Rhode Island 17-9 (9-5)
La Salle 14-11 (8-6)

very important game from the standpoint of getting the double bye...Lasalle has an easy remaining schedule(umass,st louis,fordham) and if we were to lose to them they would own the tiebreaker

Leaving in a couple of hours for sunny Florida....won't be back until next Wed. Knocking off a big bucket list item.....Daytona 500.

Will read the board a couple of times.....but not post.

Good luck against LaSalle and VCU....hope we still have at least a little teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini bit of hope for an at large after those two.

Hope you have a great vacation. We'll all be here when you get back. Can't guarantee our mood, however.

On my list too!

My brother goes every other year...he'll be there for this one.

If you've never seen NASCAR prepare to be blown away. Some little foamie ear plugs highly suggested

Huge game..

A win here and the buzz will be even greater Friday night

This is a must win game for us let's get the job done boys and girls

It's a revenge game for us but will we treat it like that ??

URI has Never been swept in a season by La Salle

http://www.providencejournal.com/sports ... -explorers

URI now leads the A10 in:
- 3 point FG% defense
- Blocks shots per game = 6.9 bpg ( Martin with 2.2 bpg and Iverson with 1.7 bpg)
- Assists / Turnover Ration. Dowtin leads the entire A10 with 3.5 TO ratio. 42 assists and 12 turnovers)

URI is 2nd in Offensive Rebounding. Led by Iverson with 2.8 Offensive rpg and Langevine with 1.9 Offensive rpg

Let's hope we can continue to leverage these capabilities vs LaSalle tonight

We are last in foul shooting, they are close to first. They have made many more threes. We are first defending them. Should be interesting. Go rhody!

This team needs to have a one game at a time mentality. Especially our coach. Stop bringing up Fordham or Dayton. Who cares about VCU. Beat LaSalle.

All the drama since Dayton and I'm still pumped to see this game. Go Rams, F*ck em up!

Enough of the "must win" games. I thought the Dayton games were must win? Wasn't Richmond must win? After losing at home Dayton, didn't the rest of the schedule become must win? And then they lost to Fordham.

Put a fork in the Rams.

Well it has changed from "ok, it's leaves us little margin for error in league play, we can only lose 3 games in conference at the most now" type comments after the Valpo, PC and Houston losses.

You and others put a fork in the Rams many games ago.

But it's "ok" if some of us don't put the fork in yet. It really is.

Plus, apparently PMMM hasn't noticed that pretty much all bubble teams have been losing. It's almost like getting into the tournament is actually a sliding scale based on what other teams are doing as well.

and RR2, no different than every year. The teams on the bubble move on and off the bubble frequently, but the really big bubble changes happen in the Conference Tournaments - always some big, medium and small surprises when the Conf Tourney's begin and finish. This is the time of year that truly makes NCAA Basketball so much fun - no way to predict some of the surprises we will endure between now and selection Sunday.

Just a reality that if you want to be in the NCAA tournament there are 20+ must win games. Yes the Fordhams and Daytons are equally must wins in college basketball.

Its not the NFL where 7-9 can win the AFC South and then make a run at the AFC Title game.

At least the tv coverage should start on time.

Go Rhody!

Alaa Adelnaby on the call. Very good IMO. He was a good player for Duke for those of you who may not know.

lot of energy early---14 points n the paint--need to defend the 3 ball which rhody normally does

Hands on LG?

Down year across the board. Not a traditional year. URI can play their way in.

Outside of the winning out and make it deep in the A10 tournament people, which I count myself among.

I think that if URI wins out, they will have a big chance to win the A10 tournament because confidence is key. They would have a little mystique. VCU drops the URI, Dayton, then George Mason game and URI is #2. That sets up VCU playing Dayton and URI having a clear road to the final with a Richmond/Bonnies/type team in their way.

Im hoping for that to happen.

It would mean seeing stuff we haven't seen. When is the last time URI had a 5-7+ game winning streak? Dan would have to take a step forward. The confidence would pay off in years to come if they can believe from experience that they are that good.

martin 2 fouls yet again--smh

Love the JT i am seeing and the one I thought would be the man. Where have you been

JT has come to play tonight!!!lets go

any video links??

Nice play forJT!!!

Cyril contributing.....Martin with bad decisions again tonight

JT should not be resting when in the zone....wtf

JT came out on fire, it is time to take him out, absolutely. Why should things change now.

.....he shoulda given coach the hand to mouth, feed me thing..,,

Go rhody!!!

LETS GOOOOOOO UP 10 NO LETDOWNS CMONN

Looking a lot like a tournament team! Proud to watch these guys play! (especially JT)

Too many outside shots......get Iverson in the high post or Akele

Again we have opportunity to dispose of a team and its only 10. LaSalle is not good and awful tonight , but we cannot take advantage. Aggrevating

Love to see the hustle and the fight in this team right now... too bad they don't always play like this...what could of been
Now for the all important 2nd half.

NICE D Rhody!

Playing with confidence and a little swag. Something this team needed a dose of.

RHODY has to bring the same intensity in second half n not have a mason like meltdown

They STILL tried to get EC the last shot. WHY????

.....anyone at 210 Oyster Bar?

John Rothstein has us as last four in . Whateeeeever I'll take it, and I'm a Hurley fan again, shoot me if you'd like haha. Amazing how much more confidence you can get from a good half of basketball! JT! Give that man the ball everytime.
