Oh, yeah, no doubt. I knew his starting days were over when they brought in all of those new players through the portal. That was the idea.

Should be $2 beers.

Or even $5 dollar beers.

That really would bring people in earlier. Doubt $2 hot dogs will bring extra people in early. At least it's trying something though

Rhowdy and I went at each other about something last week pretty hard, can't remember what.

Since then, we've have agreed/acknowledged on each others posts multiple times, and all seems well.

It's not hard to do.

If everyone is being honest with themselves, we've probably all violated rule #3, some more than others. I acknowledge I'm probably on the higher end myself, so that means I'm going to take some extra shots as well. Means sometimes you have to have thick skin to be able to move on, sometime you have to realize it's better to ignore because it's not like our opinions are really changing things in the places that matter

Or if you give it you best be able to take it.

Getting back to Wagner.
I think they may be one of those teams that are better than most predict, sounds familiar.
House vs Council should be fun to watch, even if they aren't matched up against each other.
Their frontcourt players of Kelton, Taylor, and Lewis should be a nice test for us.
What concerns me most is their defensive pressure and how we will handle it, hopefully well.
All in all, I expect us to come out on top in comfortable fashion.

Briefly on the topic of moderation - We give pretty wide latitude to all posters here when it comes to expressing their opinion on URI teams. We're not really going to play traffic cop when it comes to who's being sincere in their arguments, or administering purity tests about "true" fans. For example, I don't think we've ever pruned a post by 72, who at times seems to be intentionally going against the stream to illicit a reaction. If you find yourself constantly disagreeing with a poster, you should probably just put them on ignore. Ultimately, this is a discussion board, and the tone, positivity and negativity of posts tends to ebb and flow with the success (or lack of it) with the various URI teams and the players on those teams.

Based on watching the 2nd half of the Fordham/Wagner game last week, I would guess that either Foumena, Fuchs or Brown will have a big night. They did not seem like a big team based on the lineups they had on the floor against FU. We should dominate the boards and work the inside/out game, it seems like its been forever that we've had capable scorers both in the paint and on the perimeter.

Funny in the past I thought you could be Rhody15 on burner account. Asked Mods they said no - 2 different people. What seems to always happen when Rhody15 goes too far is people want to drop it. Never gets addressed.

It's too bad we have posters putting him on ignore but that's the only solution it appears or live with the trolling and antagonizing. Fun stuff.

Sorry to disappoint. 100% KingstonLane takes here. For better or worse

Imagine getting your feelings hurt so much you go to the moderators asking if me and you are the same person hahaha, what a world.

I'm hoping ball security and defensive rebounding improve tonight. Those have to have been big areas of focus for the staff. It all gets real this weekend so hoping Wagner gives us some pressure to deal with.

Just curious, how many of you are going to Mohegan this weekend? I hope it's mostly URI fans lol

Yes BAR, thinking the same thing, especially after hearing Archie's presser.

I will be there. I am bringing 3 others with me. I am hoping it will be very well attended by URI fans.

First 10 minutes last game were absolutely brutal to watch us trying to rebound on the defensive end.

That won't cut it at Mohegan, PC, Yale etc.

rhodyram22 wrote: ↑6 months ago Just curious, how many of you are going to Mohegan this weekend? I hope it's mostly URI fans lol

It always seem to be mostly us when we play there.

Northwestern I would guess may have a good amount, no idea about Miss St.

Can't see too many people from Pullham Washington making the trip.

Although their flag always makes an appearance on College Gameday, so who knows.

Pretty sure me and the mrs are going. I believe my daughter and boyfriend are going as well.

KenPom gives the #188 Rams a 79% chance of beating #290 Wagner, with a predicted final of 73-64.

Massey Ratings gives the #140 Rams an 83% chance of beating #297 Wagner, with a predicted final of 70-60.

There are $2 hot dogs between 6-7 pm tonight. If we take care of business that might be the most intriguing portion of the evening

Those are the easy ones...keep going....

There are few northeast D1 programs that Rhody is winless all-time against. Let's hope Wagner is removed from that list tonight.

Yeah, I'm not complaining, to the extent that, I'm still here after all these years.

But this is just a unique site, is all. Always has been.

This site is awesome JCRU. Ups and downs, drunken posts and rants as well. I'm guilty of both. But I've enjoyed it since the PROJO board. Good stuff!!!!

If you haven't woke up in the morning and wondered if/what you posted last night...you haven't lived

Yup. Logging in the next day and see the red circle over the notifications button and not having a clue what you said is quite the rush.

Good points, Jersey.

This is our best test so far.

That said, I’ll be looking for improved foul shooting and, like you mentioned above, how we handle the pressure.

Bought my tickets the day they went on sale

I will be flying up to go to the game at Mohegan. Bought the ticket before our last two games so now I can say I am totally psyched

Odds on Bilau returning night, need him badly for Mohegan imho

Highly unlikely today, and even if he does play later, would doubt Archie play’s him major minutes against big time competition.

Look forward to the Wagner test and WBB. And PC against a good team. Big might for RI basketball..

SS...you say my posts are childish. They are there for everyone to see. Please tell me which ones are childish.

An old school Rhody fan looking forward to a PC game. That already makes you suspect.

I’d be surprised Dino , I think a return may be before month end , is he practicing full go yet ?

Agreed. I'm also worried about the pressure. We seemed to have issues with any pressure during the first two games, and I'm sure teams picked up on this while scouting us. My guess is the game will stay close, but we will go up by double digits at the end. I think we play our best basketball in the final 10 minutes tonight.

Yes Stevey, finishing the game strong would be a huge step in the right direction and exactly what the doctor ordered.

Also worried about their pressure and our defensive rebounding

Be nice if we can get ahead early and play the game on our terms

Damnit Brandon.

I was worried about Wagners quickness. They are really bothering us with it.

Its literally one kid on Wagner. Hes trouble on offense and defense.

Bad start 8-6 Wags and House 2 fouls U 16 !

Biggest issue with our broadcast is our announcers are getting all our players confused. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s at least once a possession.

So hard to keep track of what’s happening

FEED FOU!!!!

Hahaha Fou is such a beast. Love his energy after dunking.

18-14 URI Big Fou ! U 12

No comments about what I said about Foumena? You know when I said I was much higher than him than Rory? Maybe you're watching the PC game, but Foumena has looked good this year and has looked great so far tonight.

Our front court is much improved from last season.
