[Jersey77]

They are coming off a nice win against the Bonnies after their first 2 conference loses.

I think this game will be ugly and I could easily see them blowing us out.

Our team currently lacks confidence and curious to see how Cox responds and if he is able to get them motivated enough to turn things around.

Let's see how this staff game plans and if they decide to change things up, whatever we have been doing as of late obviously hasn't worked.

[steveystuds06]

Someone tell Cox that Javon Bess graduated two years ago so he's not prepping for him.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Definitely agree about Johnny V.

[steviep123]

As disappointed as this season has been, I will be watching Wednesday night and probably mad at myself on Thursday for staying up too late. Not that 11pm or so end is that late, but if things don't change and they have a poor game, I'll be awake thinking about it until 1 or so.

I have a feeling your gonna need to take some sleep aids

I hope someone tells them Tre Mitchell is out.

[RI_Bred]

Watch, URI will blow them out...

[Rhody15]

What a miserable two hours this is going to be.

[phipsiGD'11]

If we are going to have the slightest chance of winning this game, we have to make it a complete rock fight. I am fine with using our wing players as machines, since they aren't adding much in the points/assists category.

Would love for someone to step the F up and produce at the wing position for us.

[reef]

Think Bills win by 10 may be close to the spread

[theblueram]

Watch, URI will blow them out...

That's not going to happen unless Cox runs out of timeouts.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Think Bills win by 10 may be close to the spread

I think many will be surprised if it's within 15. On the other hand, if they win...crank up the auto-bid train.

Nah, we're too jaded to get excited if URI wins. I think it's much more likely that people will be more frustrated with the team if they win. More frustrated because it would be proof that this team has the talent to compete at the top of the conference but squandered this season.

Yup

[ramster]

Saint Louis -10 points

[reef]

It’s 8.5 on the overnight please come back Luke !!

[ramster]

Seeing SLU -9 this morning

[Jersey77]

I would stay away from any bets on this game

[section(105)]

......Fatts?.......game time decision?......my guess he plays, probably starts......no?

[ramster]

[PeterRamTime]

Here's some positivity

GO RHODY!

Screw SLU!

Go Cox! Wake up! Become the coach you need to be overnight wooo!

[SmartyBarrett]

......Fatts?.......game time decision?......my guess he plays, probably starts......no?

They're using him in social media promos so my guess is he's playing.

[rambone 78]

As I remember Baron used to say "We gotta get better" a lot.

Sounds like Cox has taken a page out of JB's "playbook".

On this board a bunch of us have ideas on how to get better, like actually playing our best players most of the time, and sitting the ones who aren't.

Simple right? Not to our HC.

For once I feel like the fans know more than the coach. If Cox wants to make a run he HAS to change his ways TODAY. Which means playing the best guys and sitting the ones who aren't doing shit on the court.

[section(105)]

........honestly, even though we might win the game, I do not expect to observe anything different in the coaching......

[RI_Bred]

........honestly, even though we might win the game, I do not expect to observe anything different in the coaching......

I would tend to agree with that. It's not like Cox is going to suddenly radically change his style (or lack thereof).

[section(105)]

...Fatts starts, not AB, Ish starts, according to radio guys....

[DeanDome88]

I might just be a glutton for punishment but I am looking forward to this game.

[Urifan91]

...Fatts starts, not AB, Ish starts, according to radio guys....

That would be a nice adjustment

[RI_Bred]

Can't be just a fair-weather fan! Go Rhody!

[adam914]

I like the lineup change. Lets hope Ish never looks back.

[DeanDome88]

Mitchell wants to jack 3's now?

[phipsiGD'11]

AB and Harris shouldn't be in game at same time.

Nice 3 again by Sheppard

[RI_Bred]

Betrand subbed right in damn...

[DeanDome88]

I liked the jab step before he launched it.

[PeterRamTime]

Let's just let Sheppard shoot everytime

[PeterRamTime]

Cox was listening to us!

[Blue Man]

Betrand subbed right in damn...

Lol should our request been more specific like “less minutes” because starting doesn’t matter if scrubs are getting 20+ a game

[NYGFan_Section208]

Sweet, that 3 puts 'em back on pace to more than a point a minute...

[DeanDome88]

What is with the video?

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Don’t think we have to worry about anyone Walker or anyone else having a career night tonight.

[phipsiGD'11]

AB, Harris, Malik should never be a thing

Betrand finally hitting a 3. Love it! Let it be the start of a trend.

[URI_05]

Betrand finally hits a shot but he's completely lost on D

[kmillr]

Cox would take Goodwin out now.
His time is up!!

[RhodyKyle]

13-0 run. No TO.

[DeanDome88]

I thought Cox called a timeout for a second, but no.

[Blue Man]

It really does amaze me that Dave can let a 13-0 run happen and not call a time out. Like it’s actually impressive to lack a pulse for the game that poorly and be a D1 coach.

[RI_Bred]

Maddening.
