Maybe we can win one more game this year?
Wow, amazing job Arch

Are we THAT much better than last year? Let's ignore the record, we had some absolute cupcakes earlier this year. I don't think our team is significantly better this year in any way. Our defense is worse.TruePoint wrote: ↑4 months agoPeterRamTime wrote: ↑4 months ago Hey guys! Just wait out the year!

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.
What is the bar? Win more games than last year? The conference absolutely stinks. Miller picked these guys. Richmond was supposed to be a last place team with URI. College basketball teams can be turned around quickly with a couple players mixed with ones you have and good coaching. Wasn’t the bar a tourney bid by the third year? Eventually Miller can run into one by winning the auto bid I guessTruePoint wrote: ↑4 months agoPeterRamTime wrote: ↑4 months ago Hey guys! Just wait out the year!

I don't even think NIT is a possibility next year. This team is much further behind than I thought. I don't think swapping out the entire team is the solution every year. Coaching simply hasn't been good enough. They choose the players, they coach the players.RamStock wrote: ↑4 months agoWhat is the bar? Win more games than last year? The conference absolutely stinks.

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.TruePoint wrote: ↑4 months agoPeterRamTime wrote: ↑4 months ago Hey guys! Just wait out the year!

I'd agree, but I don't see any real hope at this point.TruePoint wrote: ↑4 months agoPeterRamTime wrote: ↑4 months ago Hey guys! Just wait out the year!

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.

He hasn’t been all bad to be fair. And the rams coach is always the highest paid employee.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑4 months agoNot enough people calling out the horrendous coaching this season.

Considering his salary, he hasn't been good enough in his 2nd year. The excuses need to end.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑4 months agoHe hasn’t been all bad to be fair.

Puh-leeeze. Only about 7% of his pay comes from state funds. Janitors collect more state dollars.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑4 months agoConsidering his salary, he hasn't been good enough in his 2nd year.

Hahahahahaha you actually think that’s why I brought up his salary. I’m a fan of the team and I care about us being a serious program.Rhode_Island_Red wrote: ↑4 months agoPuh-leeeze.

I’ve said it another post- moving ahead is an extroidinary low bar- the question is -are we making as much progress as some of our competitors in our league. Has UMass Made more progress? How has George Mason done after losing their coach and two best players?Richmond lost their best player and seems to be even better this year. Loyola came in behind us last year and they are now in 3 rd place (6-2). Any objective third party would wonder why URI has not made the same progress as our competitors.TruePoint wrote: ↑4 months agoPeterRamTime wrote: ↑4 months ago Hey guys! Just wait out the year!

thank you! it's this channel 12 bullshit narrative which hurts URI getting funding.Rhode_Island_Red wrote: ↑4 months agoPuh-leeeze. Only about 7% of his pay comes from state funds.
