Wow. great game by all. Really shared the ball. Cyril was a monster on the boards and scored as well. D played well. If I am not mistaken, URI held Mobley scoreless in the 2nd half.

And agree with 1980... down year or not, its unheard of to go to Dayton and VCU and decisively beat them both

So sweet. Got home from an event with about a minute left. About to watch the game on DVR now!! I was so nervous coming in, but to win both at Dayton and at VCU in the same season is special!

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)
I had this one as a one of the very few losses in my projections. What a game!! Great game by Cyril. I thought rebounding was going to be an issue. Boy was I wrong. Most impressive win in a while.

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)
And to think I was worried. I'd bet most of us penciled this in as a loss at the beginning of the season. VCU has some talent, but we are so friggin deep it doesn't seem to matter.

The Stanimal...continued...
Earlier this year, an ESPN story called him, "Tanford" Robinson, then, in a game, he was referred to as "Stanford Washington", and tonight...on ESPN...
Rhode Island: The Rams' winning streak coincides with Matthews' return from a broken wrist. In coach Dan Hurley's favored four-guard lineup, Matthews, Terrell, Jeff Dowtin and Stanford Russell also make it difficult for even defensively disruptive teams to cause ball security issues.

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)
Their best game of the season . They did everything right and continually hit back whenever VCU made any
kind of a run . You could see in the faces of the VCU players that they were becoming resigned to the fact
that it just wasn't going to happen for them tonight . Rhody had way too many weapons . I think VCU played
a great game too but it wasn't enough and they knew it . I'm not sure either team can play any better than
they did tonight . Now keep that focus for the week and take to Davidson the same way.

Luke, absolutely. I was worried about URI fatigue. By the end of the game, VCU needed the oxygen masks. I can't think of any of the good Rams who had a bad game ..... even Akele provided valuable minutes in the 1st half. Dre was in foul trouble, but I thought his fourth was a bullshit call and he was dominant offensively when he was in. Fatts is back and even Cyril became an offensive weapon. Just outstanding.

Can't say enough about their effort. I was watching in the first half, thinking their size was going to give us serious trouble. We beat the crap out of them off the boards! We out hustled them and out "havoc"d them. Beat them at their own game!

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)
We stayed so poised the whole game.
VCU just could not match us. Our defense played well and they were just too one dimensional on offense.
Cyril cleaning up the boards was so important.
We were ready to play man.
Fatts was also key. We just have too many good players!
After that It's hard for me to see any A-10 team beating us...

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)
Rhody just played its toughest stretch of the season with four of five games on the road. Won all five with three of them being by double digits. Two of the easiest wins were at Dayton and at VCU. This Ram team likes to rise to the occasion. It seems the better opponents bring out better play by URI.
Get some much needed rest for the final wind down of the season. Seven games left with four at home.

He said he wouldn’t use the term selfish but he said we did not pass the ball well and we did not take good shots and had guys “hunting” for shots which didn’t work well.
So there you have Jeff getting 10 assists, could have been higher as some easy shots were missed following passes from Jeff. We shot a season best 61.2% and needed all of that 61.2% to beat UMASS.
The impressive thing is how Hurley and staff made adjustments
I would expect similar adjustments to address rebounding Friday night with rebounding.......
URI is averaging 33.4 rpg
Our worst rebounding games have been:
Virginia-22
Dayton-26
Duquesne-24
UMASS-22
VCU-47
So 3 of our worst rebounding games have come in the last 4 games we have played.......
Of Our 4 key rebounders EC and Langevine missed the Virginia game
Vs Dayton EC had 7, Stan 3 and Berry and Langevine only 1 apiece = 12
Vs Duquesne EC, Stan and Langevine had 3 apiece and Berry had 2 =11
Vs UMASS Stan had 5, Berry 4 with EC and Langevine only 1 apiece = 11
Vs VCU Stan had 5, Berry 6, EC 5 Langevine 18 = 34
The previous game vs UMASS our rebounds were double with 44 versus this past Tuesday night. Stan and Langevine each had 12, Berry 5 and EC 2
It would be nice to have a strong rebounding effort Friday night vs VCU
Lets finish this out at 26-3.
Above is what I said earlier in this thread. Sure I was worried about rebounding, based on 3 of our worst rebounding games of the season had come in our last 4 games - then going against Tillman and Lane.
But earlier note that I said Hurley made adjustments with Dowtin to have him handling the ball more and controlling the game more because Dan said we had guys taking bad shots and spending time hunting shots. Then the rebounding has not been good and then here we go again - I do not know how he does it but I just had the feeling Hurley would make things change. But this kind of change was mind boggling, over the top
The big 4 rebounders you look for had 12 vs Dayton, 11 vs Duquesne, 11 vs UMASS and then huh? 34 versus VCU and Tillman and Lane and a hostile, sold out crowd? Langevine had 1 vs Dayton, 3 vs Duquesne, 1 vs UMASS - how in the world does he get 18 rebounds in 27 minutes and an impressive 12 points to go with it when he was so low versus Dayton, Duquesne and UMASS? Just amazing.
Certainly all the credit in the world has to go to Langevine tonight - he was the Player of the Game on the Post Game Show with Don Kaull.
But once again, Dan Hurley makes adjustments. We totally dominated the glass outrebounding VCU by an astounding 47-31 and 19-8 on the offensive glass. Absolutely mind boggling.
Dan Hurley is amazing. He continues to amaze even more. Heck with A10 Coach of the Year, he is in the running for National Coach of the Year in my opinion. Tonight was unreal. I can't wait to be in the Ryan Center against Davidson and for that matter Richmond as well.

Re: 2/2 | VCU Rams | 7PM (ESPN2)
Tonight was the highest rebounding game for us this year with 47
Next closest were UMASS and George Mason with 44
Tonight was the highest for Offensive Rebounding with 19 with the next closest being 18 vs Iona and Nevada
Langevine was unbelievable
The whole team played phenomenally well and credit the Coaching Staff a lot too
