KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

Cancun must be going nuts!!!!! Congratulations students!!!!! WE"RE BACK!!!!!!!!

I love our defense. Kept us in all these games when we go cold.

Now it's up to Dayton. Go Flyers!

While everyone else gets their just due, I was very impressed with Terrell, again. He fills up the stat sheet, and played excellent defense whether he was on Foster or Thomas. He's the type of player that successful teams have.

Agree he was really good today without being flashy. Great D, ball handling, made the plays he needed to make. A leader too. Glue guy

I'm not worried about Dayton tonight. Rhody! Rhody! Rhody!!!!!

It's kind of funny, actually. I had about a dozen group threads going during the game, and the best basketball watchers were raving about Jared's D and the casual fans were roasting him for missing a couple layups. I will take kids like Jared all day.

Need to add another name:

Missouri
Syracuse
Purdue
Murray State
Kansas
Valpo
Creighton

yup. give me a hard nosed, tough as sh*t northeast player any day

Dan Hurley has earned his way. Congrats Coach!!! We always wanted you to succeed!!!! Thank You!!!!!!

I called sweet 16 two weeks ago. URI has been firing on all cylinders for a while now. Today's result is expected.

This URI team has elite top 10 talent. Said it all year. Said it at the start of the year! Team played tight and afraid until the Fordham game.

Message received the hard way that playing fast, smart and loose without fear produces champions.

I called sweet 16. I now think this team can go deep. It's all there. Crisp offensive sets result in an open shot st the bucket almost every possession. We play lock down complex defense. Foul shots! Yep the most bitched about aspect of the game on this forum was perfectly executed today under the greatest pressure possible.

Our toughest game is this region is tomorrow.

This group is on the cusp of history. Something special might await. We are represented by a strong group of men!

Win and advance!

We are all in this together my KeaneyBlue friends!

Go Rhody!

I like your attitude!

We are 25-9. We gagged at least 4 games to vastly inferior opponents when we played tight and afraid.

So what keeps URI from standing tall with a club like Louisville, Michigan or the ducks ?

Nothing anymore, absolutely nothing!

Oh and you need to update the last part of your sig friend.

Cause you are right in the thick of the NCAA tournament!


Win and advance.

Go Rhody

Wow! I was in Milwaukee for their last NCAA game. So glad I decided last minute to come this year! These guys are "en fuego"!
Hope Sunday's game is early enough before my flight back...

Though I'd post a little later gram I posted after game 1 v Dartmouth.

They had a police escort to the hotel

It's like Old Home week......so many blasts from the past......

Lamar is looking good. happy to see it

I don't even think we played that well today - we can be so much better!

JUST KEEP WINNING!!!

hurley was surprised by the amount of fans in the hotel

Outstanding article by Will and great quotes by Dan.

One of my favorite scenes from the day ...

What a day to be a Rhody fan. Simply incredible!

Agree...that was awesome

My simple comment for anyone familiar with the movie "Sleepers" is "One down shakes, one down"
I posted a thread called HOPE about a month ago and I guess as unlikely as it seemed then the "Hope"
that the Rams could still get on a run like Dayton had to the Elite eight a few years ago defied the logic
of that time and became a reality.
Go back and check it out.

If you want to reread the HOPE poost it is on page 5 of NCAA or Bust.

El Jefe. Career-high 23 points, first time leading the team in scoring is on the team's biggest stage since he was born.

Unreal game by Dowtin, our season turned around when he was forced into the starting role.
10-10 from the line, 0 turnovers, knows what he wants to do out there never forces action.

Hey guys....this is happening. I wish all of you were here. What a weekend, and we aren't done yet!

We could hear the Ram fans loud and clear on TV. You trained us well!

The URI crowd is larger than in Pittsburgh. Dan seems even a bit surprised with how much support we have out here about as far away from RI as possible. There are a lot of drunk and happy Rhode Islanders walking around NorCal right now. Go Rhody!

I'd give my left nut to be there right now.

LET'S GO!!!!!!!

EVERYTHING IS SO PERFECT RIGHT NOW

OMFG

AAAAHHHHH!!!

Love Rhody!

This is why we kept sticking with it all these years!

We all deserve this.
And we ain't done

Awesome time for us.I am thinking how Hurley just tied former Uri asst coach reject Ed Cooley for most wins
In the ncaa tournament.

postgame press conference is up



the hurley comment about free throws is even better

Awesome find. Thanks!

So excited for this guys

So much fun to watch

We have only trailed for 43 secs in 4 games unreal

Let's get those Ducks Quack Quack
