Game release on GoRhody.com

Dayton -10.5.........seems high no?

We are a different team on the road. I don't think it's crazy.

Seeing that we spanked them. Yes.

Eh, we're due to be spanked in Dayton.

If we're going to win a road game, this is the one.The whole team should wear Marques Jones' old number (5?).

Here I go again.....Dayton needs this game more than we do......to keep their slim at-large hopes alive.....we need to win the A-10 tournament..not win regular season games against foes who still have a chance for an at-large bid...

....it is better for the conference, and ultimately for us from a financial standpoint and a league stature standpoint....and will lead to better recruiting for us....

Ramulous, for a million different reasons you try to win every game you can and wish your league opponents the best of luck in the rest of their games.

And again, SCREW DAYTON! I'm a RHODY RAM,
not an A-10 follower.

The major problem with this is that the marginal benefit of having one extra team (maybe) get in the dance because they avoided one loss against URI (dubious math) is far outweighed by the benefit to Rhody winning a road game. It's a specious argument. You really need to thread the needle. First, dayton needs to be about one of the last four teams in the discussion for a bid. Right there, you are looking at a slim chance. Even if that happened, those four or five other bubble teams will have similar losses on their resume. It's why they are bubble teams.

If we win the A-10 tournament, you don't think the committee eliminates an A-10 bubble team first? So, what's the point of tanking regular season games to bubble teams if we win the A-10 tourney? End result would be the same.

This entire discussion is ridiculous.

Dan Hurley and his team would never tank a game. Any game. Screw the rest of the league if we beat any of them between now and NY.

He's paid to win games, not throw them.

Dayton is going down. A win means more for us. We have lost recruits to them before. A sweep of them will help. At least help us on this board not care who we lose to them, because they won't be able to beat us.

In NCAA there is no incentive to lose ANY game. We don't get draft picks from this. We have gotten many teams in the NCAA in the past and we still don't get there. Doesn't matter, it only matters in bars when other schools claim greatness because of conference affiliation. This isn't Atlanta and not the SEC. Win the GAME!

Finish strong!!! Get better seeding for the Barclays, hope one of the teams we don't want to face gets knocked out in the tourney before us and we then get on the tight rope and try to win the thing.

Sweep the Flyers.

All we need to do is shoot 63% again!

I forgive you all for your lack of ability to see the logic in my position.....

It's a stretch to make the argument, Ramulous. A BIG stretch, since you mention recruiting. What is Hurley going to say to a recruit, "Hey, we lost to Dayton last year and that helped them make the tournament!" I obviously agree (as do most URI fans) that more A10 teams in the tournament is a fantastic thing, and I will root for all of them once they get there, but I will NEVER root for URI to lose, or even admit that there is a silver lining to it.

This is not the Celtics. We are not playing for draft position. I think any win right now is a big positive for our program.

There is no logic

Sorry Ramulous. You're one of my favorite Rhody
legends, but I have to say, you're way off base on this
one.
Absolvum absolutem.

should be streamed for free on campusinsider.com for free

Whenever we play Dayton, I enjoy reading this...

http://www.blackburnreview.com/recon-rhode-island-2/

Not confident about this one.

DiSano posted that the game will be on college chalktalk

Last time I tried to use that for VCU I ended up with all kinds of Advertising Trojans and still couldn't get the stream to work unfortunately. Even after I updated windows media player like it told me to it was still telling me i had to update.

Tank a game for the conference? Are you effin kidding me? I hope we win out and put everyone in the NIT. JHC.

Rhody Guy, maybe you were remembering another game that was on CBS Sports Network and you watched it on one of the pirate sites. The stream tonight is professional and part of the A10's Digital Media Rights package via CollegeInsiders.com.

There are no such trojans, etc or other risks when watching tonight's streams via the links posted in this thread.

If you don't already have ad-block installed on your browser, install it! PM me if you have any other questions/concerns.

RETRACTION/CORRECTION:

Game will NOT be on Cox tonight! Source in Athletics Dept confirmed that game isn't on Cox due to issues outside Cox's control (read: NOT Cox's Fault).

Some kind of clerical error (to be determined, Athletics is looking into it) is to blame. A10's own press release regarding SNY partnership says all SNY games would always be available on local syndication (Cox), as we have seen several times already this season (most recently the Fordham game).

Here is a different perspective -

We are 9-4 at home. The four losses are to [rpi]. PC[54], So. Miss[35], St. Louis[16], UMass[10].

On the road we have lost to -
SMU[40]
Arizona[2]
George Mason[168]
Detroit[190]
George Washington[32]
LaSalle[90]
St. Joseph[46]
Fordham[176]
VCU[29]

Other than G. Mason, Detroit, and Fordham, are there any other "bad losses"?

Our game is on SNY live at seven for those of you who get it.

Isn't that more than enough? It pains me to think we could not even win one of those three games. Those were 3 of our best shots (along with at Brown) at true road wins for the entire season. We instead lost all three and somehow inexplicably win at LSU where we were big underdogs.

Wow. Perhaps RF1 should be coach. Then we would win some games. The shit on this board right now is ridiculous.

I don't have a good feeling about this game. Revenge game, expect all the calls to go the flyers way. I hope I'm wrong. But our guys got to be pretty down with the way Sunday night ended. If somehow we were to win this game, I think it would say a lot about this team.

hopefully they dont stream the wrong game this time....

Shit! I hate watching on my computer!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, this isn't the NBA, a league which has the word "tanking" being written and spoken more than the word WINNING!!!!!!!!!!! AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Tanking" is nothing less than "throwing games/cheating" and a federal crime.

the 1 or 2 games a year, when guys like me and Adam can enjoy it on TV (SNY) as you guys squint at the stream. All I have to say to you all is, try watching URI vs NC A&T on that little screen! Not fun!!!

and one more thing, GO RHODY!!

agree with Iggy, tough spot for us in a revenge game at a place we have had a lot of success, except not 1 guy on this team has been part of it.

Haha yes BAR...finally score one for us!

Stream up. Remember, this streaming system allows you to PAUSE like on your home DVR. You can rewind as well.

If you joined the action late, you can rewind to start of game and watch on slight delay. Very cool.
