A-10 Tournament Semifinal - Dayton - Saturday 4pm
I just wanted to start this because that title is so fucking beautiful.
The amount of tequila still in my system, and the amount of rhody fans in Brooklyn are making life awesome.
No matter what happens tonight...this team has exceeded my expectations, and I am fucking THRILLED that we even have this opportunity.
I know there's usually a scouting report here, so:
They're well coached and move the ball extremely well.
They don't have a guy over 6'6.
They had a grinder with St Bonaventure.
They're not at UD arena.
Fuck them. This is the Hurley Era. We win shit now. Go Rhody.

If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

I'm thinking about taking the train in from CT. For those of you who are already down there, do you think I can get tickets at the arena, or should I try to get them in advance?

Re: A-10 Semifinal vs Dayton
Atlantic 10 Standings
Davidson (14-4) 24-6
Dayton (13-5) 24-7
Rhode Island (13-5) 22-8
Virginia Commonwealth (12-6) 24-9
So here we are, right in there with the Elite of the A10 - had to post the records since they look so great with URI in the Elite of the Conference
Identical record in A10 play with Dayton
We owe them one for the loss at Dayton
Our defense last night was as ferocious and as relentless as I have ever seen it - just amazing how our defense has become
Win today, win tomorrow - it URI's weekend in the world of College Basketball
No excuses, no whining, just win

Re: A-10 Semifinal - Dayton - Saturday 4pm
After last night we're 5-0 this season when we play a team a second time. That's good coaching and a good job by our players to adjust. Now let's get win six today

Re: A-10 Tournament Semifinal - Dayton - Saturday 4pm
Not to harp on the obvious, but to win today:
1. Rebound better. Giving up 2nd chance opportunities will not work against Dayton.
2. Stay out of foul trouble. If Hassan Martin is missing the majority of the first half again it will be very tough.
3. They cannot keep missing as many free throws as they have been.
4. That being said, I loved the gameplan last night of driving to the basket time and time again. Dayton is not as deep as GW so if they can get Dayton into foul trouble they'll be in good shape.
5. Keeping the fouls down will help limit Minnis and Reischel's minutes. They cannot beat a team of Dayton's quality with those two playing extended minutes, particularly Reischel. Dayton is 6 deep and for URI to be as effective as possible they need to be 6 deep with the others only seeing limited time.
6. Calm down. Playing out of control could have cost them last night's game and will cost them today's game if they're giving extra free throws from technical fouls to Dayton. I love Hurley but he's going to get himself ejected one of these days if he doesn't relax.

Have to stop the dayton fast break off made buckets by us. No celebrating get back on D immediately. I'd love to see us screw with them and go to the zone at some point for a possession or two if it works stay in it.

This game is going to be a war. I expect URI to wear Dayton down just as they wore down GW.
As long as they don't get behind early. I think they can maintain a lead in the second half early on,
then pull away and win by 6-8 points

Re: A-10 Tournament Semifinal - Dayton - Saturday 4pm
I think Rhody was a new person inside the costume.
Dayton will NOT do whatever they want, like they did in
Dayton!
Very different team outside of their home arena.
For the umpteenth time, it would be nice to keep Hassan
and Terrell out of early foul trouble.
This seems to have become the norm, rather than the exception,
unfortunately.
Someone needs to control Pollard. That kid gets better by the game.
If we defend the 3 like we did last night, we should win.
Dayton got taken down to the final minute, so they won't be fresh.
Should be interesting.
I hope VCU beats the crap out of Davidson and Kolonoscopy.

I'm with you Rod. Davidson has become my favorite team to hate. For whatever reason they get every call and every break
I'm beginning to think it is a racial thing because they are almost all white, but that most likely is my paranoia

I think it's because they're not Tyler Hansbough, Doug McDermott, Domantas Sabonis,
white guys, but little skinny weeny white guys.
So, the refs look at them falling down, and react.

It's as if the refs think that that they're a bunch of choir boys who couldn't possibly commit a foul. They're becoming our league's Duke (without the history, of course).
