wow.

Why is everyone all butt hurt over this loss?

I thought it was a meaningless game, no?

Unrelated question (maybe)...what level suck is this? Like, how far back do you have to go?

but...is this year really any better?

[rambone 78]

Shaping up to be a historically bad season.

Problem is, I have NO confidence that next year will be any better.

[section(105)]

No excuse for this. Archie, who makes more than the whole UNH staff, was out coached by Nathan Davis.

From far left field, maybe we should become a hockey school, to get better basketball players?

[Billyboy78]

I don't know if David Green has been discussed, but from what I saw, he's not playing basketball any time soon. I was in my seat at 5:10 when the team came out for shootaround. It took Green a few minutes to get from the area coming out of the locker room to the bench. He can barely walk.

[RF1]

Not with most of these players. they do not possess A-10 decent D1 level talent. Archie and his staff have done an incredibly bad job recruiting and putting together a roster.

[Billyboy78]

We even got Rothsteined tonight.

[Taylor Swift]

Shaping up to be a historically bad season.

I don’t see any hype around recruits anymore. Absolutely an epic disaster of putting a roster together. The university and its facilities are fantastic. There is a major breakdown here.

[theblueram]

The most exciting part of tonight was the guy who almost got a strike bowling across court for $5K.

[Rhody15]

Not at all.

Three of those players stink/aren’t scoring threats, shouldn’t expect many points from them.

That's because he had it scoped after they denied his waiver request, and now they're trying to "maybe" Aaron Rodgers him back to the squad. (Complete conjecture on my part, but feel free to run with it)

[Taylor Swift]

The chance to win bowling will probably be the only way to get people in seats the rest of the season.

Why are they playing 25% of the minutes then?

[ElmCityRhody]

Wtf!? Did you not even have some crudités or chips and dip!? Kind of pathetic to be at that donor level and not get a morsel.

The wife and I bought some terrible hot dogs at the concession. All in all, just a wonderful night at the RC.

How emBARONsing.

This team is unARCHable !

[spookydog]

It would have been fantastic if he got the strike & was disqualified because his foot went over the line. That would have been exciting.

I figure between that, and $10 into the 50/50 drawing...you stand a good chance of covering your ticket price.

[SmartyBarrett]

Last year was the worst offensive team I’ve seen in years
This year is the worst defensive team I’ve seen in years

Worst defense since Baron's final year, per KenPom... and it's alarmingly close. One or two more bad showings and it could dip below that.

So, so, so just asking, Question for Archie, why are they here and getting those minutes?

Fuchs and Bilau out.

Rory and Brown would play minimal minutes with both of them 100% healthy

I'm thinking there are magnets on that plastic to hold the pins down. This needs to be investigated. That guy laid a strike right down the middle.

It’s the same with the dice from last year that were weighted so the 7s wouldn’t hit.

All these games are rigged, and all the trivia answers are given to the people before it’s asked.

Haven’t seen one wrong trivia answer in 15+ years.

They place the pins on a plastic triangle. With spots for each pin.

I think they're lined up so it's impossible for all 10 to fall. It's kind of like going to a carnival. The expensive prizes are unwinnable.

Still...a more intriguing story than URI vs UNH

I'm glad I could divert everyone's attention away from the fact our team sucks.

[rambone 78]

Agree about the recruiting.

Bereft of talent.

Has it become that hard to bring in decent talent to this program?

[DevRam]

Hahaha, that was my buddy that went up bowling. He drilled those pins right up the middle… He said he would have given me 1k for bringing him if he won. I got no money and we lost. Bad day

Let me help. The Dark Ages of URI Basketball was Gerry Duh’s two year stint. But Mr Duh beat Brown (they actually didn’t play the other yr he was here forgot why). Duh beat Yale twice and Mr Duh beat Northeastern our next opponent twice in the Dark Ages! Now Archie it’s time for a sense of urgency this shit is going viral bad quickly!!!

Get your freaking head out of your arse Archie!!!!

GO RHODY!

[Rhody22]

So, we came to Rhody and bought season tix only to see EC get hurt in the first game where we were season ticket holders. . We've been ticketholders since then, but can't recall the program ever being in worse shape. Doubled our season ticket holding this year...may be the worst investment ever. This is the absolute bottom, right?

Feel bad for you. I had 4 tix but cut back to 2 this year after so many years of futility. Can’t get anyone to go with me either!

It did for a few minutes. Thanks! Then I saw Archie's comments about the game and how bad we suck.

k, just wanted to confirm that this is the program's lowest point since sometime before EC went down. Looks like a 'yes.'

[Rhodymob05]

Why do low-major teams have much better players than us?

This is a great question and has me really concerned about recruiting capability by this current URI staff. Miller pumped them up, but man our guys are just NOT THAT GOOD!

Our transfers are from low-major programs.

[steveystuds06]

Agree about the recruiting.

Bereft of talent.

Has it become that hard to bring in decent talent to this program?

I mean, our freshman big man just dropped 12 and 10 in 16 minutes. Our freshman guard just won A10 Freshman of the Week. Zek dropped 18. House and Luis have proven they can play.. Bilau and Fuchs are good bigs, in my opinion. I think he did recruit some decent players. I think under a better coach, we don't lose to teams like Brown and New Hampshire at home. Getting the best out of these players and figuring out how to utilize them is where he's seriously lacking. After Fou dominated in the first half, we should have started him and fed him in the post or elbow and see if he could stay hot. Instead, he returned to the same old thing, and New Hampshire's lead grew and grew.

Archie says all the right things and sounds incredibly smart when breaking down our team and our opponents, but there is a disconnect between the players. I posted earlier in the second half that Archie was yelling at House. House looked pissed, and after that conversation, House seemed not to give a shit. Like House, I fear that many guys are checked out... There are murmurs regarding the entire staff's struggle to connect and effectively coach the team. Losing makes this worse but morale is at an all time low..

I still prefer this over the Mitchell twins thinking they’re Durant/dribbling coast to coast/shooting 3s/getting a T every other game

[rambone 78]

Jerry had talent left over from Harrick, of course he totally sucked as a coach. With any competent coach they would have won with that talent.

Now we have very little talent and a coach who has been a complete flop.

Just awesome!

Oh, ok, so it's a cluster now, got it.
ETA:
And you just lost to New Hampshire. At home. By double digits. Morale should be at an all time low.

[Billyboy78]

If a player quits playing hard because a coach yells at him, sorry, that's on the player, not the coach. Archie hasn't lost his knowledge of the game. He knows what his players have to do and he's coaching them to do it. They're just not doing it. If House or any other player is quitting on the team because Archie yells at him, he should transfer again. Find kids with better attitudes.

[rhodyrudder]

It’s close…
The tickets were a lot less expensive then.
