We blow right now. Cmon!

Horrible defense Zek !

How can a college basketball team go 6 minutes without a field goal?

Boy our defense stinks !

hey guys, ever thought that these guys don't wanna play hard for Archie? No way we're that untalented.

I can literally hear what green just said…
It’s very quiet here

24-12 STL. 850

It’s a tough watch for us !

I can’t stand our defense !

I do not feel bad for anyone traveling to see this team. Effort is pathetic, coaching is pathetic, overall a horrible team.

Just keep a-jackin' those threes!

Anyone still think we have top half A10 talent?

26-17. 738

STL. 11-17. 64.7 % that’s all you need to know !

We have below average coaching. They failed to bring talent here and they have so far failed to get the most out of them. Pathetic.

I would like a “cute” move right about now…….Dubs

Yeah. Talent is different than being good.

We have talent. We aren’t good.

I don't know how you fix this with this cast of characters. There is not one of them that is a difference maker on defense. Does anyone think any of these guys will change over the summer? Does anyone think anyone of the supposed core really cares. If it hasn't meshed by game 32 it's not going to mesh. Archie has a real tough summer in front of him. I don't identify with any of these players to care if they stay or go. Really embarrassing being a rhody fan right now. Where's the pride from these kids?

This team packed it in weeks ago, no surprise here today. Team is severely in need of a talent infusion and players with much better attitudes. Its pretty amazing actually how a D1 team can be so bad as so many things. Defense is horrific, effort is nonexistent, shooting is poor, ball handling is comical. Not sure how Archie is going to fix this, but its difficult to see us being relevant anytime soon.

Yeah, lemme rephrase. We have talent, but the people coaching them have no clue what they're doing.

These are Archie's players. His tactics. This team is in need of a new coach imo, but ik that won't happen until his contract runs out.

33-25. 332

Offense is keeping us in the game

Cam is playing pretty good.

DG 0-2 0 points terrible and 2 fouls

35-30. 142

URI fighting !

Cam!!!! This is why I said I don't want both Luis and House back. I want Cam in a bigger role next year.

We can’t catch an effing break.

Get Zek the f outta here.

Gives up 3
Can’t catch a pass of offense, turnover
Gives up another 3 to same player
Gets shot blocked

We desperately need a rim protector. Our centers back peddle as the opponent is attacking the basket and wind up committing a foul as they try to defend the player. It is a good thing the NCAA does not track charging fouls as we would probably be at the bottom. When was the last time our opponent was charged with a charging foul?

Did Montgomery miss his wake up call

Your boy! You wanna pay him all the cash!

41-32 half

That’s not how we close a half Arch !

Cam has been on Medley like glue on defense.

Rim protector? Fou?

Zero points from our bigs; Fuchs, Green, and Brown.

Zek Montgomery sucks. Have no idea why he plays. His defense, even when he tries which is about 50% of the time, is awful, That half ass close out on Hargrove was pathetic. He gives you nothing on offense so I have no idea why he sees the floor. Sole reason why it went from five to 11 in 30 seconds.

Fuchs doesn't look like he wants to be here.

Not only do we have to watch this terrible performance but we also have to listen to Giannini who is awful.........

How many times is DG going to pick up 2 fouls in the 1h

Does URI no good with him on bench

Ugh.

Honestly, offensively we’ve moved the ball well and got open shots. We are just missing said open shots. And layups.

Defensively we’re bad everywhere but when you play a team focused defense, one late guy can screw everything else. Fuchs and Brown are slow, lost, and shit defensively.

Why they are hedging ball screens outside of the 3 point line and then watching the ball is beyond me. They are too slow. They are late. It forces everyone else to rotate to cover and then they’re either giving up easy layups, fouling, or giving the free kick out to the open 3.

Obviously Fuchs is a freshman and will improve, but I’d like to add a defensive big in the transfer portal to my wishlist.

I’d try Foumena, and hopefully Green doesn’t foul so Zek can play less. Loving Cam today.

Fuchs and Brown both missed a relatively easy rebound that SLU turned into a 3 pointer each time. Everyone knows our defense is awful and I say that Montgomery is one of the worst defenders. I don't know how Archie is able to sleep at night after watching this team in action.

For me, Zek has been by far the most disappointing player on this team,he plays with zero emotion and a complete lack of urgency, almost like he'd rather be anywhere but on the court, its bizarre how he just got progressively worse as the season unfolded. My list of players who I'd be upset if we dont keep has shrunk to 3 (Estevez, Weston, Fuchs), I want to add House and Green to that list but I just cant. The good news is we will soon be in the offseason which is the best time to be a Rhody fan.

It’s a good point , just let Cam average 30 minutes a night and find others in the portal , go with a Hammond Estevez backcourt

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if Foumena has told Archie he just won’t play.

I suspect it will look much better next season with a floor general that has quick hands and a defense first wing player in the rotation. House is still not a good defender but gives more effort now compared to when he first got here. Fuchs is sneaky good at fighting for position. Montgomery has no excuse for his below average defense compared to his length and athleticism. Kortright moves like a middle aged man at the YMCA, he is not going to shut anyone down ever. David Green is about average. Tyson Brown might improve if he sticks around he seems to give a damn. Estevez has not competed as hard as I'd like defensively but freshmen generally improve. Dubsky looks like a well coached player on the defensive end even if he is not a great athlete. Brandon Weston has been a decent defender this season.

Archie needs to get some top freshmen. That will get the sports writers excited. Which will get the fan base excited. Top 100 players.

Ya at this point I have no idea why anyone is still talking about Fou...

Where is Fuchs? Zero points, zero rebounds. He hasn't even attempted a shot.

I don't think the freshmen have been the problem. Fuchs and Cam had solid freshman years. Hammond is probably his best get so far. Farrell, we shall see.

What I think we need is better two-way vets from the transfer portal.

I'm wondering the same dude. He's been a ghost out there.
