (In Cox's case the superlatives here are going to be exactly the same win or lose.)

[NYGFan_Section208]

And per your signature, terrible is great. If we keep working at it like this, we can be terrible, too?

[eli#10]

How many charging fouls has Leggett got tonight. He has regressed a lot this year and will not take a mid range jump shot.

[Rhodymob05]

Guard substitutions have been awful today.

[KingstonLane]

But if Sheppard is dogshit against Fordham, why should he play against better competition?

My point has nothing to do with Sheppard.

Would love nothing more than Thomas having a great career here. But we sound like absolute losers getting hyped up about a player on our team scoring 9 points against Fordham. While losing to them no less

Everyone said the last few days he couldn’t shoot.

He hit three 3s tonight.

What could he have possibly done more tonight (shooting wise) to please people?

I mean are you even watching? The first 3 I don’t even think there was a defensive player in the camera shot. If he can’t make that he shouldn’t be playing college basketball

Everyone here so quick to forget Leggett as a freshmen scored 18 against Dayton, 16 against VCU, 12 against Seton Hall. Thomas scored 9 points against Fordham. Let’s pump the damn brakes people

[PeterRamTime]

They identify as a pass out of bounds

[RamStock]

Who is going to be the first one to say “let the season play out and maybe we win the A-10 tourney?”

[eli#10]

The good news I guess is that Cox is alive. Where has El-Amin been?

[Rhody72]

Why the fuck would you sit thomas

FT%

[DeanDome88]

"Hey nobody beats Fordham when they have fans in the building"

[KevanBoyles]

Why am I wasting my time watching this dumpster fire? Goodnight Irene.

[NYGFan_Section208]

[steveystuds06]

I don’t think we want to use Fordham as a barometer for how Thomas can play

Would love nothing more than Thomas having a great career here. But we sound like absolute losers getting hyped up about a player on our team scoring 9 points against Fordham. While losing to them no less

I’m all for tempering expectations but a freshman hitting clutch shots like that is a positive. When Gill hit the game winner against Fordham we’re we losers for getting excited?

You seem salty because Thomas had a good game..

[Dino611]

One good thing out this game it should be easier for Cox to be fired

[ghostofkeaney]

We. Are. Bad.

Ball dribbled off the foot? Airball?

I’m a fan of URI. I want URI players to be great. I want Thomas to be great.

I’m not going to crown Thomas our savior because he scored 9 points against the team in our conference that has a thread on this board about getting relegated out of our conference.

Does that surprise anyone? How bout the timeout as we were rallying that allowed Fordham to regroup. Needed
EL-Amin on floor at end of game.

He STINKS.

[RhodeIslandRams]

How many of you thought when we came back and tied it that we would win? Hands?

Quite the opposite actually. This board is constantly leaching onto the next shiny object. Thomas is doing a lot less than what Leggett did as a freshmen

[McRam]

The good news I guess is that Cox is alive. Where has El-Amin been?

a perfect example of how Cox does not use El Amin's capabilities. He is their best shooter, was an excellent offensive player at Ball State and no plays run for him, zero.

anyone see a simple curl for him? Anyone see anything fun for him..... Have no idea why Cox wanted him if he does not use him.

How many minutes tonight?

[Sweep The Leg]

We lose to bad teams even without their starters. Did Cox game plan all Daye?

I mean people spent the entire week saying the kid can’t shoot. Including myself. Give the kid some credit…

Ish will get out of his slump eventually. But he’s been bad this season. This isn’t a contest on who’s better. Both players have had good moments and bad moments…Lately Thomas looks like the better player.

PLEASE enlighten us what Leggett has done this season.

Last year literally doesn’t matter whatsoever, so I beg you to tell all of us what Leggett has done for us this season to play all these minutes.

[section(105)]

……..eventually is gonna be too late……(Leggett out of slump)

[section(105)]

………post game from Cox should be a classic for the archives…..

I mean last year does mean something. He’s proven he can do it against the best teams in this conference. Comparatively Thomas scores a season high 9 points against the worst team in this conference and now is getting his number retired

[RIFan]

Thomas had an almost good game. All we had was performance to date as info…let’s see if he can continue the ok play…this performance is nothing to write home about we have had hundreds of better games by true freshman before.

[rambone 78]

Thomas might be the only reason we come within 20 of VCU with their press....that's if he plays a LOT.

[KingstonLane]

Thomas had an almost good game. All we had was performance to date as info…let’s see if he can continue the ok play…this performance is nothing to write home about we have had hundreds of better games by true freshman before.

Exactly, thank you. Thomas had his personal best game of the season. It also came against the worst team on our schedule. These can both be true but are important context.

Feel like I’m turning into Blue Man here but this board celebrating that over being pissed off over this game as a whole just didn’t sit right with me

[steviep123]

I didn't watch - I did keep my eye on the score and even when I noticed it was tied at 48 and at 51, I still had no faith we'd pull it off. If it were us that blew the 17 point lead, we'd definitely lose, but we can't come back from a big deficit and win. Honestly, I'm numb. Not shocked, not even upset any more. It's almost comical. I can't help but laugh or I'll drive myself crazy!

[Cameron_Dollar]

On the Fordham fan forum if there is such a thing, they are probably calling for us to leave the A10 and replace us with Iona.

………post game from Cox should be a classic for the archives…..

“Really proud of the way our guys fought tonight. Showed real character late in the second half. Not the result we wanted, but saw things we will try to improve upon. All the credit to - *looks at schedule* - Fordham. They have a strong well coached team.” - Coach Cox (probably)

It shouldn't.... that's afu.

[SGreenwell]

After ragging on the need for Thomas to improve his shooting for the week, it's good to see him hit 3 open shots. Kind of like KingstonLane though, it's not like I'm going to pretend that we suddenly have the solution to our point guard woes - he had three turnovers, only two assists, and only took four shots without getting to the FT line. It would be nice to see him combine this line with the previous game's line, but this is a step in the right direction. On a night that Leggett and Sheppard combined to shoot 2-for-14, I don't know why Thomas wasn't finishing the game out.

[ATPTourFan]

[Billyboy78]

On the radio they said that a URI fan got ejected towards the end of the game. Was Blue man at the game? HAHA

Because he turned the ball over with 2 mins left. Question is why Leggett goes in for him, Leggett either is no good or is in a really bad slump.
