KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

.......Team Rankngs gives us 27.5% to win....l

I’ll be there with 5 friends, let’s get this done!

I am hoping we are going to see the team improve every week. They improved in several areas this last week.
Still need to reduce the turnovers (assist to turnover ratio is key) and the three point shooting.

If they continue to improve this week, they can beat WV.

Will be interesting to see how Langevine does matching up with Konate. Definitely a step up in competition level for him, so should be a good one to watch.

I don’t think Cox can expect as much out of Cyril against the WV front court. Need more out of Jeff and Fatts.

This is going to be fun, hopefully we have a similar crowd to the cinci game.

The two day HOF tournament at Mohegan Sun (cap 9,323) in 2016 drew a total of 18,308 for an average of 9,154 for each date. Given that field had three ranked teams including Duke and a more heralded URI team, I doubt you will see numbers anywhere near that next Sunday. I am not sure you will even see a crowd like the 7,111 that saw URI beat Oklahoma State back in 2010. My guess will be in the the 4-6k range. Will be interesting to see how many Dayton fans will be there for their game as they are a group that travels well. I do not expect a big number of fans from either West Virginia or Tulsa.

I'm hoping we see the continued improvement of this team roll into Sunday. Would be a great boost for the team and the fan base for a competitive game, let alone a W. I'll be there Sunday hoping for the best.

Still not a fan of game threads started without any splash. Makes the board look cheap.

This game could play in the 50s for us to have a shot. WVU hasn't looked great, but they are big, athletic and will play lock down D. All staples of Huggy bear. Will be a big test for Cyril and Jermaine against probably the best front line we see all year (Kanate and Ahmad). Go Rhody!

Don’t worry, I will fix this one. Plenty of time.

Amazing to me that people are so impatient but it’s coming from a good place, I guess.

I'll do them sometimes TP, but I need the time to research after the last game.

Game should be a good learning experience for the Freshmen. It will make for a nice small road trip to watch them take on a good team. I'm looking forward to it and it wouldn't surprise me if a player like Martin ends up performing well in this game. If there is one thing I noticed about that game video against Cam Reddish is that he can start off a bit slow, but once he gains just a little bit of confidence he can be quite the force.

My wife, her sister and my daughter will all be with me for this game. We will be there rooting for my daughter's Alma Mater, Uri
and Dayton, Alma Mater of my wife , her sister and myself. WVU has been less than impressive so far so who knows ?

Yeah I am not expecting a win but I hope we give them all we can handle and have a shot to pull off the win in the last 5 minutes

Yes, he’s done several. The thing is, if you prepare the top post the way we want it, it takes a little time and it is also information-based and that information is not always available so long before the game. I also get that people want to start talking about the next game as soon as the previous one ends. I have a couple ideas about how to appease the anxious fans and have the game threads formatted the way that we want it, but unfortunately my personal/professional life is severely limiting the time I can spend here compared to previous years so I haven’t had the time to implement it. Hoping I’ll be able to commit a little more time during the second half of the year.

Anyone know why Aris "The Greek God of Fouls" Tsourgiannis was not dressed in the last game. He was wearing a gray sweatsuit.

They decided they could save having to put his uniform through the wash if he didn't dress.

I just posted the same about Aris in his recruiting thread......glad we beat Holy Cross without him....let's see how the next game goes...

TruePoint is correct in that doing a good opening "splash" requires work. My suggestion is use a thread to list the Rams' schedule opponent by opponent and then ask for volunteers for each game. Once that assignment list is established then publish it as a "stickie" and remind each poster via private message of their duty well in advance of the game. You can give them a guideline format or you can list items that must be included and let each poster use their own creativity to go from there. Surely the number of KB fanatics agreeing to do one or two games can easily be found. The beauty of this is you don't have to wait until next season, you can start with the Diamond Head Classic opener and then Middle Tennessee. I can commit now to doing the Middle Tennessee game.

Done. Obie, you get Midd Tenn.

Last year Native volunteered to help me with some games. I have a template I’m happy to provide to anyone that wants to volunteer for a game. Obie, I will PM you that template in the coming days if you’re interested (another approach could be to copy the format out of an existing game thread that you like, but that’s up to you).

As far as a list, it’s a good idea. We will definitely consider it.

I have two tickets in section 27 C seats 1 and 2 really good sets I don’t think I make it. I paid $35 each for them. I would need to transfer them or overnight them to. DM me if interested

I’m worried about Harris and fouls in this game. WVU is a physical match-up, and they need him and Cyril on the court as much as possible.

Any word on whether this game will be televised? That Stadium stream is slower than an old man taking a leak...

It's on CBS Sports Network

One thing I've noticed this year is that our schedule isn't really up to date with video information and I've had to go to the other team's schedule to see the video arrangements for games

I've done some work for the tribe and they hooked me up with some pretty good seats and a room the night before. Lets goooooooo Rams!

Oh trust me, I am careful-- we're good. Don't want to have to call NiRoPe for a couch clean.

I am buying my tickets today. Does anyone know which bench will the Rhody bench? Not sure if I saw it anywhere else in this thread.

I bought 4 tickets for the WVU game when I bought my season tix. I have 1 available. I'm picking the tickets up at will call at the Mohegan Sun on Sunday. I paid $46/seat which was the option for the best seats. I will call the ticket office later this afternoon to see if they can tell me exactly where the seats are.

I will take the first fair offer for the one seat. Please direct message me if interested.

seats are Section 25 Row Q. Should be in lower section between foul line and half court. And the tickets were actually $55 each.

Yes, at the very least during the Providence game

WVUs Stats

They force a lot of turnovers but make more. Statistically the are a much better shooting team than us. We will have to shoot well, limit our turnovers, and play tough defense to have a chance.

They’ve lost two of their three games on neutral courts and the other at home. They have had played no true road games to date.

If any alumni r gathering beforehand let me know I’ll be driving up from NY at 9am n have a room for night! I’ll be n my Lamar Odom jersey i got off Chinese website— wore it to Fordham game last year let’s go rhody!!

Nice I got an Odom jersey off a Chinese web site too good stuff
