No students. That makes it difficult to get 6,000+. I wish the students would show up in large numbers for this game but I dont think so.

Agree reef. Have not seen a lot of SLU so I can’t say whether they looked better than usual tonight, but you see some of these 150+ RPI teams and they look hapless and outmatched. SLU didn’t look that way to me. I get they only had seven guys, but I thought three of them at least are legit players and none of the guys I saw tonight were terrible.reef wrote: STL may be 180 RPI but they sure looked better than that to me.

fortunately they were a lot fewer in the 2nd half (though a couple of costly ones). They did more bounce passes, and drives. This is where not having someone of Kuran's or Martin's caliber hurt.URI'21 wrote:The lazy lob passes need to STOP
Looking at the EARLY LINE FOR URI VS SLU thread, many posters felt that the point spread was much too low, some referred to betting the house on it, so not surprising that people would have negative views on the results of this - many expected a runaway, blowout type win for URIBlue Man wrote:I really don’t get anyone who complains about a win.
For the umpteenth time..conference games are hard, no matter who you are. Conference games on the road are hard...no matter who you are.
Good teams are fully capable of losing to bad teams especially on the road. We didn’t lose the game. We found a way to win a close dirty game outside of our building on a night we didn’t play well.
The line was anywhere from 6.5-7.5. We won by 7. Sounds to me like we did our job.
And I am not so sure any of those were travels, and certainly the last one was not a travel, nor was it a travel in the last minute when EC hit a nice turnaround 15 foot fall-away jumper. The announcers, Len Elmore in particular, was jokingly questioning if someone had changed the rule book on what constitutes a travel -cRAM4finals wrote:I’ll haveto watch this again since I am away and could only watch a good part of the 2nd half. Lots not to be happy about of what I saw. More of the one on one crap from Dowtin and EC that I cringe at. We are so much better when we move on offense. Thank god St L travelled 3x in a row at the end. Could have been a choker. And any loss in this A10 schedule hurts. Such a weak conference and Bonnie’s loss wasn’t helpful.

How about a drive and a pass to the open guy once in a while. We need him to play better and smarter. You are going to have an off game once in a while but you need to play smart all the time. That applies to everyone. PLAY SMART.

If we were playing against a better team I think we would've stepped up our game and found a way - that's what this team does. Very few teams play their best game every game - but when they're not hitting shots and the offense isn't running smoothly they still find a way to win - and that's what we're doing. Finding a way to win, regardless of if our shots are falling, or if the other team is playing their best game of the year. You can't expect us to play our best every game - but you can expect us to compete and come out on top.Da_Process_Survivor wrote:Blue Man wrote:I really don’t get anyone who complains about a win.

All true, but this team is also past the point where we should be happy just because it was a W.
There's nothing wrong with legitimate critique of how they played, regardless of the result of the game. Yes, they won, thats great...they also looked like crap in the process and if they play that game against a better team that's a loss

Umm..no. You should always be happy because you got a win. What the fuck else is there to be happy about them? There are no perfect games. The only thing you get past as a good team, is taking positives from losses. Once you’re good there are no moral victories, only actual ones.Da_Process_Survivor wrote:Blue Man wrote:I really don’t get anyone who complains about a win.

That doesn’t mean that every win needs to be pretty...you just need to win. In fact, you could say that the most common streak in all good teams is the ability to win ugly games when nothing goes right or to plan.
Basketball is very easy to be a fan of, if you understand that no one finishes with a perfect season, everyone in the top 25 will have head scratching losses, and that getting wins in your conference are always good no matter how they looked.
I must say I do enjoy reading your legitimate criticism though...very hard hitting and insightful:
“fuck it, lose this damn game. maybe they'll finally get the wake up call that you cant go through the motions against anyone in conference play”
That is Hurley's mentality 100%, always room for improvement in different areas, but to Blue Man's point it can be a challenge in conference to win, and win consistently (which Rhody has done) on the road, no matter how ugly a win is. This isn't an apples to apples comparison but lookout at Duke up at BC earlier in the season, they played a crappy game and BC played one of their best, but point being is that BC in all likely hood will be at the bottom again of the ACC and Duke lost to a bottom ACC team. Again, ACC talent wise is on a whole other level than the A10, but my point is it is a challenge going on the road and winning consistently. That is what Blue Man i think is trying to get across and we should be happy to get W's. DH does expect a certain level of improvement and consistency, but you can't really expect our guys to go out smoke teams on the road like they did to GWDa_Process_Survivor wrote:sorry, but no. as soon as you get complacent enough to just be happy you won, youre screwed.Blue Man wrote:Umm..no.

look at the Patriots...never good enough, always believe they can improve, never happy with how they played. that's what builds sustained success. never be satisfied, never stop improving.

It is Dan's rule that he seldom changes from. You get two fouls in the first half and then you sit.Rhody_JAM wrote:Tough game to watch last night, but a win is a win. It is great to see Berry continue to improve. It is almost starting to feel like his mid range shots are automatic. Based on the midrange game I am surprised he does not have a better FT% at 67% (although that's not bad for a big).
Also, thought the commentators missed a few things. I know that EC gets overhyped at times, but I was surprised there was no mention in the entire first half of why he sat for 15 minutes in the first half. Had to look at the box score to check his foul situation. Seems like sitting that long took him off his game after a solid start. Additionally, on the late rebound and foul on Matthews to basically seal it they focused on after he landed and the bump. He was actually fouled before he landed on his way down with the rebound.
Sweet. I'll have to probably start recording the game/show after on my Hulu app to make sure this doesn't happen again.rhodysurf wrote:Im uploading it to youtube now... will be in processing for an hour or so though.

Worse performance of the year. SLU is a 180+ RPI team.
PC beat them by 27 on a neutral court.
LaSalle beat them by 23 at home.
Horrible offensive flow last three minutes. What are they running?
I'll try to ask during the after-show chat with Dan.ramster wrote:The Tech on Dan was questionable. This year the rules give 10 additional feet for the Coach's Box.
Dan claimed he was talking to Travis Ford.
The camera showed Ford shortly after the call and he looked as surprised as anyone that Hurley got teed up. Would be a good question for the next Coach's Show.
