11/21 | Kansas State | 7:30PM (FloSports)

[Blue Man]

How many 3’s go 3/4 down and out? Do we lead the country?

Bilau looks rusty. Moving well but Ill advised passes and going into contact when he should t.

[KevanBoyles]

Only four turnovers so far. Which is nice. DiSano just said 6.

[TruePoint]

This poor kid just needs a bucket.

[section(105)]

Freeman may never make a basket in his career again

On radio, DiSano used the phrase ‘ Freeman is small boat in the rapids….’

[Rhody15]

Freeman may never make a basket in his career again

I’ve never seen anything like this to start a season for a player who played at the level he did last year.

[Billyboy78]

Bray has started his URI career 0-15 from the field with zero assists and 5 turnovers.....wow.

[theblueram]

Archie has some work to do. Get on the recruiting trail. We are a looooooooooooooong way before we are good. Better see some 4* recruits soon.

[Jdrums#3]

We need to find some offense. 6 pts total from your starters in 13 minutes ain’t good. C’mon guys!

[RI_Bred]

I really hope Archie can still recruit.

We need the EC type of pioneer.

[ElmCityRhody]

Ouch

[KingstonLane]

Not much to watch here so starting looking into #35 on Kansas state. Never heard of this kid but is 6’10” with legit guard handle

He didn’t start playing basketball till after high school, and spent 2 years at JUCO.

What a find for Kstate

[theblueram]

We don't need pioneers. We have a seasoned coach we pay +$2M a year. We need 4* recruits. Like yesterday.

[Rhodymob05]

Size wise we match up, but they are very athletic and efficient. Smothering Defense.

[Blue Man]

There is legitimately one ref who will call anything on K State.

[PeterRamTime]

They are waaaaaaaay more talented than we are

[PeterRamTime]

There is legitimately one ref who will call anything on K State.

On Flosports it looks like they're just tackling our guys every time they drive it

[ghostofkeaney]

They are waaaaaaaay more talented than we are

I’m embarrassed. We have no scorers. Freeman is broken

[KingstonLane]

Welcome back to your annual kingstonlane complaint hour

Love when refs make games about themselves!!

[Blue Man]

Ish literally looked at the ref and said “no foul!? I got hit.”

Softest most bullshit tech I’ve ever seen. No warning at all.

[theblueram]

Welp thats 20. I'm out. I hope Archie get's some 4* recruits. Cause this is not working. 4* recruits.

[RI_Bred]

Freeman wow. Feel bad for him.

[ElmCityRhody]

[PeterRamTime]

Kinda impressed we are only down 17

Need Bray to hit a shot. I can tell he can be good just doesn't have it yet.

[Jdrums#3]

Hopefully we can D up in the second half. and hold them under the century mark.

[Native]

at the half,

Kansas State 44, URI 27

[Billyboy78]

Bray leads the team in shot attempts with 7. Unfortunately he is 0-7 and now 0-17 for the season. He's now battling the Greek Foul Machine for worst start in URI history.

[gorhody89]

Kansas state looks good and we look like an undersized team that can’t shoot. Atleast the Celtics are good because this rebuild will take some time

[SandorClegane]

I don’t care how many shots it takes… I want freeman to get a bucket tonight. Season resumes next game. Turn this into a practice to get guys in rhythm.

[Rhodymob05]

Will be interesting to see Coaches adjustments. Middle of the paint is open. Get a big in there, we do have the size. Bilau is a house. Shots need to fall, and we need to stop the drive and kick.

[Jdrums#3]

It’s mind boggling to me this start to the season by Bray.

It reminds me of that major league pitcher that suddenly couldn’t throw strikes anymore.

[RamStock]

Let’s be honest. This team stinks. There are always a million excuses like the refs, certain players aren’t healthy or eligible, bad starts or whatever it might be. We have lost home games to Texas State and Quinnipiac at home. We barely beat Stony Brook at home. We can’t shoot at all and Freeman looks to be a complete bust. Archie will get them turned around in a couple years, but similar to Hurley when he started they are at ground zero. It would be nice to have some good shooters again. Hopefully Archie can get the young guys as many minutes as possible which help develop them for the future. I’m not sure how people thought we would win this game after watching the first three against weak competition

[Blue Man]

First half thoughts.

Why can’t we hit shots. Literally why? Wide open, good looks - in and out.

Hutch is impressive. Hit our only 3, has put Johnson on skates and forced some turnovers.

Weston looks the best I’ve seen. Verticality is back. Hustle plays.

I really don’t understand why Bray can’t hit a shot. It’s insane. He’s created some good chances and taken open looks - but can’t find the net.

Carey looks filthy. That step back was TOUGH.

K state is good. Their defense is smothering. Hopefully Archie has something for them at the half.

2 of these refs haven’t called shit on KState. One way whistles. Gave them 4 free points. Took 4 from us.

Gonna be a hell of a story when we come back.

[theblueram]

Because everyone deserves a chance?

Yep. Reality check. Which is fine, for now.

I mean, rational people knew this year would be brutal, .500 at best.

This whole team is young outside of Carey and Martin. It’s a transition year. New system. New guys playing together.

Anyone who’s looking for wins needs to check expectations. Look for improved play. That’s the reality of a rebuild.

I refuse to believe we’re this bad at shooting. That’s literally the difference in this season. Obviously it’s a big one…but we get a ton of open looks. Water will find its level. This team will be completely different come February.

I hope so Blueman, but this team stinks. Not on Archie at all. But I do want to see a higher level of recruit to replace this nightmare.

[Rhodymob05]

I'm a glass half full , of vodka guy. I still think this team will click and be day and night better than this.

You can scheme all you want. If you can’t hit the open shots you’re given it doesn’t matter if Wooden is your coach.

[Jdrums#3]

As bad as things look, There’s some positives: closed the rebounding gap to 21-17 after starting 7-1; only 6 turnovers; solid shooting from the line; Carey and Weston are looking better.

Yup. So let's hope Archie gets the players who can hit em.

Atta boy

[Jdrums#3]

Better 2nd half start. Keep it going, Rhody.

[Rhodymob05]

K States Defense is like VCU on lots of cocaine. Impressive.

[RI_Bred]

Carey typical turnover dribbled right into the defender's hands unreal.

[RhodyRams916]

I am so done with Carey. He is a turnover machine

[Not Mike Powell]

[Rhody15]

He’s been the second best player tonight.

[Billyboy78]

I am so done with Carey. He is a turnover machine

He's also 4-4 from the field with 4 steals.
