Ah yes, we blow a lead and blame the refs.

A tale as old as time.

You thought that was a foul?

100% not a foul. It was a terrible call.

[reef]

We trail 38-29

Ish has 18 Free has 7

10 turnovers to 4

[Billyboy78]

If Ish keeps playing this well, he'll probably be playing somewhere else next year. That's the problem with the new transfer rules.

[Jdrums#3]

We really need other players to step up offensively. Can’t expect Ish to keep up this scoring pace in the 2nd half.

Bray gave us a good bump. Need him and others to do more.

And, get the damn turnovers under control.

[SandorClegane]

If I’m Archie, I’m starting the 2nd half with Ish and some new faces. Where would we be without Ish this game??

Freeman, Weston, Ish, Bilau and…maybe Samb since he’s probably earned it in the first few games.

[theblueram]

Ah yes, we blow a lead and blame the refs.

A tale as old as time.

You thought that was a foul?

Might’ve been, might not have been.

Two of our players were swiping at the ball for about 3 seconds. Wouldn’t be shocked if they slapped or hit an arm.

Not an egregious call by any means.

The ball was in the air

[Blue Man]

Lmao he played through David cox and stayed. He’s the emerging star and leader on this team and will be a statue of this programs reemergence like EC was.

He loves it here.

It must suck to be this negative.

Just the reality of college basketball in 2022. Better opportunity to get a pro career somewhere else, can't blame someone if they take it.

[Jdrums#3]

Really need to buck up on D this half if we are going to pull this game out.

Why would Ish play his ass off when we aren't good and then bail when we are good? If he was going to leave, it would have been this year.

[Blue Man]

As for the first half. We’re outnumbered by Tulane fans but they’re lame and I’m potentially going to have a stroke by the under 12.

Ish. Welcome the fuck back.

Bray is finding his shot which is huge. He’s adjusting to being a big piece in a system and not a 4th option with no structure. He’s going to get there.

Tough/bullshit calls to end the half. Bullshit push off on Malik based on what they’ve let go.

Carey is hurt which is tough. I really like what Archie is doing with the lineups. Malik is struggling on offense, but we’re low on options without Carey.

Lou getting the start was awesome. Hasn’t been able to get open - but offense is flowing through the hot hands which I like.

Game should be 1-2 possessions closer, but we’re right there. We’re a better second half team. Lock the fuck in. Go Rhody.

[PeterRamTime]

Wanna see Weston get involved offensively.

Just one more offensive threat and we take this to the wire.

They could also call a single foul on them.

[theblueram]

Passing is really crisp.

[rhodyrudder]

The cox t/o is back

[PeterRamTime]

The cox t/o is back

Probably gonna put Freeman in

[theblueram]

The cox t/o is back

I don't think so. I think they come out full court press.

[Blue Man]

Ball movement is great. Tulane hitting big shots. Refs being shitheads. Ish deserved an and1.

Tchikou was icing his knee all day so I’d expect we’re not going to see him.

Samb hitting a 15 footer is really nice to see.

[rhodyrudder]

The cox t/o is back

I don't think so. I think they come out full court press.

Obviously theres a reason
But i cOuldnt resist

He didn't play well last year. He didn't have the opportunity to move up. I'm just saying that if he plays great this year and is an 1st team A10 player and Maryland comes calling, he wouldn't consider that opportunity to play close to home at a P5 school? I hope I'm wrong, but teams like us are the minor leagues for the P5s. That's the reality these days.

[PeterRamTime]

Ish is blowing my mind right now

Who knows, you might be right, you might not.

But why the hell are you even posting that during the first half of the 5th game of the season?

It serves no purpose, and is just stupid.

Just because he's playing lights out today.

[KingstonLane]

Thomas just can’t play at this level. It pains me to say this over and over again. Feel like I come off as I have a vendetta against the kid or soemtbing

[PeterRamTime]

Five fouls on us already

Zero on Tulane

I tell ya what I applaud Tulane's squeaky clean brand of basketball.

Truly a marvel.

[Rhody15]

Thomas just can’t play at this level. It pains me to say this over and over again. Feel like I come off as I have a vendetta against the kid or soemtbing

These two games against legitimate opponents have overwhelmed him.

Freeman will be starting over him soon enough.

However, he’s an ideal piece of the bench to push the pace of the game.

At best, but needs the right lineup even so. Feel like half the time when he’s on the floor it’s a bunch of people staring at eachother on who wants to the guy to shoot

[Blue Man]

Malik off the floor sparked that run.

[PeterRamTime]

Shitttttt

[PeteRI]

Wow that's the worst turnover of the year.

[Jdrums#3]

Gotta D up. We are not going to out offense these guys.

[PeteRI]

Sweeeet Bray

[PeterRamTime]

Bray Freeman is really good yall

Yep.

[theblueram]

This team is going to break through at some point.

[Jdrums#3]

I would like Bassy coming off the bench and playing with multiple reliable scorers around him.

[jcru]

We need Swish back in there.

[PeterRamTime]

HOLY BILAU

[Native]

With 10:15 remaining, Tulane calls a timeout

Tulane 56, URI 53

[KingstonLane]

Basketball is a game of runs.

But this game has been a game of RUNS

[Jdrums#3]

More stops! Let’s gooooooo

[steveystuds06]

Welcome to Rhody Bilau!!!!

[theblueram]

That pass out to Weston was great.

[rhodyblue12]

I'm actually really upset that I cannot watch this game.

[jcru]

I think I see a starting rotation taking shape here

[PeterRamTime]

I'm actually really upset that I cannot watch this game.

$12.50!

[Native]

With 7:40 remaining,

Tulane 60, URI 57

[steveystuds06]

Win or lose this was a ton of fun

[Blue Man]

Welcome to Rhode Island Brayon Freeman.

[theblueram]

Looks like the system is starting to work. The offense looks crisp. When they know the system and don't think about it, scoring will follow.

[Jdrums#3]

Come on, guys! D up!!!
