If I had to guess I’ll say between 5800 and 6200

Hoping for more than 6,000.

Seems to me when we are playing our best and clicking on all cylinders we are definitely a tournament team but we struggle to find consistency

Classes start on Wednesday. Will students be back this weekend? When do the dorms re-open?

Dorms re-open tomorrow. There should be a few students there.

.......time to get to Patsy’s.......

Looks like the snow will hold off until later.

If it was a night game it could hold down attendance.

5,635

I think the attendance will be similar to the WKU game - part of 5 game pack & students on break. I don’t see how they can get 6,000 without the students.

watch out for the at st bonaventure game and maybe at George Mason!

He donated to create a wellness center that’s named after him. Basketball practice facility is also a “wellness center” for taking this program to the level it deserves to be at.

(With all due respect to Fascitelli, it will always be RoJo’s to me.)

I like this plan with a few modifications....attendance at 5500 and breakout game for #5

I brought an old friend with me to the Davidson game. It was his first time in the Ryan Center with his youngest now a freshman in college. He could not get over the age of the crowd in Sec 311. It's fairly rowdy during the game action but not so much during time outs etc. You could seriously hold an AARP meeting up there. I'm not knocking it there are some truly knowledgeable fans there and many have probably been supporting the program for a long time and for the record AARP started sending me invitations to join years ago, which I promptly toss in the circular file. Hopefully the students are back if you really want to bring the ruckus so to speak. I am sure the hard core student fans will find a way to be at the game. The question is how many hard core student fans does this team have?

They write checks, we need that too!

Limited hype squad today with cheerleaders away at competition. Ramettes should have almost a full squad. I’m sure they will be looking for the fans to help them out. Let’s get after it!

How can this team do well unless Fatts does a better job of sharing the ball when he is having trouble scoring for whatever reason?

I do at least have to give you some credit for keeping this shtick going for so many years. It's annoying, but also kind of impressive.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:01 pm**

I got right on Wi-Fi today. We're gonna win bigly!

How can this team do well if Fatts can't score
17 points in the last 9:39 of each game like he did against St. Joe's? Come on Fatts, you can do better!

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:23 pm**

Zero warm up line controversy today. Saw maybe 2 dunks. The rest jumpers and layups.

Fatts is averaging 5 assists/game with an over 2/1 A/TO ratio. This team also needs him to score in order to win. Let’s stop with this shtick that’s not backed up by any real data. Last year u could have had a point but not this year.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:26 pm**

Good. Might mean they are focused!

Love the energy so far!!!! Let's run these guys out of the gym!

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:43 pm**

I’d guess 6800 attendance

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:43 pm**

We started 7-0 now we are in a war 11-10

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:50 pm**

LaSalle hot from outside we trail 17-15 under 12

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:50 pm**

LaSalle is even hitting their misses on 3's. That won't continue.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:03 pm**

21-21 here under 8

Need to go on a run here

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:06 pm**

We have the knack of playing to the level of our competition. I guess that'll be good when we play VCU again and Dayton for sure, but it's frustrating when we're playing teams like St. Joe's and La Salle.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:09 pm**

Half court D is nonexistent. They will end up winning but I hate the effort on defense.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:13 pm**

........Harris not seeing much time......back in

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:15 pm**

32-27 under 4

Good passing by Walker to Cyril

Be nice to close this half strong get a double figure lead

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:15 pm**

I’m going to speculate that Cyril is dealing with a hand/finger issue. Someone guessed that he was playing hurt the other day and it was noted that he looked as bouncy as ever and it hasn’t really impacted his defense or rebounding - which is true. But his shooting is really bad even for him and I’ve also noticed him pulling up on easy dunks and just laying it in. Haven’t seen him grimacing or shaking it or otherwise doing anything to indicate he’s in pain, but just a thought.

I think it started lousy but has improved.

Walker showing Harris how to bank it. Lol.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:23 pm**

I hope I don’t regret saying this and the guy gets 20 in the second half, but I can’t see how this guy Stone is a division 1 player and can’t believe that Howard has had him on the floor so much.

LaSalle is thin on the post. We are a lot bigger than them. He needs his size/height down there.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:28 pm**

39-33 URI half

Balanced scoring
Fatts 9
Cyril. 8
Mekki. 7
JD. 6

Tyrese didn’t play much cuz of foul trouble

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:30 pm**

12 LaSalle turnovers is the difference so far: Rhody with 8.

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:31 pm**

I thought Mekhi looked great!

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:36 pm**

Cyril dunking just fine in warmups. No visible hand injury

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:42 pm**

.....Cyril free throw release is from the palm/heel of hand.......TV had good look.....

Posted: **Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:47 pm**

The D is really tough now. Started with Fatts pressuring the ball late in the first half.
