Ding dong the streak is dead!

Pretty clear that URI has the best freshman PG in Rhode Island. Fatts won us that game.

Congratulations on a good win .

Yes yes yes!

Congrats URI nation we did it party on tonight !!

at the risk of hyperbole...he has a good chance to be our best PG since Tyson

Not sure what to say...except...

YES!

Today is complete!!!

We're Big East champs. Ha ha...

This teams culture has changed...they know how to win and they expect to win

The joy I am getting from seeing Friars fans blame the refs is indescribable.

10-21 FTs vs 20-23 FTs, about as even as it gets.

Remember the days of everyone around here talking about how Cooley somehow magically makes his players better free throw shooters or makes them practice them more and Hurley doesn't or whatever. I guess they stopped doing that!

What a game! Great atmosphere. Relentless defense all night long. Just a great time.

Championship Culture.

The reason you won the game is you were the tougher team in the first half. Cooley's teams usually do not get out toughed Yes hitting the foul shots always helps too. Congratulations .

And they're blaming turnovers. This isn't tennis, these are not unforced errors. Defense and intense defense.

Contain Kyron Cartwright and you beat PC. Worse game I have seen him play in years. Didn’t even know he was out there

Finally a game where one of our major reasons we won was because of our performance of the free-throw line. Jared and Stan didn’t shoot well from the field but they were great from the line.

Whatever happened between Stan and PC players at that concert was certainly part of the on court banter. He seemed to enjoy this win as much as us fans. Clearly he was playing with a chip.

Nice tune up for Bama. Let's get our second Top 25 scalp this OOC.

I'm sure all this has been mentioned but:

Jarvis and Fatts were obvious heroes. There was the Jarvis from a couple years ago!
JT and SR especially played their asses off on Defense and rebounding, especially Stan. He hung in there with Bullock all game, and sacrificed his offense to do so. Dowtin was solid too.
Everybody around me was screaming to bench Berry, but he had two key buckets in the second half to slow the PC run.
We had a serious home court advantage tonight. What an atmosphere!
Maybe everyone can chill a little bit on the hate for the PC players and Cooley. They're a good team with a good coach.

I also cannot believe we went with 5 guards at the end. Wow!

Great win! Going to be fun watching Fatts the next four years. Kid can ball and is lightning quick, so disruptive defensively.

Loved the Dowtin drive and fake pass to the corner for the open bucket.

Thanksgiving does feel like a long time ago

Awesome win, Fatts is incredible! I wasn't sure if the Brown game was just a one time thing but he looks like the real deal.

Only complaint I have about this game is I thought the student section was awful, down right embarrassing.

The crowd was phenomenal all game

Bill Koch weeps.

???? I thought they were great.

3 game win streak against those bums. 3 different teams too.

Fatts is going to have an amazing career in Rhody blue.....

I think I said earlier that if URI was going to win, he would be the difference.

A freshmen no less. Fearless. He's good at basketball lol.....

Kudos to Berry and Jarvis too. And the FT shooting.

How were they embarrassing? I thought they were key in this win

And great seeing Rod today. Haven't seen him in over a year.

I saw a 'Rod' at home after watching the win and will probably be around more than 4 hours.

I sat in 314 right next to the student section so I'll give you a few reasons based on what I saw.

1. During the national anthem one student yelled "Fuck PC" three times during the national anthem. For a fanbase who loves to take shots at other teams for having no class that's about as classless as you can get.

2. Many times during the course of the game the students in the 300s were chanting something different than the students in the 200s.

3. As soon as PC went on a run during the first half the student section went quiet until we scored some baskets to pull ourselves back.

4. Literally all the students have to do is yell and make noise when the opposing team has the ball. Don't worry about chanting defense or URI, just yell "AHHHHH" (that may not be proper spelling for the sound) when the opposing team has the ball. During the course of the game students in the 300s very rarely made noise except for the occasional defense or URI chant, maybe I couldn't hear students in the lower sections.

Watch an ACC or Big 10 game and listen to the student section, it's completely different than our students. Cheering at a basketball game is not rocket science, it's pretty damn simple yet I feel like our students haven't grasped the concept yet.

Winning plays and winning players are starting to become a cliche, but Fatts up faking and drawing a three shot foul then draining all three when they tide was turning their way was so clutch. A winning player making the play of the game as a freshman

Student section was awesome, now THAT is a fun atmosphere...

Was this before or after the pc fan yelled go friars during the National Anthem?
