Definitely not making the NIT semis. No one cares about the NIT. I would say the back to back NCAA tournaments. Maybe the game against Oklahoma in the tourney

Hands down it’s beating VCU in the A10 title game to go back to the NCAAs for first time in almost 20 years.

I kind of separate best "moment" i.e. one spot from one game moment. For "event" I agree with BAR above. For moment, I would say either the Terrell 3-pointer from the logo or the Fatts steal and 3-pointer in Trae Young's face during the OK game. Those were emblematic of how exhilarating Rhody basketball can be and what we lacked earlier in the decade. I suppose you could pick from a regular season buzzer-beater, but the magnitude of the NCAA Tourney stage puts these on top for me.

I agree with BAR about the '17 A10 Championship game. That was a special moment. Although news that CFL was let go was a pretty good moment.

Hearing Reggie Miller say.. “oh don’t do it to him like that Fatts!” after Fatts took Trae Young’s cookies and then dropped a 3 on him to extend the lead.

I'm with BAR on beating VCU in the title game. Remember it is NCAAs or Bust!

EC hitting those free throws to go up 7 with 19 seconds left and the camera pans to Jared Terrell whose got this excited and intense look on his face.

Then being like "Oh my god this is really happening"

Tears

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 4 years ago

I’ve only been around for 80% of the decade, but I feel like I didn’t miss much in those first couple years.

Winning the A10 tournament-

The win against Creighton is a close second. But, that picture of Jarvis and Jared is forever perfect. I saw Jarvis’s twins on Sunday- they really are the cutest little kids. There are moments from games that I love- EC’s dunk against Davidson, for example, but getting back to the tournament meant so much to a lot of people here, so it’s definitely my favorite.

Best Basketball Program Moment

Hiring of Dan Hurley

Very much needed at URI to bring in a HC of his caliber, pedigree and potential

https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com ... an-hurley/

Best Game Moment

Beating #21 Ranked Nebraska in OT for URIs 1st win over a Top 25 Opponent since December 21, 1998

Ended a long dormant period of URI Basketball from Jim Harrick to Dan Hurley

For the OMG factor of the play itself, combined with the stakes, Stan’s coming out of nowhere to block that Davidson breakaway layup does it for me. We were about to lose that game and, most likely, our season but for Stan.

And, of course, our beatdown of the mental hospital this month.

Four lighting up Brown to erase a huge deficit was a fun moment!

Urifan91 · Unread post by **Urifan91** » 4 years ago

I know I posted one already but another of my favorite in game moments this decade was the last regular season game in 2017 vs Davidson. Game went to OT and with about a minute left EC drove the lane, rose up and dunked it home. The Ryan Center roof nearly blew off and Rhody held on to win. I remember saying at the time I wasn’t sure if EC could still do that as he had returned from injury that year and I had not seen him attack the rim like that!

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 4 years ago

We are missing so many highlights!

The Nebraska game with JT's shot.

EC's three against Cinici.

How about the first time we beat VCU with Hurley? Where Jarvis hit 10-10 on free throws to ice that tough win in the beginning of that winning streak that saved the program.

That was a HUGE win. I dont think any of us thought we could pull that out and we did and from that moment on we couldn't be stopped. I have never seen highlights of that ever.

Then there's the Davidson OT game. No highlights of that.

I can still hear the sound that was made when he slammed that ball through the hoop. Trying to dig up the replay now.

If we had WON the NIT maybe it would have been a candidate.

We blew the semis to NC by going 2-6 from the line the last 2 minutes.

We owned Dayton at the time who we would have played in the final. We never got the chance.

steviep123 · Unread post by **steviep123** » 4 years ago

For individual in game moments, I have the aforementioned passing clinic against Richmond:

As well as the EC Matthews 3 followed by the "Don't do it to him like that Fatts" steal and 3 against Oklahoma in the 2018 NCAA tourney

Also, Terrell's game winner vs. Seton Hall is up there.

But winning the A10 Tourney in 2017 to get to the tourney for the first time in 19 years was the biggest for me. Seeing Terrell and Garrett embrace (as posted by ace earlier) really encapsulates it the culmination of Hurley's rebuild over the previous several years.

Bill Koch · Unread post by **Bill Koch** » 4 years ago

This is it for me. The 2017 NCAA return -- and it created momentum that carried into the following year.

Winning a regular season title was likely a greater achievement. But the A10 tournament ended once and for all any URI frustrations that had built up over 18 years.

Yeah that’s a great feeling Billy to end the drought of 18 years then we won a game by beating a Creighton awesome stuff
