They need to attack the paint and draw fouls like they did against Wagner. Pound it inside, get the buckets or the fouls. Get to NU bench early.
We will try that, as that's our game and our style this year. And if it works, it works, but this isn't Wagner. This is a Big 10 team. I'd be shocked if we could beat a team like Northwestern without needing to hit some jump shots and 3s. My guess is we will shoot 15-20 3s this game, and we can't be at 20%.
House was 4-5 from 3 against Fairfield. Need him to hit some then.

Remember when I said we weren’t going to be able to force it in the paint and needed to hit 3s… We’ve had the looks but haven’t hit them. Oh and anyone that thinks a shooter like Green doesn’t help in games like this is 100% wrong. It’s early let’s wake up!

Weston looks like he's limping out there

We can't even get a shot off...

So far a big smack of reality

Hold on I'm going to adjust my expectations I'll be right back...

About as awful a start as you can imagine

Of course NW decides to play 50 thousand times better than they've played all year and we have zero shooters on the team.

rhodysurf · Unread post by **rhodysurf** » 6 months ago

There is zero spacing on the court

They aren’t playing well, gunna be honest, uri is stinking

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 6 months ago

We're shooting 7% from the field. No outside threat is killing us. Can't get the easy buckets at the hoop like we did in the first 3 games.

Defensively they are

But yeah they don't look like world beaters really

Awful start 16-2 NW U 12 team looks absolutely dreadful

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 months ago

Looks like 5 vs 10 when we are on offense

Can’t wait for halftime so I can grab some fresh air.

RI_Bred · Unread post by **RI_Bred** » 6 months ago

Resorting to chucking up threes now, ugh.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 months ago

We are on pace to score 8 points for the game

rhodysurf · Unread post by **rhodysurf** » 6 months ago

Yeah why was I excited for this game

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 6 months ago

We are 1-15 from the field with probably 5 or 6 shots blocked. Oooph

At least we are rebounding okay.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 6 months ago

Worst URI effor ever?

steveystuds06 · Unread post by **steveystuds06** » 6 months ago

Northwestern doesn’t look good. We look horrendous. It’s not them it’s us.

Backroads · Unread post by **Backroads** » 6 months ago

Awesome

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 months ago

Yes, this may be the worst start to a game in URI history

KevanBoyles · Unread post by **KevanBoyles** » 6 months ago

This is deflating.

gorhody89 · Unread post by **gorhody89** » 6 months ago

One of the worst starts to a basketball game I can remember.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 6 months ago

We get good looks but all misses.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 6 months ago

0 assists, 6 turnovers, 2 points......as bad as it gets......then again, it might get worse.

Our players look completely inadequate

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 6 months ago

These new guys like Fuchs are just not used to this speed or intensity. Buie just nudged him with a shoulder from behind and knocked the ball loose

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 6 months ago

URI is down 22-2 to Northwestern with 752 left in the 1h

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 months ago

Back to the portal this offseason and see if we can start from scratch again

RI_Bred · Unread post by **RI_Bred** » 6 months ago

It's definitely the game speeding up - our guys are just not used to it.

MTK4L · Unread post by **MTK4L** » 6 months ago

Not exactly sure why people got so excited. We have played literally no one. I had no expectations to beat a team like them. I think most of you are in for a long season.

luke · Unread post by **luke** » 6 months ago

Playing scared and without poise . Pathetic.

Rhodyram · Unread post by **Rhodyram** » 6 months ago

At least we got JWU on Wednesday to get rite.

McRam · Unread post by **McRam** » 6 months ago

How many good shots have we taken?

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 6 months ago

finally a basket....then a missed FT

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 6 months ago

Walked into a buzz saw today. We can’t be this bad so not going to over-react. This game is lost but hopefully we play them even or a bit better the balance of the game.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 6 months ago

Did someone say they really couldn’t see Northwestern beating us? Lol. The teams look to be much better than last year, but played absolute garbage for opponents. The goal for this season should be to keep improving and keep the valuable players for next year intact so they can eventually get to an NCAA bid. The record will look good this because the schedule is very weak. They need to come out and play hard in the second half as if it was a tie game.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 months ago

FTs…

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 6 months ago

3 points left at the line

What is wrong with you? You don't say shit about the team or the season until we go down 22-2 and decide to dunk on people for being excited?

Go f**k yourself
