Also this Raspberry kid looking for a scholly

Yeah Aireus raspberry has been good for a while. Tough bulldog type point who can really shoot.


Played against him a bunch of times in RI. Was barely recruited to jwu from cranston.

Good kid too. And as someone said earlier he is at the end of his eligibility he is definitely one of the older players on court.

Tip of the cap to the JWU HC, that apparently has toiled at this D3 level for 20 years.

I would say there were about 1,000 asses in the seats, tops. Cool to see Ray Allen there.

Thanks for posting Stevey, appreciate all your effort in doing this.

Way more than that. URI was hoping for 1000 closer to 2k imo

(I’m counting all the kiddos of course )

Maybe, it was quite bare in the endzones and uppers...

That is correct he has been there forever. Very good shooter at one time.

He is a shooting coach for alot of the RI players during the summer regardless of if they are on Jwu or not.

giddy up!

[class of 86]

Well lets see.....Brown beat RIC by 40+ earlier this season and Bryant beat St Thomas college by 107 last year.So naturally pc will be playing either Hendricken or the little sisters of the poor or the Evergreen state gooey ducks soon

Nah, just Wagner and Lehigh.

[Billyboy78]

Not a lot to say. The highlights were Brandon's shooting, Ways' left handed dunk and seeing Ray Allen there. Things ramp up from here.

[Jdrums#3]

Concisely done, 78. And, on that note…

A Happy and blessed Thanksgiving to everyone on KB!

Go Rhody!

I would like to add Bilau's two blocks that led to him pushing the ball up the floor to find House for a three.

New weapon!

Thanks , same to you JD and everyone else.

[ElmCityRhody]

To be honest more here than I thought

Glad we have enough press area to cover this game like we are the Beatles playing at shea

Sorry thorr but you couldn’t be more wrong on this one

[ElmCityRhody]

Can you imagine being on the uri bench and having to look at that massive area of black bullshit that sticks out like a sore thumb for the “press”… my goodness that’s so Cracker Jack

And they gotta make it black to make it even more of a sore thumb

Put the students in 104, put displaced season ticket holders, visitors comps etc in the black hole? So simple? Probably, Happy Thanksgiving Day all. Go Rhody

[rhodylaw]

I really can’t think of another arena I have been to that dedicates that kind of space to the press.

[hrstrat57]

The stupid stuff we do (or stuff we don’t do) is maddening

Some of it is bizarre.

Yes, cause lack of seating for fans was a big issue yesterday

Agreed. For the laundry list of things that negatively affect the gameday experience here:

WiFi, replays, concessions, Yorke, etc… I think I can count on 2 hands the amount of non-PC sellouts at the Ryan center. The press area seating is a nothingburger.

I don’t think any player has sat on the bench and said “man this 1/2 empty building is great, but why is there a black curtain across from me”

[ElmCityRhody]

The point is that no one does that … except … URI

Also this Raspberry kid looking for a scholly

Sadly he’s a 23yo grad student.

There's probably not a lot of sad around his life...just a guess

Lack of seating at J&W is not the issue ECR is referring to. When BlueMan posted the pic to show the attendance for J&W my first thought was look at that ugly press area. Nobody else does that.
There are only 7, maybe 8, press in the seating/tables - about 30% capacity). The black curtain is hideous even partly open at the right corner. Front row of seats has coats draped over the black curtain. Looks trashy.

Ryan wasn't designed originally for this. Somebody's awful idea to remove prime seats, closest to court and make 2 press rows with tables.

Just extend the existing front row press row that Steve and Chris are reporting the game from (Steve and Don used to be on the player bench side) the length of the court. Trash the hideous black curtain and put the seats back as original design to fill the gap and make the seats symmetrical.

It's an ugly black hole that is not necessary.

Simple, easy, little or no cost since the old seats still exist in storage.

Doesn't have to be either/or. Fix the black curtain hole, fix the Ry-Fi, fix the Phone Connection issue, improve food quality and reduce food cost.

Improve fan experience.

ECR is tight. It's ugly.
