Well, the regular season mercifully comes to close in Philadelphia as the Rams take on Saint Joseph’s. the Hawks look to make it a sweep over the Rams as the women’s team shocked URI Friday night in the A10 tournament. Saint Joseph’s has lost 7 in a row & after another disappointing season, coach Billy Lange is probably on the hot seat. The Hawks are locked in for the bottom four teams while URI with a win & a UMass loss they could avoid the Wednesday tournament games. 3 of their 4 conference wins have been at home for Saint Joseph’s. The Hawks have 4 players averaging double digits in scoring, led by Jordan Hall’s 14.2. If the Rams are looking to build confidence prior to the A10 tournament, playing the Hawks will help their chances of getting the win. Will it happen…ummm…probably not. I am predicting a sloppy close game. Final score Saint Joseph’s 67 – URI 65. Go Rhody!!

Hall and Funk will be too much 69-67 St Joe

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Joes suck. We suck worse.

[Rhody72]

I remember reading an article where Reiss talked about winning the A10 tournament to the make the NCAA tournament, and thinking that a coach should never look beyond your next opponent.

Remember you said Reid’s should coach the women AND the men next season?

At least you weren’t the only one who actually wanted Reid’s to coach the mens next season.

Can’t believe posters actually thought that.

This is the thread for the men's game this afternoon.

It’s hard for him to keep up on things.

Most things, actually.

I realize no one really cares about the game, but St. Joe’s will be without their second leading scorer.

I bet within minutes of tip off, if not before, the announcers will talk about what a big game this is.

And how strong the A10 is this year

[Jersey77]

The only thing it would help us to avoid playing on Wed.
Doubtful UMass wins at GM.

Wow pretty big news and may be why URI is now -1

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Once again, no URI audio on the Varsity Network thingie. St. Joe's comes through loud and clear. Typical URI.

It’s URI -2 now Reef

[Rhode_Island_Red]

That could be a red card for Walker.

[rhodysurf]

St joes with the best defense I’ve scheme for URI, just leave them open from three and let them throw bricks

[steveystuds06]

When I envisioned Walker starting I thought it would be with Makhel. They seem to have a good connection together.

[theblueram]

After watching Davidson vs Dayton, this is like watching HS basketball.

[eli#10]

Walker was horrible vs St Louis and he starts today. He and Martin should not be shooting 3s but the coach let's em go. Walker now goes o for 2 with a flagrant foul. Way to go..............

[reef]

Taylor Hall not starting and Funk out come on URI get a win here

[steveystuds06]

Ugh I hope everything is ok

[reef]

Looks like a medical issue with a Jordan hall family member

[theblueram]

Hope everything is ok.

[reef]

Of course that dopey Hawk is flapping his wings

[eli#10]

Martin now has made 2 out of his last twenty 3's. Walker 3 out of 13 in his most recent free throws but shoots 2 3's right out of the gate this afternoon. As we all know Cox has no control.

[reef]

14-13 Joes. 1121

Bassy giving us some decent minutes Ish L a big disappointment

[NYGFan_Section208]

Is it page two yet?

[section(105)]

Is it page two yet?

I will help………

[PeterRamTime]

Ish El-Amin with his usual quick points and now the disappearing act.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Now the idiot announcer just read the Frank Keaney stat. Ugh.

[steveystuds06]

14-13 Joes. 1121

Bassy giving us some decent minutes Ish L a big disappointment

Ish is working his ass off. He missed two shots after battling for two offensive rebounds. I’m not gonna get upset at that

[rhodyrudder]

Where the heck is EA?
He’s the only guy who can score…

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Our guards are so puny.

[steveystuds06]

Thomas with some solid minutes. Should have had a couple of other assists if we could finish…

[eli#10]

Can Cox be fired at halftime or better yet right now

[reef]

20-16 Joes. 706

Antwan a no show again

[Rhodyhooopz]

Makai off to another hot 0-3 start.

God please end this nightmare

[KevanBoyles]

Martin now has made 2 out of his last twenty 3's. Walker 3 out of 13 in his most recent free throws but shoots 2 3's right out of the gate this afternoon. As we all know Cox has no control.

My guess is that he is throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.

Would like to see Ish L take more 3s instead of taking it amongst the trees

[reef]

Now the idiot announcer just read the Frank Keaney stat. Ugh.

This is so annoying singing the praises of Cox when he about to get his pink slip

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Joes suck. We suck worse.

As I was saying ...

[Rhode_Island_Red]

When you feel as though you have to talk non-stop for two hours, you'll read anything put in front of you

[rhodyrudder]

“Wouldn’t know these teams were struggling if you didn’t have their records in front if you…I’m enjoying this game.”

What?!?

[KevanBoyles]

We are watching the final couple of swirls of the Cox flush.

[rhodyrudder]

That was not goaltending .

[reef]

28-22. SJU. 255

Another uninspired URI effort vs a crap team

[KevanBoyles]

Getting blown out. We are hitting the bottom.

[steveystuds06]

I forget who it was, but someone said that any guard could pass the ball like Thomas. If you don’t see how he makes the right pass and puts players in great spots, you’re freaking blind.

Good things happen when he’s running this offense. He’s one of the only positives of this joke of a season.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Even Cox has thrown in the towel. He hasn't called any timeouts.

[steveystuds06]

Our call out of the timeout is another Mitchell holding the ball and throws up a contested jumper. How clueless is David Cox!!!

This team needs a new head coach…
