Dayton lost Saturday at George Washington

George Washington was picked 12th Preseason, URI picked 9th

1st Year Coach Chris Caputo has GW off to 4-2 so far in A10

Hardly see writing off the game at URI when GW just beat Dayton

You just don’t understand just how bad we are huh? Or even want to admit it?


Preseason poll means literally nothing.
Loyola was picked 4th and is currently in last.

We just got abused by Odoro, who is worse than Holmes.

Camera is a senior, two year SEC starter and has been great in the A10.

Holmes and Camera are going to ABUSE Samb and Tickou.

But continue living in your fantasy world.

Ok Rhody 15, Since you say:
- I don’t understand how bad Rhody is
- URI got abused by Oduro who is worse than Holmes
- Camera is a senior, 2 year starter in SEC and been great in the A10
- Holmes and Camera are going to abuse Samb and Tickou (sp)
- I’m living in a fantasy world
- Others say we lose by 10-15, we lose by 30, Cameran And Holmes go off for 50 points

I’m going to take Dayton based on you being so smart. I rarely bet against URI, if anything I don’t bet URI if I don’t like the game, but you say URI is soooooooo bad I’m going with Dayton!,

I’ll use winnings to cover my annual ESPN+ and FloSports subscriptions and then some.

Dayton -8.5 is nothing base on your statements. Easy money.

Go Flyers!!

Gonna probably be a bad crowd tomorrow. Weather looks miserable from like 5PM on

I predict an announced attendance of WAY more than actual bodies in seats.

Actual bodies in seats is meaningless. Revenue comes from tickets sold. The calculations of announced attendance are well documented.

URI is a flaming train wreck. Last place in overall winning % in the conference. 6-13. (2-5) Lost 3 straight. 340th in Fg% and 326 in 3pt%. 286 in scoring margin. If we play down to their level we should disband.

I would say it means something to most players. When you have a packed arena with fans in the seats it generates a home advantage and fires up the players. If you want to talk strictly revenue wise that is a decent different story.

Dayton -7.5 ??

Sounds about right, I think that might be a bit on the high side, maybe ends up 6.5 or 7?

Now seeing Rhody +8.5

I just saw 9

I love Mason +8 tomorrow @ VCU

Interestingly Reef, Lunardi now has VCU as the AQ from the A10.
VCU has won 5 straight
St Louis has also won 5 straight
VCU and St Louis lead the A10 both at 6-1
Dayton 5-2
George Washington 4-2

8 does seem like a lot for Mason but I’m wondering if the VCU train is gaining steam

[hrstrat57]

Sadly I fear any chance of a good crowd is gone with the monsoon/ hurricane like forecast.

Hope I’m wrong…

Definitely. But players shouldn’t just expect that. They control outcomes, and losing games doesn’t put butts in seats.

Now skill wise they’re overmatched vs certain teams for sure. But they’ve been their own worst enemies in 5+ games this year

Unfortunately not going to make the game tonight due to weather.

i have 2 tix in section 205 row K at half court. Hate to see them go to waste. If anyone wants them free of charge, please direct message me. Have the tix in my Iphone wallet. Have never transferred them before, but i'm sure there is a way.

Update---I have a taker.

[RhodyRams916]

Anyone else feeling the “fear of missing out”? I wanna go tonight and see if by a very small chance URI wins, but also the rain is gonna make for some awful driving conditions.

It's just rain. Give yourself some extra time, and wear a good raincoat for the hike in from the parking lot!

[Jdrums#3]

I wonder how much time Smith and Elvis get tonight and if it’s better or worse for us if they get more minutes than their last game (21 and 8 respectively) ?

[Jersey77]

Last game Smith in 21 minutes had 12 pts (3-5/ 5-5 FT) and 3 assists.
Elvis played 13 minutes scored 8 pts (2-3, 3PT).

Regardless of how much they play, Dayton will have plenty of quality depth.

Yes mom, love this! Some rain, and few people freakin out. It is New England folks! Wonder if Archie’s attendance bonus clause says only if it doesn’t rain/snow…….you guys crack me up with this stuff.

Ever considered that it's hard for some people to drive in torrential rain, especially at night?

[ramster]

Last 2 games we have lost both by 7 points

Vs Richmond we fell behind 9-0 then lost by 7

Vs George Mason we fell behind by 8-0 then lost by 7

So take away the bad starts for both games and we outscored both opponents

Starting line up was the same for both games
Tchikou
Martin
Leggett
Freeman
Carey

So how does Archie fix these bad starts?

He changed out some starters last game for the 2nd half

Maybe a different starting line up tonight?

Hopefully, we can force a lot of turnovers (while not turning it over ourselves) tonight. Oh yea, and score off the turnovers we force.

I think that can keep us within 10 points despite their depth and obvious front court advantage.

Or, maybe we have the time keeper start the 1st half game clock with 15 minutes left.

But seriously, maybe start Weston in place of Martin or start two bigs. At the end of the day however, I don’t think lineup tinkering will matter tonight unless we play one of our better games of the season and Dayton plays sub-par.

[Rhody72]

URI's MBB team's competition for fans tonight is WBB team game on ESPN+ at 7pm. Do I want to go out in a monsoon to watch a bad MBB team get abused by Dayton OR tape the game in case it is a classic upset while I watch a good URI WBB team play George Mason in the warm dry comfort of my place? Sanity or Insanity?

[PeterRamTime]

I will be pretty surprised if Holmes and Camara don't give our frontcourt PTSD

Watch their guards suddenly come back into form too and we get killed.

But hey maybe Archie can work some former coach voodoo on them and things get weird

[damram]

Start Weston over Carey.

[steveystuds06]

Not looking forward to this one. They are a horrible matchup. Horrible…


I hope we see Weston continue to breakout, Rory hits 2 3s, Tchikou stays out of foul trouble, We keep it under 10..

I expect a loss. I hope I’m wrong

You can watch both at the same time if you have two devices to log into/watch from.

[steveystuds06]

I don’t really care if he starts I just want him playing a lot of minutes.

Remember when you said EC Matthews didn’t make an impact on Dans NCAA tournament teams?

Good measuring stick game for the team as a whole and for individual players. Therefore, I have much interest in this game even though, I too, expect a loss.

[ramster]

Richmond we went down 9-0, followed by GMU going down 8-0 that’s 17-0 in the last two games which we lost both by a combined 14 points.
So both games were lost in the first 3-4 minutes of each game by the starting line up.
Nothing to lose to shake things up

You can go to the game and watch WBB ESPN+ on your phone, provided the Wi-Fi is ok tonight. Hit and miss on the Wi-Fi typically

George Washington not only didn’t get abused, they beat Dayton. It’s possible.

[Rhody72]

Remember when you said EC Matthews didn’t make an impact on Dans NCAA tournament teams?

Post-injury EC was unable to attain the NBA potential he showed as a sophomore. He was still a significant contributor. I don't recall him making the all A10 first or second team.

[Rhody72]

When I watch a game I need to focus and I don't enjoy jumping back and forth between two games.

You must not do well in sports bars where there can be a dozen different games on the screens

I’ll not be there tonight

[RhowdyRam02]

200 level of the student section mostly full already due to the announcing of Greek week pairings after the game

[spookydog]

0 beers purchased from writeup.

Yeah Weston is a basketball player who can make shots

If he can just be a consistent 3 point threat it would be great

[theblueram]

We opted to stay home. Weather forecast said big snow and then massive rain. When a few flurries came in I said good call. It's gametime and not a flurry or a drop of rain

[RhodyRams916]

lol, why does Malik keep starting? He’s an awful shooter. A liability on offense. Teams leave him wide open for threes and he misses them.

[Big Rhody Guy]

Going to be a long night it looks like.

[RhodyRams916]

Going to be a long night it looks like.

Tchikou is terrible. 2 missed layups. I can’t believe people think an almost 21 year old is going to be a difference maker in a year.

[reef]

Awful start just awful

12-4 UD

[theblueram]

Getting boated 5 minutes in.

[RhodyRams916]

Lol we suck

[RI_Bred]

If it makes anyone feel better, UConn is getting trucked by Xavier at the half.

22-11. UD 956

Rhody got to within 6 then UD 6-0 run
