I'm hyped to play at #7 Maryland right away!

Big game! Chance to show off what we got to a lot of people.

And what we perhaps, dont got.

Fitting to begin the year with this one. There isn't a single months we wont be playing multiple teams that will be playing deep into march.

Emmitt Holt looked his old self vs Stonehill
7-of-8 shots including 1-1 on 3FG
17 points
13 rebounds
29 minutes

If he’s back close to 100%, PC is going to be scary good.

I had posted recently that I had heard from some of my PC contacts that Holt was looking very good. Don’t be surprised to see him in the starting line up. He is in great shape and very excited about playing in this, his 6th season. Have a ton of respect for Holt.

I find myself generally disliking a lot of VCU fans but having a lot of respect for the program, especially now that Wade is gone. Good article on Evans- guy’s tough...

[Parente07]

Probably a shot in the dark, but does anyone have the 2017/2018 intro video at all - the one that that would play at the Ryan Center right before announcing the starting lineup.

Was it this one?

Need those times back in Kingston

I have it but I don’t believe it’s online due to copyright on the music.

I lost most of my respect for this kid after the Jeff scuffle in the hand shake line...he accused JEFF of flagrantly fouling him and couldn’t have been more wrong....

[TruePoint]

I think that’s probably a little unfair. He was dumb and wrong for that, but emotions run hot in those types of situations. One way or another, he’s a great player and tough as hell, so I respect him for that.

[wpbrown8267]

Have to remember these are 18-22 yr olds

They can overreact at times, he made a mistake, won't rip the kid for it

[PeterRamTime]

I dont blame him for being upset at Jeff.

I mean Jeff is a star on the Rhode Island Rams and the Rhody Rams had just won their sixth out of seven games against VCU.

Must be pretty frustrating.

[Rhody83]

I think that’s probably a little unfair. He was dumb and wrong for that, but emotions run hot in those types of situations. One way or another, he’s a great player and tough as hell, so I respect him for that.

Btw, VCU fans continued that problem confronting Jeff’s father at the A10 hotel. Totally classless. Jeff had to intervene to prevent it from escalating.

[DC_Rams]

Kid is like a 23-24 year old senior isn’t he?

I don’t condone idiocy. He was loud, obnoxious and wrong.

I despise poor sportsmanship. He was the poster boy for it.

The countdown of the top 144 teams by College Sports Madness continues. With Maryland having just been ranked #11, there are likely no other URI opponents left which are not yet listed. URI will play 14 games versus 11 opponents that have made this top 144 list. All but two games are versus top 64 teams. The average ranking of the opponent for the 14 games is 50.

Thought we were playing the LIU-Brooklyn Balckbirds.

However we are playing the SHARKS

Long Island University Sharks

Who just came into existence, technically, in July.

"The LIU Sharks are the result of the July 1, 2019 unification of the athletic departments which had previously represented two separate campuses of LIU, the NCAA Division I LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds and the NCAA Division II LIU Post Pioneers."

An excerpt of the wikipedia page.

We are dealing with a hybrid here folks, the likes of which nobody has ever seen until they step into the Ryan Center!

Coached by our old friend Derrick Kellogg

[Rhody83]

Rhody should bring out the old Kellogg sign with the slicked back hair.

[RF1]

With regards to VCU, there is only one current A-10 program that the Rams from Richmond have a losing all time record against - that one conference team is RHODE ISLAND.

[Taylor Swift]

Rhody should bring out the old Kellogg sign with the slicked back hair.

That was one of my favorites especially since he hated it so much.

For sure. I’m even surprised he would venture back into the Ryan Center

Still hoping/waiting on some more info on TV for many of the games. Hopefully same thing as last year with the ESPN+ broadcasts.

Here you go.....from GoRhody.com

2019-20 Cox/YurView Broadcast Schedule
Nov. 5 - vs. LIU
Nov. 19 - vs. Nicholls State
Nov. 27 - vs. Manhattan
Dec. 21 - vs. Western Kentucky
Jan. 5 - vs. Richmond
Jan. 15 - at Saint Joseph's
Jan. 22 - vs. Duquesne
Feb. 26 - at Fordham

KINGSTON, R.I. - Cox/YurView and Rhode Island Athletics have once again partnered to ensure that every men's basketball home game will be televised and/or streamed during the 2019-20 season.
Cox/YurView will broadcast six home games for the Rams, starting with the season opener against LIU on Tuesday, Nov. 5. All games being broadcast on Cox/YurView also will be streamed on the ESPN+ platform.
In addition to non-conference games against LIU, Nicholls State (Nov. 19), Manhattan (Nov. 27) and Western Kentucky (Dec. 21), Cox/YurView will carry Atlantic 10 contests against Richmond (Jan. 5) and Duquesne (Jan. 22).
Two more league games - road contests at Saint Joseph's (Jan. 15) and Fordham (Feb. 26) - will be carried by Cox/YurView, bringing the total number to eight contests.

As of now, there is no TV announced for the WVU game. According to the WVU website, the game will be carried locally on Root sports/AT&T Sportsnet (a regional sports network that covers Pittsburgh and West Virginia). Is anyone closer to how these things work and in a position to say whether this game may be picked up somewhere for URI fans, even online, since it is already being produced by the WVU-associated network? Perhaps Yurview would pick it up locally? The Patriots do not play that afternoon (they are on SNF). It would be a shame to not have this game on TV on a day that many sports fans will be sitting around avoiding the cold outside and looking for something to watch, and it would be ridiculous for URI fans to not be able to see one of the biggest games of the season in the year 2019 - especially those of us who are paying for ESPN+ which has a relationship with both the A10 and the B12.
