JCRU, was that after he missed the dunk or after his great offensive rebound putback to give the team the lead again?

Close game + our foul shooting = Worried Rhody fans

If we win, can we say we beat a top 25 team?

I tried to interject some compliments about Metro so they wouldn't think we are low rent idiots, but probably to no avail.

Are we in double bonus yet?

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 10 years ago

EC with a smooth, relaxed few FTs. Inbound to EC all day.

Too bad they gave up the quick layup to bring game back to 2pts again.

A WIN is a WIN is a WIN. I'll take it. It wasn't pretty, but it's a "W".

That announcer sounds like hes gonna cry, sorry no arizona matchup for metro state

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 10 years ago

Steve McDonald says they're playing Arizona next, yet Arizona has yet to advance to the next round. I know, I know... but probably not what he should have said.

"... a great chance to play #5 Arizona tomorrow night" could have been better.

A win is a friggen win!!! And hey we beat a ranked team! Just kidding lol

All said, decent win against a solid well coached team.

A monster on their home court likely awaits....

I'm calling the upset. Fairly Ridiculous over Zona tonight

Blue Man · Unread post by **Blue Man** » 10 years ago

it's not relentlessly going after a kid if people are just observing him playing like garbage. mike's probably a good kid. but he's getting paid a shit load more than i got to go to school - at as someone who donates and pays money to watch this team, i think the criticism is completely fair game.

to my next point...have we got to the point where we can just decide to start EC and not go into a hole early? wouldn't it be nice to see what playing with a lead is like?

that being said it really doesnt matter what lineup we put out tomorrow...its gonna be a blood bath.

Lets get bloody

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 10 years ago

That won't be even close to the worst team we will play. Maybe better than 10+ teams on our schedule, actual.

I take my hat off to Biggie. Easily the best game I've seen him play, and I was really down on him after the first few games. I was impressed tonight. I hope we can get efforts like that from him consistently going forward.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 10 years ago

Nice way to turn things around... We can't keep spotting the other team the first half.

I don't get ESPNU so I'll be hoping there is a stream out there for my viewing, of course if anyone comes across one....

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 10 years ago

Kinda stinks this game doesn't count for our overall record. This team could beat some of the D1 teams on our schedule.

rhodyfan3 · Unread post by **rhodyfan3** » 10 years ago

Hey I'm glad we grinded out a win against a tough opponent. Even it was a Division 2 team.

Iggy1979 · Unread post by **Iggy1979** » 10 years ago

Can we all agree that Biggie is better? Best game by a URI PG in awhile

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 10 years ago

Good win. Beating the #1 D2 school in the country is nothing to scoff at. A lot of D1 teams would lose to these guys. #10 looked like he should be starting for Gonzaga. Missed some of the game due to the Pats, but liked what I saw from Minnis, EC and Gil (offensively anwyway). I'd be shocked if the starting lineup stays the same for tomorrow night.

Agree tp some good things came out of this game even though it was a bad first half

On ESPN3 as well, same as the SMU game. You can watch on line must have to sign up with your service provider info.

the last basket for METRO was definitely about 2 seconds after the clock expired....

It's also online via ESPN3/WatchESPN.com

So thrilled for Biggie to put together a line worthy of a point guard. 5 assists to 1 turnover. Some big shots, including some outside ones to keep the D honest.

agree Iggy, its time for the 3 M's to be our starting lineup

Reischel also played a nice game tonight. got beat on D a few times but was solid besides that.

Yeah, clock didn't restart on time, but ball did go through hoop before the backboard illuminated in RED to indicate time expiration.

Believe it or not, that was a win against a better opponent than NCAT (IMO anyway).

If NCAT was akin to barely an A-10 bottom feeder level, probably not even, MS was a team that probably could have made it to the A-10 Tourney last year and scared a few better teams.

They need to take the game plan for half # 2, and play two halves like that.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 10 years ago

If we start EC maybe it won't be such a blowout, although without Biruta at his best, we're going to get killed inside.

Mike Powell's time is past. He shouldn't start anymore.

Although it will be another measuring stick, to see how far we have to go, to compete with the big boys of college BB.
