Davidson with a pretty bad end of game possession as Gibbs threw up an off balance 3 pointer. It is not just us....
Going to over time.

Zdam if we had this dayton killer instinct we would be a 6 seed

Scoochie hits three treys in OT, Dayton leads by 7 with two minutes + left in OT.

Zdam if we had this dayton killer instinct we would be a 6 seed

Sorry this site is slow...have no idea why it repeated

Davidson shoots too many nba threes

Reminds me of our game against davidson

That's good that Dayton pulled it out

Jesus Marquette. Ultimate choke.

Fire Wojo.

Spoiler alert, I'm going to start tracking bubble games again

Marquette sucks, nothing impressive about that win for PC.

Jealous much? LOL

Well Marquette does suck. But it was impressive to hold them without a FG for the last 8 minutes of the game.

Yeah that 8-8 conference record really has me hurting.

It's the Big East, not the SWAC.
It's not like they play in a conference where they play 13 teams against teams with RPIs over 100 and another 2 barely hanging on...

It's all good though, good day to be a basketball fan in RI.

Well of course they don't, they can't even get 13 teams that want to be in the conference anymore.

Really! ! When was the last time URI beat a team that at the time was ranked number 1 in the country ? In fact when was the last time they ever even played a number 1 team?

Marquette is ranked #1 in the country? I think you might be looking at the wrong rankings friend.

Marquette beat the number 1 team in the country earlier in the year.

I listened to the PC game on my way home. What a dump they play in. Play had to be continually stopped because players were slipping and sliding all over the court because of the condensation from the ice. Players were falling down when they had the ball, but the refs didn't call travelling because of the condition of the court. I only heard the last 8 minutes or so, and they had to stop the game about 10 times in those 8 minutes.Even Rooke said he was wondering when the clowns were coming out because the place is a circus. It's a good thing somebody didn't tear up their knee at that joke of an arena. The Dump could have had a huge lawsuit on their hands.

My favorite part of this whole thing is that their team just had a nice win at home and all these two guys could think to do was come post on the URI message board.

Why is the Wooden Idiot even here? I don't get it.

Dump yep.

We have a beautiful on campus arena in fine display today!

Go Rhody!

I'd love to bang on PC, but it's not an uncommon occurrence in arenas where there is ice under the floor when the weather changes so quickly. Games have been cancelled because of it.

We have no basis to bang on PC. Cooley gets the most out of his talent, they overachieve, talent wise they aren't an NCAA team but he has them playing like one.

Not getting how this turned into a PC hate fest?
Seven in a row by them, over us.
Three NCAAs in a row and a 4th a possibility.
We look foolish, slamming their program.

I'm not slamming them. I just don't like them.

Gonzaga is no longer undefeated.
BYU beat them, 79-71 at The Pound.
Gonzaga has lost 6 games in 3 years there,
and BYU did it 3 times.
Also beat the Zags 4 years in a row.
BYU has a terrific big in 6'10" Eric Mika,
who can score from anywhere, and
isn't afraid to mix it up under the basket.
He had 29-11 tonight.

Yes that was a huge BYU upset great finish, Zags could fall to a 2 seed ??

Now we need all bubble teams to lose in case we win our next 4 and lose in the a10 finals

Get those bubble games tracked

All I said about PC is that they play in a Dump. Rooke said Cooley was pissed. He heard him saying stuff like, "A fucking floor is going to ruin our season" and something about " paying the fucking rent".

In yesterday's bubble action, using 131sports.com:

Last four in Providence won vs. Marquette 73-69
Last four in Illinois State won their final game of the regular season at Northern Iowa 63-42. They're the Missouri Valley #1 seed and play their first game of the conference tournament on Friday.
Last in Kansas State lost at Oklahoma 81-51
Second out TCU lost vs. #12 West Virginia 61-60
Fourth out Clemson lost vs. #19 Florida State 76-74
We're fifth out
Sixth out Vanderbilt won vs. Mississippi State 77-48
Eighth out Texas Tech lost at Oklahoma State 80-63

Bubble teams are now 51-43 in games I've tracked.

In today's bubble action:

Second out Georgia Tech is at #21 Notre Dame at 6:30 on ESPNU
We move up to third out after yesterday's win
Fourth out Houston is at Memphis at 5 on CBS Sports
Eighth out Illinois is at Nebraska at 7:30 on the Big 10 Network

Sunday action in the A-10:

La Salle at UMass. Game is underway, UMass has this game in hand as they lead the Explorers, 73-62, with about 3 minutes left in game.

George Mason at George Washington. GW leads at the half, 37-36.

In games involving URI OOC opponents:

Valparaiso at Northern Kentucky. Valpo is trailing the Kentuckians , 69-62 with about 5 minutes left in game.

Cincinnati at UCF. 3 PM. On CBSSN.

Marist at Siena. 4 PM. On ESPN3.

Houston at Memphis. 5 PM. On CBSSN.

Many of these power 5 schools and bubble teams, continue to lose.

GTech goes down to Norte Dame. That should bump us up a spot or 2
X goes down to Butler.....X should now be on the bubble:5 straight losses

Arizona St beats USC, USC won't be knocked out but they fall closer to the bubble

Bonzie Colson helping URI! Love that 1988 team now their kids are helping RHODY!

Most of the Brackets in bracketmatrix haven't updated since our win we should be in more than 50% of the brackets in the next couple days.

Take us home Hurley and THE MEN! PLAY SMART! NO F'N PRISONERS!

REVERSE THE CURSE!

GO RHODY!

Hurleys helping Hurleys.

After watching LaSalle puke at ZooMass today, I still wonder how we could look so bad against them at home.

I watched that game too. Mika was very impressive.

In the beginning of the game I thought maybe URI should try to get BYU in the Ryan center next year. Then at the end I figured it was too high risk and low reward. They are/will be very good.

Good point about X

Do they have any quality wins ??

What's their record v top 50 ??

They are 3-8 against the top 50.

8 top 100 wins.
It's odd seeing Xavier struggle.
Have to feel for them with their injury struggles though :/
