Not looking promising but its still early. Need to find any form of rhythm offensively. A few good possessions in a row because right now its painful. Not to mention we are getting shredded defensively.

We can't handle their aggressiveness at all so far.

We cant handle anything right now. This is getting bad fast.

Oof this ballhandling...

Makhi looked good down low! Keep doing that to take pressure off the guards.

This is ugly and disappointing.

Shepard only bright spot so far. Pleasenty surprised that the twins look light on their feet.

The problem is how will we threaten a comeback with half the guys fouled out in the second half.

You can tell they’re talented but have no idea How to play together.

Fouls and ballhandling are killing us.

........come on now......8 minutes into a weird beginning to be a weird season, followed by more weirdness.....come A-10 time, we will be just fine......

And we somehow manage to get a Mitchell foul on a made basket, like wtf.

Dear lord dont call that on Ish. Seriously? Swallow the whistle for a second

.....3 for 9 from the line.....I report, you decide....

At this pace the whole team will be fouled by half time

Can we maybe stay on our feet a little more on the defensive end? Terrible ball fakes are getting our guys in the air and leaving lanes WIDE open

They’re FREE ... THROWS

We’re actually shooting very well. Getting killed from the line -11.

.......none on Jermaine...l

Arizona State looks really good.

I see a few nervous Rams. Understandable no?

Should settle down.

Fatts has to know that with the short notice, ASU is focused on him being our best returning player. Just don't try to do it all, it feels like he has very capable teammates right now.

Well Fatts will be well rested for the weekend now...

Wow, why would you do that with 3 fouls?

I can’t stress how fucking stupid it was to put fatts back in the game with 3 fouls, then have him guard a preseason all American. Fucking moronic.

That’s just irresponsible

JFC with the uncalled offensive foul then arm bar by Martin called against us!! The foul calls have been fair for the most part but that was ridiculous.

Offensively close to 40 points in the first is pretty good. But defensively gross gross gross

These refs love to be the center of attention. Christ.

.......a RoadyJay sighting.......nice.....

Just tuning in, how's it looking so far?

Cut it to under 10 by the end of the half good. No fatts in the 2 half bad.

The 3 players who transferred in last season Walker, Sheppard, and DJ are playing decent.

This game and all the fouls is exactly like the last time we played at Mohegan vs WVU

Much more manageable game. I’ll take it!

DJ rejection!

Proud of us! We have testicles!

Four fouls, just trying too hard to make his mark on this game with the offense not coming to him.

I’m impressed with DJ so far.

Oh dear God

I thought we forced Fatts back in the game when the tape will show Legget settled in and was a solid part of cutting into that lead. Some of our players haven’t flipped the switch from pick up basketball to actual big game college ball. Can win if we get smart. !!go Rhody!!

Steve said that Tres Berry was likely a redshirt. It is hard to follow the reasoning if this year does not count against eligibility.

Solid final 3 minutes of half.

Granted ASU has 2 elite players but touch R Martin at all he shoots foul shots, kinda hard to defend.

DJ can play, told y’all

.......we are built for the A-10, not the PAC 12 or any other P5 conference.....

So...given the fact that URI has committed a bunch of fouls & turnovers in the first half with some really sloppy play for at least half of the 1st half, I'd say they're doing pretty good only being down 7 at the half, given all of that. If Johnson hit a couple more free throws, this game is within 5 or 4 at the half.
This team looks like they could be pretty lethal once they start to gel & clean up some of the small stuff. One thing we don't seem to lack thus far is perimeter shooting. Now URI just needs to find a way to get guys open & stop fouling Arizona St all the time.
