We covered!
Really nice showing!
Wagner isn't a bad team. This was a nice tune up before NW.

Use the practice facility, practice free throws and I'll feel better but we took care of business.

Ok, this team would have beat last years team by 30. Just need to shore up the FTs! So nice to see good basketball again!

Tough look on TV when half the crowd is filing out during Foumena’s last dunk.

Good win! 3-0! We will be in the thick of things in the A10. No one better sleep on us.
We didn’t shoot well from 3 or the line but still won comfortably against our best competition to date. However, we will need to play better to win at Mohegan.
Let’s gooooooooooooo

A convincing 16 pt win. Many different scoring options. We fixed the rebounding. We fixed the sluggish finish. Now fix the FTs and we're cooking with gas. Going to be a fun year.

Honestly a good way to look at it. Much improved team, now obvious we are well inside the 300's. Next goal is to be comfortably inside 200's because that was far from guarantee when we came out of last season.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
Re: 11/14 | Wagner | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
This Rams team is legit . Even though they didn't have their best offensive game tonight and they missed a few in close and only 2-10 from three ,
they easily covered the 9 point spread . I had them as at least a 12 point win and they did do that . I think the odds makers are going to catch on to this team soon but they haven't yet . After watching Northwestern against Dayton on their Evanston home court , I believe URI will be be competitive and
may be able to knock them off . Will probably need to hit more free throws and be better from three .

One thing I like about this Rams team is that we're not relying on 1-2 guys to carry the team. Fuchs and Brown were off today, but others picked up the slack. That's OK.

Just back from the game. Nice start to the season. We handled the press pretty well all night. That was a concern for me going in. Team is getting better each game. Mohegan is going to be fun!!!!

We got legit 5 guys that can handle the rock. Again the talent upgrade is phenomenal.
Foumena might actually be able to play.
Bricklaying at line needs cleaning up.
Any idea why Council got benched? Anyone near the Wagner bench see anything? Weird.
Students are pretty engaged which is promising too!

Key to this team reaching its ceiling is secondary scoring from Weston/Always/Cam. If those 3 can combine for 10+ points a night, we’ll be hard to beat

It's just refreshing to not have to think, "oh no, he passed/dribbled/shot it, now we'll never see the ball again until we're taking it out of the net..."

Fou had a great game. He missed a couple easy shots in the second half when he got tired but he had a great all round game. Overall, rebounding was much improved. Not many 3 point opportunities but it seems everyone is strong in the paint. Balanced scoring and unselfish play is nice. Missed FTsbgive me ulcers b

Re: 11/14 | Wagner | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
I think my favorite part tonight was Jaden House.
20+ points first two games, got any shot he wanted.
2 early fouls tonight, sat for the majority of the first half.
Some scorers would come in and start chucking to get their points.
House entered the game, played as if he had 0 fouls and let the game come to him.
Did not force the issue whatsoever and got his points in rhythm.
Zek’s been my guy since we signed him, an athletic freak. Probably a better player than Lamonte Ulmer already who I compared him to a week ago.
Kortright coming around.
Going to need everyone’s A+ game on Saturday.

Seemed like Wagner never got an offensive rebound. Surprised to see they even got 7 offensive rebounds.
$2 hotdogs didn't bring the crowd. Was smaller than for Central Connecticut and Fairfield.

And will be even smaller for JWU.
Attendance going the literal opposite of how it should after winning three in a row.

On the ride home I was thinking about the last time I genuinely enjoyed watching a URI team as much as I have enjoyed these last few games. The Hurley years certainly. Those were some great defensive minded teams. But I have to say, watching a team who can score is enjoyable!
