[rhodyruckus]

Yeah that's quite a flagrant.

[DeanDome88]

I'm still glad that we added this game. It's a learning experience.

[KingstonLane]

Dumbass technicals. You're getting your butts kicked and you get 2 technicals. Unacceptable.. play the game and keep your mouths shut.. more embarrassing than the performance on the court itself..

This is some boomer comment. We complain people on this team aren’t emotional then we complain they show emotions? The technicals are on the Refs. We aren’t losing the game because of the Refs but that doesn’t mean they can’t be held accountable for their mistakes too

[RI_Bred]

Come on people. Do any one here know college basketball? Do you guys know how dam good Wisconsin? How good of a program Wisconsin is?
They literally have big ass trees down low. And they keep coming.

Please guys understand that this game is an amazing learning experience. I hate moral victories as much as anyone but look at the facts.

Do you guys know what the twins are going to do to the A10. No one in the A10 will be able to match up. Rhody is in a great position.

This is not a learning expierence or moral anything at this point this is an embarrassing ass kicking!! Wisconsin is good yes. But they lost to Marquette and have played 3 bums thus far. They arent this good. We didnt show up.

It's not a feel-good game for sure, not even close. But gonna have to agree to disagree that Wisc. isn't that good. Let's remember this if and when the tourney comes around.

[rhodyruckus]

Enough about the refs!!! We have scored 31 pts in 28 minutes!!! That is only on us not the refs. This team is playing like a DIII program

You’ve clearly never seen a D3 program play

Pretty sure i have, they certainly shoot better then we do.

Enough with the fucking doomsday posts. You're sounding even softer than how you claim our team is right now.

[BCarey1315]

As rough as this game has been, these guys havent stopped playing hard. The excessive turnovers were bad, but they didnt roll over and die.

This Wisconsin team is legit, and would be top 5 if it wasnt for that buzzer beater loss the other night

Yes...against other D3 teams

[Urifan91]

Why did Wisconsin get FTs?

[RhodyRam86]

ok...i'm NEVER one to complain about officiating, but how did they get a one and one on that? Did Ish's face foul the guy's elbow? what did i miss?

[RI_Bred]

Let's hope that Cox and the other coaches can keep our guys focused after a beat down like this.

I never said Wisconsin isnt good. I said they arent this good. As in absolutely dominating this game. I was expecting a Wisc win. But i was also expecting Rhody to play a MUCH better game!!

[rhodyruckus]

HOW IN THE HOLY FUCK DOES UW GET FT'S THERE??????

[URI_05]

It’s not the reason they’re losing but these refs are the worst I’ve ever seen. Ish must have fouled him with his face or some shit.

[FDshoes]

Shooters can shoot period. And obviously it was an exaggeration but doesnt discount how terrible we look today. Duncan Robinson started at a DIII school FYI.

[Blue Man]

Now walker is taking 3’s? My criticism isn’t limited to Harris here, it’s anyone who’s not a good shooter taking a 3. Why??

I truly appreciate these game threads so I can get context of which users on this forum are completely lost. You’re a fan of a top 75 D1 college basketball program (there’s 350 for reference) and comparing them to D3 programs

[Urifan91]

ESPN app lists 4 techs on URI... I recall 2. Maybe they called a tech on Ish or bench when Ish took the elbows

[RhodyRam86]

except the announcers said it was a one and one for Wiscy. If it were a tech on anyone it wouldn't have been a one and one.

Reading comprehension is key also. "And obviously it was an exaggeration"

[KevanBoyles]

-13 in points off TOs has been a killer. I know we have looked bad but the game stats don’t look as bad.

[Rhodysk]

I bet you Wisconsin makes the sweet 16. If they have a real tournament. Some of our shot selection was good shots. There was just hands in there face all the time.
As far as showing up, how well did you really think they could do with knowing they were playing 48 hours ago?.

You can call it an ass kicking or whatever. People that know the game will call it a terrible matchup but a game Rhody had to take. For a team still coming together I like the fight they have until the final buzzer.
I’ll take Rhody against any team in the A10. Does that mean they will go undefeated? Hell no. But Rhody could be in a great position come A10 tourney time, if there is one.

Proud of you Rhody! Heads up and keep fighting!!!

[KevanBoyles]

I didn’t understand what happened when Ish caught the two elbows in the face. Why did Wisconsin get two free throws?

He must have used a naughty word when he screamed out in pain.

2nd half they do look better, impossiblenot to. But the sloppy play from our 2 senior guards in the first half was inexcusable.

[KevanBoyles]

That’s a little better. Shep for 3. About time.

[Blue Man]

SOMEONE TELL ME WHY WE KILL OUR OWN MOMENTUM WITH THESE TIMEOUTS. SOMEONE GIVE ME A BASKETBALL REASON WHEN YOU FINALLY PULL IT ALL TOGETHER!?

[Urifan91]

Another Cox timeout after a big score to stop Rhody momentum. I hate that!

[BCarey1315]

This team does not give up. LOVE the fight in the second half

[steveystuds06]

I'm so confused.... WHY

[DC_Rams]

Helluva fight in these boys, I despise fragile and fickle fans.

[Rhody72]

We are getting beaten, but this is no beat down. You guys give them all the credit for our poor scoring, but URI gets no credit for their poor shooting. Right now we are down 9 on the road against one of the top teams in the country. We will be fine.

[brady1]

Awesome fight! Awesome!

GO RHODY!

[BCarey1315]

Some of you who turned this off early are missing a hell of a 2nd half effort.

[steveystuds06]

A totally different team in the second half. I love the energy. Ish started this spark for us..

Man that Wisc 3 was a dagger.

[KevanBoyles]

The three early threes by Wisconsin are coming back to haunt us.

[ram1980]

Russell facilitator shepard shooter.. that's a strength

[RhodyRam86]

Man that Wisc 3 was a dagger.

It's kind of a win that we can consider any shot made by Wisconsin in the 2nd half a "dagger".

[DC_Rams]

Coach should’ve let Ish play much more in the first half.

funny stuff, but true

[steveystuds06]

Why is Ish not playing? I'm fine with him getting a break but he was playing great and provided a huge spark for us..

[FDshoes]

Helluva fight in these boys, I despise fragile and fickle fans.

Dont forget most people here have been diehard fans for well over 30 years. We have seen so many talented teams not live up to there potential. Its hard. But doesnt mean anyone here isnt a true fan. Some of the first words i ever learned was fuck PC from my grandparents when i was toddler sitting in the bleachers at Keaney. You act high and mighty at times. Its ok to vent and call out bad play. But you are only a fan because of the coach. I will still be a fan when he is no longer here. Albeit i hope thats not for a long time.

[RI_Bred]

Still blows my mind how the odds makers get it so close for most games.

That's great, but to come on after two weeks of posting and say you understand the nuances and personalities on this board is ridiculous.

I want some sort of behind the scenes documentary of how this all goes down at some point in my lifetime. Not holding my breath for obvious reasons, but its fascinating to think how that process could potentially unfold, and how often they are accurate.

I don’t even understand my own nuances and personalities.

[DC_Rams]

I will not hang my head. Kept it respectable, fought back, showed some grit, need to tweak how we attack bigger teams, but overall I am content.

I am muting all the negativity here, I legitimately can’t read anymore of it. The pandering, the whining and fragility is classless. Pls feel free to flame away at me, but I choose to tailor my experience here.
