Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Good point.
Look, they let three guys that came here walk,
this spring.
Add Oneykaba, and it's four.
Aaman and Hare were kind of different cases.
Still, six players in three years.
Is it poor talent evaluation or lack of development (coaching?)
Interesting question, I think.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
I think it might be related to the rigors of being on a Hurley coached team etc. and the seeing little to no playing time.....I know it is not youth basketball, but all that work, effort and no reward, playing time for it.....gotta be a factor....no?

Can we bring back Hare or Iffy?
I wonder what Mike Powell would look like. He was never good. WE NEED A HERO!

We cannot get to where we want to go if this trend continues. We need to hit on recruiting or coach them up. Walkaways are not an option.
Walkaways retaining schollys is even more crushing.......
I coached sports almost 20 years - did I like every kid I drafted? Heck no but I found a way to figure out what made them tick and got the best out of them. If it meant a kid didn't respond well to my screaming at them I found another way to get them to play my way. It truly is not that difficult, the mind game part of getting somebody to do it your way is actually one of the great joys of coaching.
Winning is good too, we play to win the game.
Losing sucks at all levels....at least it does to me.

I'm here. Me and NYGFan208 talked to DH before the game...he said Rex will probably be playing tonight. This place looks exactly like my high school gym.

The past few weeks have served as an adjustment period and buffer between me hoping URI is a good team and me being happy we just have a team.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Great job on the press and got the turnover, just can't convert on the offensive end though. McGlynn really is a mess at this point, just not hitting anything.

Great representation in stands by Rhody fans.
McGlynn needs at least 12 shots in this game, great shooting background.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Jared Terrell's inability to make a lay up has become comical. It's like he's afraid of heights.

JT did a great job getting the steal, it just seems he has no confidence to take it right up to the rim, looks like he gets the ball and hopes he gets fouled

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Make that 3 on Thompson with an awful call but it's probably because Hurley just went nuts on the refs

Christion Thompson's defense has been very poor the entire season, he seems lost and slow on the floor and often it out of position. Defense should not be as hard as he makes it look.Seawrightspostgame wrote:Jared Terrell's inability to make a lay up has become comical. It's like he's afraid of heights.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Terrell and Garrett just can't seem to make many baskets this year. They are a combined 3-13 thus far vs Brown. They are a big part of why this team struggles.

Brown will hopefully start missing those miracle 3's. We need this game.

He has really been a disappointment this year. That last shot he took in the half was way off.
Brown is shooting 55% from the field and Rhody is a dismal 35%. We may very well be looking at a 7-6 OOC record unless URI can make baskets in the 2nd half. I suppose if we are to lose to Brown, this would be a good season for it. This Rhody team will not be either an NCAA or probably not even an NIT bubble team so a loss tonight won't matter much.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Berry is making plays....lol. Why does everybody shoot lights out against us?? Are D isn't that bad but it really is odd to me how teams make deep three's with someone in their face against us...unbelievable.

Its definitely a mental thing with Terrell. We really should get a shrink on staff...I'm serious!

Brown is definitely be going to key on Four in the second half. Who is going to step up offensively for us is the question.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
How do you take 15 more shots than your opponent in a half and find yourself down by 7? You can only do that by shooting like crap at 35%.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
We couldn't of played much worse and they hit a lot of desperation 3s we play better we should win but who knows if that will happen. Berry should get more minutes.. he can finish and his size alone helps with picks and rebounding. Don't play 4 guards with Earl put Berry in

If they don't pull this game out, I think a sub .500 season may not be out of the question. This season just seems to gets worse each day.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
It seems that opponents making 3's against us runs in cycles.
Right now nobody can miss. That will change at some point.
Of course if it doesn't the second half, we lose.
Terrell really is a mess. It doesn't seem like his head is in the game, and that is troubling.
He obviously has game when he's on. Just that he's hardly ever "on" much anymore.
His talent is being wasted.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Rhody is making Brown look like a top 25 team.
The Bears are shooting over 60% from the field and from 3pt land.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
I watch this team and how Hurley is on the sideline. He seems to be pressing, feels the season getting away from him and the team is pressing too as a reaction. Nothing is coming easy to this team right now, Hurley needs to enstill some confidence in these guys.

Re: URI @ Brown 12/30
Why do we still get the "we need to win this game" posts game after game? It should be obvious by now that its makes zero difference who we win and lose to this year, we are not going to the ncaa tournament and likely not the nit this year. Once again we find ourselves talking about next season, its just I didnt think we'd be having this discussion in December.
