He's also a big man that's a very good free throw shooter so worth having in at the end. Oh yea, and he's hurt. These people should just be happy with 3 quality big men vs nit picking what they did wrong. Everyone has an off game, especially when you have a foot injury and haven't been playing. Focus on the positives...he helps us a lot.DC_Rams wrote: ↑3 years ago This is Harris second game of the season. He too is also trying to find his place. Cox isn’t a rash decision maker.

I think Cox is doing the right thing in letting his JR in Harris find his confidence and allow him to play. He didn’t cost us the game in as much as anyone else’s mistakes could or would have.
I’m not happy with the kids play, but as long as he dons the Keaney, he has my support.

I get your larger point, but the dunk I was talking about was this one...Blue Man wrote: ↑3 years ago
You could tell they missed Carey tonight, but it allowed Ish to shine and oh my God is that kid a player. He really is the total package. Active on defense, great court vision, can shoot, understands the motion of the offense - that P&R with Mitchell was an absolute thing of beauty. Someone said the EC to Hass dunk - and I agree - but Batman and Robin had been together for years. This was 2 freshmen on a brand new team with no prep time...holy crap we got a good one.
This was their freshmen year. We knew what we had at that exact moment and I'm getting the same feeling all over again with Ish + Twins.

Re: 12/2 | Seton Hall University | 7:00 PM (CBSSN)
Harris held the fort on a sore foot until Cox could deploy the twins with 3 guards attack plan he had cooked up
He did some decent work on the glass. It also appears to me he has been instructed by Cox to shoot the ball when open.
Tough crowd here...

I know I'm not the only one who's PTSD kicks in anytime one of the twins puts the ball on the floor. That has almost always led to a turnover for a big man in a Rhody uniform. Not only are these kids tall, but they are athletic and have some skills as well. What a luxury to have on top of the usual guard depth.

DJ also is super long and I think is doing a great job grabbing boards and disrupting opponents with his length.bigappleram wrote: ↑3 years agoAgree on this 100%! I've been most impressed by their hands, many tough catches in traffic and a nose for the ball on the rebounding side.Rhody74 wrote: ↑3 years ago The twins’ wingspans are difference makers. They blocked/altered passes inside on defense and they caught what I thought were dangerous passes on offense. A couple of times I thought passes were going out of bounds that were caught by them. Once they get their post moves perfected, they’ll be dangerous interior players.
Seems like a huge miss by Turgeon, thanks Maryland.
Just a huge difference having that size on the team this year.

I am happy to see support for Jermaine . sure he didn't have a great game , but as DC mentioned itwas only his second game and he is dealing with a foot injury so I will cut him some slack . He at least has shown some offensive aggressiveness which I think is a plus. Hopefully his shot will start to fall.
Certainly there is no lack of effort here.

I'm not down on Harris for issues related to his mobility. I get it; physically, he is not 100%.

Credit to A10Talk, they covered the game nicely and celebrated the win. But some of those other accounts that cover the A-10 were awfully quiet last night.Seawrightspostgame wrote: ↑3 years ago They can win the A10! (I have started to find more joy in beating the same teams in the A10 every year and not going away in the A10 when it seems that everyone in the A10 and covering the A10 is dying to see Rhody fall from the top.

Re: 12/2 | Seton Hall University | 7:00 PM (CBSSN)
I wasn't able to watch the game last night or really check the score until the very end...and it was frozen at 66-63 for the longest time, until it finally updated to the final score! I have it on dvr with plans to watch over the weekend...Since we don't have a game until the 13th at this point, it will give me a "game" to look forward to. I'm sure this board was a lot of fun in the game closing 10-0 run!
Bleed Keaney Blue!

Re: 12/2 | Seton Hall University | 7:00 PM (CBSSN)
I know it’s early, and given that first game this is almost hard to believe, but there are some good early signs that this team will be much improved from the free-throw line this year. (Take away the Mitchells and these numbers are even more remarkable.)
2020-21 FT shooting (5 games, full team): 110 of 152 (72.4%)
2020-21 FT shooting (5 games, minus the Mitchells): 87 of 110 (79.1%)
2019-20 FT shooting (full season): 464-686 (67.6%)
2018-19 FT shooting (full season): 479-704 (68.0%)

Re: 12/2 | Seton Hall University | 7:00 PM (CBSSN)
Haha. Totally fair! Agree that we can’t just write them off, but I guess that point is that even with their numbers dragging us down we are still shooting several percentage points better than we have in the past few years. Also, it’s only five games.KingstonLane wrote: ↑3 years agoTake away the bad numbers and the numbers look good!

Better shooting team = better foul shooting team
Our 2FG% and 3FG% are up vs last year indicating this is a better shooting team. And likely will translate to a better foul shooting team.

Let's not forget to give credit to Kevin Willard for bringing his team up here for the game. That does not move the needle for yours truly as far as the Big East is concerned but I now have respect for Willard. I have absolutely no respect for Cooley--NADA for that d-bag.

Re: 12/2 | Seton Hall University | 7:00 PM (CBSSN)
To me, at least so far, the top of the A10 [Richmond, URI, St. Louis, Dayton] is easily as good as the top of the BE.
Even Davidson is comparable to that so-called top half of the BE PC team.
I know it's really too early to tell yet, but Dan just might have the best team in the BE. Or very close to it anyway.
I'm not a UConn fan, but it would be nice to see Cooley get his ass handed to him by them.

Re: 12/2 | Seton Hall University | 7:00 PM (CBSSN)
I live in a strange world where I grew up a big UConn hoops fan (lived 15 minutes from campus growing up, my Mom worked there her whole career, was in high school when they first went big, etc.).
Of course I then went to URI and became a mega fan of URI hoops.
Still followed UConn and was happy when they won (don't roast me, it was in my blood).
Now, I hate UConn. I hold grudges, and Hurley is in the top few still. Irrational, maybe.
And I too would love to see UConn b!tch-beat PeeCee.
