Eh, cabin fever just began. we got a long way to go.

[Rhody15]

He tweets that out after every win, along with a ton of other coaches.

Nothing special about the tweet.

When was the last time Rothstein tweeted out a nice compliment like this one about Archie Miller? Not since Archie has been here. Don't recall anything like this during the Cox 4 year debacle. So back 7 years to Hurley??

It might be common for some HC's and Programs but not common at all for URI for 6 long years.

Sunday was the Biggest win for Archie Miller since coming to URI. That helped get the Rothstein recognition. Could be the 2nd best team we will play this season immediately followed by the highest ranked team we will play in PC at the Dunk.

So I'll gladly acknowledge and savor the Rothstein compliment, enjoy the week following Archie's biggest URI win and head to the Dunk Saturday afternoon for the biggest OOC game of the season.

"Not once since Archie has been here."

He's tweeted it out multiple times this season after we won, as recently as the big game against D3 JWU.

He also did it last season.

Damn, looks like you're wrong yet again.

About Archie???
Wow Rothstein must really mean it!!!
I missed those.
Awesome!
Glad to have been wrong!!!
Even more excited about Saturday Night!!!!

He’s been tweeting that after every single Archie win for years

Ramster, I think he tweeted that about Archie once last season, too. But that said, I will take any positive mention of Archie or Rhody from a national pundit.

Let’s goooooooooooo

ETA: now that I think of it, Archie does look a bit CPA-ish. Does he offer NIL tax advice to players ?

He tweeted that out a couple weeks ago after one of our first three wins.

[KingstonLane]

He has tweeted it all 5 times we won this season.

Like I said lol

Tough look for the almighty ramster saying he’s never posted that about Archie.

[steviep123]

I think Rothstein has his guys and his programs that he does this for. Miller he's had the same line since he was at Dayton. Same for Hurley back to Rhody days (not sure if at Wagner).

[jcru]

Archie and Sean's older brother... I.R.S.

[RhowdyRam02]

I could be wrong, but I don't remember him having a catchphrase for Danny while he was here

[RhowdyRam02]

Yes and no there's nothing special about it.

No, because he does it after every Archie win, so this one specific one isn't special.

Yes, because this program can use every bit of national attention possible, and this does that

Correct. Dan only became a carpenter once he got to UConn.

[Jersey77]

Wow, injuries really impacting the A10 this season.
Hunt was one of the better transfers to the A10, was All-NEC last season.

[Blue Man]

Absolute killer. Just enough to miss the rest of the OOC and come back to steal W's in conference.

Same thing with SLU's Sincere Parker. Broke his foot early and will probably be back in conference play.

I think the same for Sean Bairstow from VCU.
Alston should be back soon for Loyola.
Not sure when center Mahorcic is available for Duquesne.

[reef]

Yeah that’s one thing we have been relatively healthy so far no major injuries, stay healthy boys

[Jdrums#3]

Brutal. Can’t catch a break. Sheesh!

Or, the conference does catch breaks but just the wrong kind ?

[PeterRamTime]

The conferences non-conference record is 57-28 right now.

Finished 109-78 last year (barf) Looks like it's on pace to finish a lot better than that.

[reef]

The conferences non-conference record is 57-28 right now.

Yeah seems like the overall depth of the conference is much improved

Lots of A10 teams in action tonight !

Of the 7 games we are only favored in 2, Duquesne and GM.

Really huge game for Dayton @ SMU

Lose that and you can probably declare their at-large hopes over.

Yep.
When Malachi went down so did their overall chances, too bad.

Yes definitely, how is SMU ? I know nothing about them this season ?

SMU is okay picked to finish in the middle of the AAC.
They are currently 5-2 and did beat West Virginia.
Phelps and Harris are both solid players and have size at CG.

Yeah they probably beat NW with him.

They have SMU, UNLV and Cincinnati left. If they can run the table the rest of the way in the OOC, I think that'll put them in a good spot.

[Dino611]

Looking around the A10 I think i can comfortably say we aren’t worst A10 team looking at Fordham and St. Louis, major yikes on those two teams

[reef]

I’m starting to think the pundits may be right and we fall into that 11-14 range ?

[Jersey77]

As mentioned in the other thread; Dayton, Bonnies, Duquesne, and St. Joe's look like the best teams in the A10, so far.
Probably followed by GW and GM, after that anyone's guess.
Maybe we see a step-up in VCU and Richmond if and when Bairstow and Hunt return.

[SGreenwell]

Kenpom currently has it at:

1 Dayton (56)
2 Duquesne (83)
3 Bonaventure (84)
4 St. Joe's (88)
5 Richmond (90)
6 George Mason (98)
7 VCU (105)
8 Davidson (120)
9 Loyola (121)
10 UMass (142)
11 George Washington (158)
12 URI (190)
13 Fordham (198)
14 St. Louis (206)
15 La Salle (217)

Last year, the range for teams in the final ranking was VCU (60) to URI (255), with only three teams in the Top 100, and six between 101 and 200. So, the conference does seem better so far, through seven to nine games for most teams (roughly 25 to 30 percent of the season). Judging from VCU's slow tumble downward, previous season results are gradually being filtered out for games this year. Teams #2 through #6 are separated by just 15 spots. I'd probably have Joe's and GW a bit higher, VCU and UMass lower.

La Salle (7-2) looks like a prime contender to be this year's 2022-23 Fordham. Their strength of schedule is currently 341, and lost by 9 to Temple and 29 to Duke. Only two of their seven wins are by 10+ points, and they have three wins by a single point. That'll probably revert at some point.

Another non “cartel” transfer waiver.

So people really can’t say only the P6 schools are getting waivers.

It’d be worthwhile if the NCAA explained why players don’t get waivers.

People would still get pissed, but would at least be transparent.

Nice that he got his waiver, but jesus, we're like 25 to 30 percent done with the season already. Towson is already 4-5.

Well, they didn't need him to beat UMass by 10 points Wednesday night.

[Rhody15]

Another mid major waiver.

Tough for the “only the cartel gets waivers approved” crowd here.

[PeterRamTime]

This is getting ridiculous.

I think we offered him in the offseason

Sure would be nice to have a stretch 4 right now

Thanks NCAA

[reef]

Yeah I don’t get how the ncaa decides these waivers

[rambone 78]

I will look at the bright side on this one. At least we will have Green for an entire season.
Now if Hammond lives up to the hype and becomes our next really good PG.....we certainly need one.
And then with a healthy Bilau and more experienced Fuchs, maybe we will have something..
Next year. And maybe even some of these guys shoot FT's better too.
Asking for a lot since this season's going to suck again.

It’s almost impossible to talk about “next year” as a mid major.

It sucks, but that’s kind of the way it is these days.

[Jersey77]

Interesting that the 2 teams that had the most total wins last season VCU (27) and Fordham (25) are both currently tied for the worst record (5-5) along with us and Richmond.

My current top 4:
1. Dayton
2. Bonnies (with a healthy Pride)
3. Duquesne
4. St. Joes

Followed closely by GW and GM.

Agree with that top 4 and expect 1 of those 4 to be the regular season champ without the @ large resume
