KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

All this talk about Koch.

Back to the game.

My X factor key to the game is Fatts.

If he can make a few 3's, and slow down Cartwright....URI will win.

Hopefully Dan gives him enough of an opportunity to do so....especially if JG struggles.

......exactly, the big game stage is not gonna rattle him.......think he will make major impacts, both ends of floor......

I think we put Stan on Bullock and how that goes will have a huge impact on the game. Personally I think he will do a great job on him.

this game is enormous for URI. we must win tomorrow or at Alabama or win the A10. remember where we were last year after OOC. we had 1 quality win (cincy) and losses to duke, at providence, Houston, and valpo. we were fortunate to be able to add a top 50 win vs. VCU at the end of the year just to be associated with "the bubble". we will not have that fortune this year. the a10 has horrible losses up and down. we will be lucky to add a top 75 win in conference and I just don't think 1 win out of conference is going to do it.

and despite what some on this board think, in my opinion, we will not be able to rely on the injury to EC to get out of jail. in order to use an injury, you have to beat good teams with that player being healthy. then when you lose games while that player is injured you can use the injury as an excuse...so long as he is healthy come selection time.

Let's go Rhody! Beat PC!

Rhody’s bigs need to contribute on D and rebounding to prevent second chances and a high FG% by PC from scoring in the lane.

So pumped as always. Have the childhood jitters of Christmas Eve. Love when we host. The electricity walking into the Ryan...the hum in the arena as you make your way to your seat. Love what Jarvis said about it...

"It’s bigger that Dayton, than VCU. You really can’t hear anything. You can’t hear coach say anything. You’ve just got to go out and play. It’s really on the players."

Time to start our own winning streak. Let's take care of business tomorrow. No excuses, get it done. LET'S GO RHODY!!!!

No talk about practice!!

We have a nearly 7000+ seat on campus arena!!!!

PC has a dump downtown!!

So they be getting a practice facility.....

So what??

FKNA

PC fans are the worst, and I meant the WORST, but saying the DD Center is a dump is outlandish. That's a high quality arena even if the fans who fill it suck. And now that they're gaining a practice facility this VERY well may boost PC to the next level.

Nonetheless...the RC is everything we could ask for (minus some minor improvements that will likely occur in coming years) I just don't wait to drop down to the dumb comment level that PC fans say.

I see URI using the crowd to their advantage...but if the refs get whistle happy, it won't bode well for us.

Fired up also let's get this done Rhody nation !!!

With their curriculum, they're a great, though massively overpriced, regional school for pumping out high school English and History teachers, CCD teachers and Renaissance Fair actors. For everything else, especially in the sciences, you're better off anywhere else.

Does PC even offer a hard science as a major? Maybe a science major such as chemistry or biology to be a teacher.

Chris DiSano is a must read.

The PC Journal does it again. Huge picture on the front of the sports page with a picture of Jarvis taking a shot over Bullock in last year's game. The caption under the picture says it's Jared Terrell. What an embarrassment. Koch must be really proud to work at that rag.

Wow, really? Paging RF1 to get the link to the print version...

They did it on purpose.
Cooley and Koch are having a good laugh about it.
Whatever, just win the game....

Good luck to Jared and Jarvis today. They are carrying the pressure of the past teams not winning. I hope they both have a great game that they will remember for the rest of their lives. Rhody Rhody Rhody Rams Rams Rams!

Still excited and nervous about today after over 50 years of watching uri-pc. If i could have two sports holiday wishes, one would be a big win today and two, if I could time travel with the younger posters back to Keaney in the 60's to watch THE game. Where students surrounded the entire lower section of the gym and they also brought in a football bleacher to squeeze a couple of hundred more into keaney. Talk about atmosphere. But we have a chance to have that atmosphere today. When you think it's loud, make it louder. For all the reasons I drive the hour and forty minutes, the main one is today. It's college basketball at its finest. In a way, we should be just as tired as the players (sort of kidding), but you get what I mean. As for a key of the game, it's a minor one but when we pressure their guards and force a turnover we need to finish the fast break. Based on our inconsistency at the foul line, make the basket! and not settle for one of two from the line. I have my "I bleed keaney blue" t shirt ready. Let's effin beat them!

Just saw Uri social media and students have been waiting in line for tickets since late last night. I love it. Go Rams!

I'm assuming they pick up a bracelet or something this morning then they can rest/recuperate/re'hydrate' for the evening tip.

Yes, Ruckus members were given bracelets yesterday. Other students, this morning.

Out of the country and looking for a way to stream this game. HELP !

There are usually a few sketchy sites that constantly stream CBS Sports Network. Use an updated browser like Chrome and ensure you have ad-blockers on. Be careful what you click. Don't install anything -- nothing required to stream video. I'm sure others will chime in.

You can stream on CBS sports website as long as you have cox or Verizon.

Otherwise there are sketchy sites that will pop up later.

Also I will hopefully upload a rip of the HD stream tomorrow at some point if everything works out

Somebody on twitter said some kid is trying to sell bracelets for 125 dollars.

And if you want to pay, you can purchase and use Foxy Proxy (it's something like $5 for a week) which will give you a US IP address so you can use US streaming services. Used it in Spain a few years ago and it was a life saver.

1. That kid is a dick.

2. If he isn't insane and that is the market, that's pretty cool.

Still pretty embarrassing and shows the lack of respect that we get from that rag, if you ask me.

This game was the talk of campus yesterday. many students were looking for an extra bracelets and faculty/staff who rarely go to games were discussing how they got mini plans specifically to go to this game. They are opening up to rams den as an overflow for students who didn't get tickets to the RC.

Go Rhody! Beat PC!

Depending on when they start/finish the distrib, could be a pretty quick turnaround to get in line again to get the best seats available?
Kudos to them, the school should feed those folks in line

Any witness to a capacity crowd at the Dunk versus the Ryan Center confirms their thuggish, low class. The Ryan atmosphere is so much more wholesome that what will you ever get at the Dunk. Besides PC is the perennial moocher. Remember the blowhard guy (so typical of PC fans) who came onto this board years ago to say that PC was going to build their own arena on the site of the Coca Cola plant and then got his panties in a bunch when he was called out on the claim. What happened to that plan?? just saying.

This is a pretty bold thing to say considering we just had a player and coach arrested

The number of players from that hideous, disgusting institution built on the site of a mental hospital who have gotten arrested (or should have but weren't) is a mile long.

Still waiting for the outcome of the investigation by that hideous, disgusting institution built on the site of a mental hospital into the attacking of Rhody in a Dunkin' Dump men's room.

It’s crazy, that pretty much is the what people are paying. Although he probably needs to sell it to another student so I’d assume his price is a little high for the average student.

I can only imagine what ticket prices will look like in coming years if both us and pc continuing doing well.

Rhody Pub might be the best bet. Traffic and parking at the Ryan Center are going to be a bitch after 4:30 or so.

My understanding is that students have to show their ID and bracelet to get in tonight, so the market should be students only or someone getting hosed

I'll be at Chop House. Mews post- if W.

Just checked out the PC scout forum. Multiple threads on the game and Ram hatred in general. Fun stuff.

There’s even a thread copy / pasting selected posts from this thread.

It’s good they hate us back!

You wonder why Koch never breaks any stories? If you were part of the URI program would you feed him anything? I know I wouldn't.

Practice facility? Civic Center?

Al Skinner was beating the friars playing in Keaney Gym while working out or a Single wide.

As for Kreskin Koch, let me recall a game or two from the past.
It was the last URI-PC game at Keaney Gym.
A so-so Rhody team, lead by Steve Rowell,
beat the great Marvin-Ernie Friars.
A Jack Kraft team with five wins, beat a very good
PC team at the PCC.
We beat PC by 44 points in game one of Sly's last year,
and lost by 8 in the rematch.
So, history tells us, that anything can and does
happen in this series.

I'll never forget that 44 point win. One of my most enjoyable games I've ever seen.

PC had 9 points with 2 minutes left on the first half in that game.

Sly had personally outscored PC. when he was
taken out of the game.
Idiots out in force.
Did you know a YUGE percentage URI students are really PC fans?
I'm sure there's a few, but surly not to the extent
that their board thinks.
Some wild comments on both sides. Ugh!
