[kal-65]

watching rhody teams have figured how to get open 3's versus our d

the name now is RHO-E ISLAN- --- NO D

[rhodysurf]

Leaving dae dae grant open at all was just stupid. House was sagging off him all game.

The defense is terrible. The offense is fine. This team will only win games when they outperform the other teams offense and will give no resistance toward making that happen

[RI_Bred]

I hit the 50/50 at the game today. Greatest game of the year!

[rhodyram22]

Considering his salary, he hasn't been good enough in his 2nd year. The excuses need to end.

Puh-leeeze. Only about 7% of his pay comes from state funds. Janitors collect more state dollars.

thank you! it's this channel 12 bullshit narrative which hurts URI getting funding.

Once again, that’s not why I brought up his salary. I don’t give a shit what % of his pay comes from state funds.

[PeterRamTime]

It just looks like we dont have the quickness on the perimeter to execute this defense. Maybe they can be better, but I think every single team we have played has quicker guards than we do. Can't keep anyone in front of us and can't recover fast enough to defend the three.

Either Archie continues to run it and people run up the score on us or we need to switch it up. It may be this group can't play any defense though. Idk.

The program is exactly where it was with Cox one and a half years into Arch. Apathy with zero momentum for the future.

[Rhody15]

Packed house.

Multiple school and team groups there today.

National TV.

Get blown out.

If you want people to come to games, cannot have a day like today.

You’re right.

Cox had us 23-8 and on the bubble during the covid season.

Had 3 future NBA players on a team at one point.

We’re worse than that.

Fantastic!! We keep trying!!

Good for you congratulations - especially hitting it on a good attendance day!

[Rhodymob05]

that was the play Archie drew up during the timeout? A fucking Foumena airball 3?

With 8 seconds to go, no less

I don't think Foumena is ever the first option, he's just always open because the defense sags on him. Hes supposed to hand it off to a guard coming off a screen, or look to the low post. He just made the wrong decision.

I think it is probably wishful thinking at this point that this team will change much and play better D. 2/3 of the season is now in the books and it is pretty clear that this team is not capable of any semblance of good defense. This deficiency will keep it from beating many more teams. Anyone expecting more than a few wins (2-4 including the tournament) from here on out for these guys will most likely be very disappointed.

Kid has to have more shot attempts than passes this year.

I’m half kidding but wouldn’t be shocked if that’s true.

I said to my wife as we were leaving, we won't see a crowd like this again this year.

The players coming out for shoot around before the second half - their body language was just awful. I really am starting to not like Kortwright at the point. Sluggish and apathetic. I know we don't have much of a choice right now. Maybe it's just me but the lack of desire out there is palpable in real time. Coaches trying to coach the players up during timeouts or on the bench and it just looks like the players could not care less.

Also thought Miller again did not coach well - the plays coming out of timeouts were questionable at best. I can't imagine he has lost his ability to call plays and coach, but maybe he can't get the emotional buy-in from these guys. Kind of at a loss for words.

[RI_Bred]

[NYGFan_Section208]

Hey guys! Just wait out the year!

Don't overreact or anything! Don't even hint that the sky is falling!

I mean….this product stinks to watch. There’s no denying that, or sugarcoating it. Still, we are clearly better than last year in just about every conceivable way. Any hope we had of arriving ahead of schedule I think can be forgotten at this point, but I don’t think we are behind schedule either. For as long as we continue to move in the right direction, however modestly, I don’t think we can say the sky is falling. Next year will be an important year - we cannot backslide from here, we have to get better and at some point hope something clicks and we make a leap.

TP, I think we certainly are better offensively than last year. However, I don’t see it on D. That is my Birds Eye view.

But, I haven’t done a deep dive in our D analytics last year versus this year nor have I studied tape on both.

I think there is sufficient length and athleticism currently to be better than they are. I think the problem on D is between the ears for this team.

I'd like to suggest you check out last year's d by binge-watching all those games in a single weekend to compare to this year.
And, if you don't fall into a coma, I will ship you (shipping on me even) a David Cox bobblehead.

[NYGFan_Section208]

I was last at the RC for the UMASS game. Where did that team go?

Honestly, I think teams weren't aware of David Green. They watched a lot of game tapes of us without him. Once teams started to double him and focus on him more, we went back to looking like a poorly coached bottom-tier A10 team. Green is still very good, but teams know how to defend us now. We also shot out our minds all game against Umass. Guys were hitting 3s with Umass right in their faces. That's never going to last. And this idea that we can make a massive jump next year. How? Are we going to land a couple of All A10 level players? Because if you bring back most of this roster, we will improve but we will still be increidbly far away from an NCAA bid and likely not that close to an NIT bid.

Let's see if we can make a push and come back. Getting it back to 10 was step one but we will need to defend if we have any chance. Let's pull another Yale and pull it out.

That raises a pretty good question. Let's say all the guys come back and have "another year of experience"
...and this Duquesne team was frozen in a time warp for a year, so they have the exact same team/experience level they did today.
Do we think that this Rhody team, with a year of development, beats the frozen in time Duquesne team we saw today?

[NYGFan_Section208]

Think about this fact for a bit - URI has four losses at home in the Ryan Center thus far this season. Those defeats were against Brown, New Hampshire, Fordham, and Duquesne. We are very much a bottom tier program these days when we cannot beat ANY of these teams at home.

FIFY

[Billyboy78]

Was Always hurt today, a DNP. Not a difference maker but just wondering.

He was in uniform but was standing at half court with Bilau while the team warmed up. So, he's dealing with something. And Rory wasn't even there. Where is he?

I think Luis is banged up. He looks much slower out there ever since that knee and ankle injury. A fast defensive guard like Hammond will be a breath of fresh air next season, although he'll have issues with the stronger guards.

Archie says all the right things and clearly understands the game incredibly well. The way he talks about opponents and our team is always impressive. But I'm getting sick and tired of his "I've never coached a team that's this bad defensively". You built this team! How do you not recruit one perimeter defender on this team? I don't care if the dude is terrible on the offensive end sometimes you need someone to slow down the other teams best player like Dae Dae.. For example, the Lakers have a player in Jarred Vanderbilt who's a very weak offensive player, but he prevents guys like Luka, Steph, and Kawhi from going off... This team has no defensive players and the worst defenders in the league and country.

Archie lost our best defender in Ish. Archie lost a backup guard in Bassy, who is averaging close to 20 a game and replaced him with Always Wright, who looks like a D2 player. Archie and the staff are supposed to develop these players. Archie and the staff are supposed to find the best way to mask our weak defense. I'm happy he's added some zone defense and a very soft full-court press today, but we are deep into the season. We should have done these things during the preseason so we had time to gain chemistry and get better. Instead, like a month ago, Archie tells us, "We don't press here".. That's a David Cox type of answer. Embarrassing..

Archie has had some fantastic moments this year, and when our team was at its best, we looked like a top-4 A10 team. But we seem to be regressing again. I don't care what year you're in. If you have a good coach, your players and team should improve. People have mentioned that Dan didn't have a strong year 2.. Don't forget that in Dan's second year, we went 3-1 in the final four A10 games, and in many of the games before, we played teams close for the most part. Also, Dan played in a much, much tougher A10. The A10 had 6 bids that year! Imagine this team playing against those teams? We may have only won 2-3 games..

This sucks..

[DeanDome88]

Duquesne was physical and shot very well from 3. I doubt they shoot that well in their dreams. Officials with a few head scratching calls. Ryan Center got LOUD there for a moment in the second half and Dubront called time out and stopped the mini rally. I do not think Always would have helped in this physical game. A few signs of life from Zek. Foumena getting burnt for those lob dunks because he lacks a feel for playing defense so often confused as to what he should be doing on that end. I do not know why the coaching staff can't coach these guys up he was in the program all last year. but still looks like a true freshman.

It's easy to shoot 3s when nobody is guarding you. A 35% shooter probably shoots at least 50% when he gets wide open looks. We're making offenses look a lot better than they are.

When it comes to our investment in our program, it's better. We also have a few key freshmen that we can hopefully build around. But the product on the floor I completely agree. We look like a poorly coached team, or if you want to blame it on the players, we recruited a bad team. However you want to spin it, it still falls on Archie. I'm not giving up on him. I still believe he can turn things around, but the bad losses keep happening, and I'm seeing programs all around the country and in our conferece dealt a similar hand as Archie that look much better than we do.

lol.

You’re too into your opposition character again.

David Cox inherited a championship program with 3 all-conference players and a wealth of NCAA and conference championship experience.

Please don’t compare the two. It’s laughable.

The comparison is Dan Hurley in his rebuild.

We’re right on pace for a 14 win season in year 2.

While the defense is a glaring issue, the biggest problem is the long spurts of non-existent offense. We can’t play in a half court, we need to be running. We don’t have a true PG.

Ben Hammond is that guy.

Like Hurley, we’d be getting our PG in year 3.

We’re a young team. Zero seniors. No one who knows how to win. Could catch fire in Brooklyn. Could disappoint.

It’s a rebuild. Act accordingly. Most importantly don’t blame the guy doing the rebuilding for the sins of the guy who crashed the program into the ground.

Same

Yeah of course we have better investment, but as far as actual basketball.. It's the same and that's without considering the potential for several losses the rest of the season. Finishing around the bottom of the conference again with around 20 losses is not ok.

When you bring in someone with Archie's pedigree you expect it to not be this much of a damn mess. Archie, Kenny and Brian have all coached several better teams and better players and haven't figured it out at all here. They haven't gotten top tier talent to come at a top tier program in this conference. That's aside from the coaching issues. Red flags. We'll just have to sit back and wait and see if maybe they figure it out.

[Iggy1979]

Archie got out coached today by an old fox. No denying it.

[Iggy1979]

I see 8 players I would keep and that's being generous. Plus 2 frosh. 3 transfers.

[Dino611]

With 8 seconds to go, no less

I don't think Foumena is ever the first option, he's just always open because the defense sags on him. Hes supposed to hand it off to a guard coming off a screen, or look to the low post. He just made the wrong decision.

05, this thought crossed my mind as well.

His eyes light up like a kid on Christmas morning when he sees he has space out on the 3 point line, like the end of the first half that was definitely not the play call and pulled a Fatts and did what he wanted to

[Obadiah]

You will always have a difficult time when a team shoots lights out like Duquesne did today. Similar to the reason we beat UMass. But add to that the Rams lack maturity and do respond well to adversity, you end with a team that cannot come from behind. We had a 16-7 lead had 4-5 shots to move the margin to double digits and then in the span of 5 minutes Duquesne had the lead. Green and House were warriors out there, the rest of the team is soft. Another bad game from Luis, Cam, and Fuchs. Their collective inability to hit critical shots time after time against A-10 level opponents is a big part of the problem.

[damram]

What a discouraging game. I haven’t felt this bad leaving the Ryan Center since Dayton stomped us with Obi Toppin a few years ago. Didn’t even listen to the post game show.

[Shinze88]

It just looks like we dont have the quickness on the perimeter to execute this defense. Maybe they can be better, but I think every single team we have played has quicker guards than we do. Can't keep anyone in front of us and can't recover fast enough to defend the three.

Either Archie continues to run it and people run up the score on us or we need to switch it up. It may be this group can't play any defense though. Idk.

The program is exactly where it was with Cox one and a half years into Arch. Apathy with zero momentum for the future.

Been saying this since game 1. Made my first trip to the Ryan Center this year and the environment was great, the team not so much. College basketball is a guard oriented game and we do not have any true point guards on our roster, just a bunch of combo guards who cant run an offense and get constantly get burned on defense all the time. We have some weapons on offense but nothing that can overcome how poor the defense is. I can only imagine how much better this team would be with a Jeff Dowtin type player running the offense, it would make a HUGE difference. This team is in desperate need of some quick and speedy guards who can run an offense and force turnovers on defense, we have nothing close to that on this roster.

Honest to God when I watch our guys play defense sagging down for no reason and then running too late at a player shooting an open jump shot. It finally hit me today RHODY is trying to play defense like NBA players. Unfortunately like NBA players play defense at the NBA All Star Game.

GO RHODY!

I've never seen a team sag off other teams' best shooters like we do. It's incredible. It's stuff they teach you in middle school. I get that Grant is a tough guard, but overplay him and make him drive. Do a box and one. Double him..Do something different! I'd rather him score in a midrange or layup than draining 3 after 3 after 3..

This is a defense I loved when watching the Cavs and Warriors years ago. https://www.sbnation.com/2017/1/16/1422 ... e-analysis

[rambone 78]

Remember what Archie said before his first game here.

We'll be good when we're good.

We are MILES away from being good.

And we aren't getting any closer either.

I dont care what anybody says about how we will be better soon.

Archie doesn't have forever to get good here.

If there isnt major improvement next year, he's on the clock imo.

Again if some dont agree, they are fooling themselves.

Fuck giving coaches here a long leash. All they do is hang themselves with it.

2 more years , and if it's not fixed, get rid of him.

If he can't get enough talent here, find someone who can

[theblueram]

Didn't go to the game as I was on a college visit. We stopped into Thornton's Fenway Grille for a burger around 1:45. The URI game was on every tv. I said to myself, very nice I get to see some of the game. When we sat down I saw we were down almost 20 with 15 left in the second half. I said JFC somewhat loud. A few people looked at me but I'm sure they didn't know what I was upset with. We finished and check was paid with about 2 minutes to go in the game. My wife said don't you want to watch the end of the game? I said this game is over. Very disappointing for sure. Nice to see URI on every tv in a Boston pub though. Wish we showed up.

[Billyboy78]

Yeah, their 2 guards are by far their 2 leading scorers, averaging 17 and 15 or something like that. None of their bigs average double figures. Why are our guards dropping off and helping in the post? I'll take my chances with their bigs scoring one on one rather than their guards taking wide open threes.

[RhowdyRam02]

It's almost like one coach inherited a program in perfect shape to make it back to the tournament but nuked it and one inherited a nuked program and is trying to rebuild from the ashes

They're not 'helping in the post.' It kinda looks like that, but they're actually doin' the packy, where you only guard the yellow swath. So, if a guy is out there from just below the foul line extended and out, beyond the arc, you don't guard him, you retreat to the yellow. It's what you do.

[RhowdyRam02]

Packed house.

Multiple school and team groups there today.

Get blown out.

If you want people to come to games, cannot have a day like today.

I said to my wife as we were leaving, we won't see a crowd like this again this year.

The players coming out for shoot around before the second half - their body language was just awful. I really am starting to not like Kortwright at the point. Sluggish and apathetic. I know we don't have much of a choice right now. Maybe it's just me but the lack of desire out there is palpable in real time. Coaches trying to coach the players up during timeouts or on the bench and it just looks like the players could not care less.

Also thought Miller again did not coach well - the plays coming out of timeouts were questionable at best. I can't imagine he has lost his ability to call plays and coach, but maybe he can't get the emotional buy-in from these guys. Kind of at a loss for words.

Most talk about potential transfers after this season has been focused around guys leaving because they don't currently have a role and might not be talented enough to be an A10 player. I actually think it will mostly be guys that have had a role this year out of necessity but haven't had the necessary buy in.

I have never heard a coach call their own team soft postgame as often as Archie has this season. You might hear it once or twice with the coach trying to light a fire, but that's been a consistent complaint from Archie this year. I imagine the players frustrating him the most now will be getting an unpleasant meeting after the season

Yeah, that's still not true. That team had legitimate talent, more than this year's team, but couldn't play at all together. I'm not sure how many guys on pure talent alone would make Cox' last team. 4 or 5?

You’re too into your opposition character again.

David Cox inherited a championship program with 3 all-conference players and a wealth of NCAA and conference championship experience.

Please don’t compare the two. It’s laughable.

The comparison is Dan Hurley in his rebuild.

We’re right on pace for a 14 win season in year 2.

While the defense is a glaring issue, the biggest problem is the long spurts of non-existent offense. We can’t play in a half court, we need to be running. We don’t have a true PG.

Ben Hammond is that guy.

Like Hurley, we’d be getting our PG in year 3.

We’re a young team. Zero seniors. No one who knows how to win. Could catch fire in Brooklyn. Could disappoint.

It’s a rebuild. Act accordingly. Most importantly don’t blame the guy doing the rebuilding for the sins of the guy who crashed the program into the ground.

A 14 win season. Wohoo. I’m guessing our OOC schedule was loaded. Oh yeah, we’re counting JWU as one of those wins.

Ok, call me Charmin...I watched Archie's presser, and have watched most of them...fwiw, I don't think I'd want to play for the guy
