It wasn't perfect obviously, but lots to like about the effort and energy out there in the first half. Hopefully we can put together a complete game and close this one out.

[Rhodymob05]

NE is scrappy and work their ass off, wicked annoying.

[PeterRamTime]

Lmao whether he’s playing at the 4 or 5 Fuchs playing as much as he does will always bewilder me.

Fuchs has played better than Tyson by a mile. You’re not seeing him objectively at this point lol

Fou should be ahead of both of them.

[RhowdyRam02]

There's a lot of Fatts Russell in Jaden House's game. Good and bad

[bigappleram]

David Green is our most impt player. Maybe not most talented. But most important.

[DeanDome88]

The Rhody step back 3's have been brutal today. Almost all have been bad shots.

[jcru]

David Green is our most impt player. Maybe not most talented. But most important.

Agreed. Green is the Glue.

[jcru]

Bang

[rhodysurf]

Green is quite clearly the best player on the floor offensively

[PeterRamTime]

Now if we can just play our two best centers we are cookin with gas!

[jcru]

Green isn't the most talented player ever, but there is something to be said about experience, and he has a ton of it.

Not to mention he's an outside threat.

[Blue Man]

Great commercial reminder - best family arena atmosphere in Rhode Island! No WiFi to distract your kids, long lines to prevent your kids from eating bad food, no replays in case something naughty happens on the court, no mean words from fans! What an experience!!

[Blue Man]

There's a lot of Fatts Russell in Jaden House's game. Good and bad

Yeah he needs to shoot FTs like Fatts did

[damram]

Worst performance by a mob boy ever. He just got reamed out by the marketing director.

[jcru]

I feel like, when Green is in there, everyone plays with more discipline. No one goes rouge and plays hero ball.

He's the on the floor coach.

[adam914]

Brown is lucky he didn't get a T after that block! (but I love it anyway)

[Blue Man]

I feel like this whole team is playing with different energy.

I’m not sure if it’s David Green, Archie changes, or the break..but this should be renewing some hope for conference play.

[rhodyram22]

Ok yeah, I get the Green hype now.

[jcru]

That sweeping drive by Green. He covers so much area from the wing in so short of time.

[bigappleram]

I feel like this whole team is playing with different energy.

I’m not sure if it’s David Green, Archie changes, or the break..but this should be renewing some hope for conference play.

It’s Green. His versatility, skill set and presence were all sorely needed.

More Foumena and Fuchs at the 5 less Brown. But happy with everything else from Arch today.

[JFrech21]

It’s the return of Fuchs.

[jcru]

And with his left hand, to boot

[JFrech21]

One gripe I have is last year everyone KILLING Bassy all year, saying he’s a D3 college player. Why don’t I hear anything about Wright? Tell me something Wright does well?

[bigappleram]

And with his left hand, to boot

If you’re talking about Green he’s left handed

[jcru]

And with his left hand, to boot

If you’re talking about Green he’s left handed

Yeah, that's what I meant. So hard to defend that attack to the basket

[PeterRamTime]

Glad Archie isn't calling a timeout to slow down this NE run

Wouldn't want to stop their momentum or anything!

[rhodyram22]

Bassy is better than Wright

[jcru]

Right?

40 mins, guys. Not 31 mins.

[DeanDome88]

You miss fans of the program ridiculing our players?

[rhodyram22]

Ummm, this commentator is saying “Filau”….

[jcru]

Kortright wants this one

I thought the ridiculing last year was uncalled for, I am questioning why we replaced Bassy for Wright and figured I was the only one because no one has said a negative thing about Wright on this board.

[jcru]

yes, we get that. but are you saying that you would like people to start saying negative things about Always?

[jcru]

Luis with 12

[rhodyram22]

LUIS AND GREEN.

[jcru]

Swirly McCurley by Green , Rams up 10

[JFrech21]

yes, we get that. but are you saying that you would like people to start saying negative things about Always?

Saying negative things is different from ridiculing. I don’t need people to say Wright isn’t a D1 player, but saying some negative things is fine for a message board. A couple people on here have no problem saying negative things about Fuchs (a true freshman who is a double double machine). Just looking for some consistency.

[DeanDome88]

Fuchs had a decent game today against weak competition. I hope he keeps it up in conference play.

[LoveThoseRams]

Why no Weston?

[adam914]

We really needed that one (obviously)! New season starts now with conference play. Something to build on at least!

[jcru]

Maybe people have seen the climate change with the NCAA and they are less likely to criticize players these days, knowing full well they can leave whenever they want. Bassy included in that. Sometimes it's timing.

Maybe people are so punch drunk from losing that criticizing players is low on the priority list.

[RIFan]

Much better effort and results! Let’s keep it going!

[SGreenwell]

Seems like a weird time to bring it up, with URI on the verge of its first win in what feels like 57 years. FWIW, I don't think Wright has really shown much this year, but neither had Thomas in his two years at URI. It was defensible to "churn" that spot on the roster a bit, and it wouldn't surprise me if Wright transferred down after this season as well. Thomas always attracted more attention - positive and negative - because of his status as a Rhode Island high school prospect at URI. Albany seems like a much better fit for him.

[jcru]

In any case, this was a good win. Hopefully the start of something. Green the catalyst

Agreed. I felt like from the start, that if Wright played like gangbusters, that he would probably end up transferring closer to home. Maybe the opposite is true. Or maybe he'll end up staying and just get better. All the options are wide open in this new NCAA.

[rjv]

Good win. Need to build on it.
Where was Weston? Is he hurt?

[SGreenwell]

Northeastern obviously isn't a great team, but it's good to get a W against anyone at this point. I suspect that the lineup out there to finish - Estevez, Montgomery, House, Green and Fuchs - is what we go with going forward, with Kortright first off the bench. Those six were the only guys to play 20+ minutes today.

[jcru]

Is it weird that I didn't notice Weston missing until someone just mentioned it 5 mins ago?

[KevanBoyles]

Estevez should be in the starting lineup going forward. Played really well.

The timing was because he started both halves of this game today and finished with 0 points and 1 assist.
