I hope all the seats are good, some of mine will be testing that theory!ramster wrote: ↑4 years ago It was still double our attendance
We get bad attendance and we feel the need to justify why is was bad. Attendance simply is what it is.
It’s surprising to me that 4,258 feels ok to any URI fan.
All good seats in the Ryan Center
In the Dunk those seats above 8,103 are bad. The Dunk was built for Basketball and Hockey. Might as well bring binoculars if your seats are in the end zones or upper levels.

Good game. Auburn tried to muscle Davidson, but it didn't work. I expect a great second half.

Re: Week #1 - Games of Interest
I see the Memphis side, definitely a case of looking backward by the NCAA. Being a non-P5 school I am hesitant to dunk on them also. I heard very little about Penny being a prospective coach until not long before he was named, so between the 2008 donation and that now could he have anticipated things going like they did?ramster wrote: ↑4 years agoMemphis fans are hot.

VCU trailed North Texas by eight and then went on 20-0 run to take a 12 point lead late in first half. GMU in full control versus Longwood. The Bonnies and Richmond are struggling in late in first half action.

Taking a little luster off the URI opening win, UMass Lowell hands Long Island U. a defeat on the Sharks home court, 87-74.
Also the Bonnies fall to America East favorite, Vermont, 61-59.
GMU blows early lead, but regroups to beat Longwood, 76-65.

Gudmundson, a Senior, and Grady, a Junior, needed to step up tonight for Davidson and neither did. A-10 does not get so many opportunities like this. Both Guards had mediocre games and a Top 25 win opportunity was lost.Rhody83 wrote: ↑4 years agoAre you saying I am a load of crap?rambone 78 wrote: ↑4 years ago Yeah who said they are the best backcourt in the country?

Re: Week #1 - Games of Interest
Let's not get carried away Ramstock . sure Davidson did not look good tonight nor did VCU, the Bonnies or any A 10 team for that matter,
but one bad game by these teams is not a strong indicator of how the entire season will go . Maybe you want to wait until game 10 for all
of these teams before you proclaim that the league is weak this season.

17th Ranked Utah State, playing in the Jamaica Classic with URI, LSU And University of North Texas, was favored over Weber State at home e tonight by 16 points
Utah State won by 55 points!!
89-34!!
Might be a good thing we drew LSU instead.

This is a big battle coming
Penny Hardaway helped the family move from Nashville to Memphis 2 years ago. BEFORE he was ever Coach at Memphis.
NCAA is saying it’s a violation because Hardaway is classified as a Booster because he gave money to Memphis back in 2008
NCAA declared Wiseman eligible several months ago
Wiseman has already played one game, tonight was his 2nd game
Today NCAA said he was not eligible - on game day!!
Hardaway and Wiseman spent the afternoon in court today.
Judge issued order that Wiseman could play tonight.
Fans at Memphis gave Wiseman a standing ovation tonight
Announcers of the Memphis game tonight were very critical of this NCAA decision. They said this could lead to the end of players having to play 1 year in the NCAA in College before going NBA.
Then NCAA came out saying Memphis will be responsible even though Judge ruled Wiseman could play tonight.
NCAA is in for a huge battle on this one it now appears.
From Memphis Newspaper Tonight:
Memphis knew for Their first game too and still played Wiseman then and again tonight.
Wiseman arrived from court today just 45 minutes before tip off. Hardaway says Wiseman will continue to play as long as Court decision is in place. Stay tuned!!

Re: Week #1 - Games of Interest
The Bonnies were without their big man and best player Osun Osunniyi tonight versus Vermont. He will be sidelined for several more weeks. Bonaventure has both a very weak in and out of conference schedule. They only play the projected top four A-10 teams once each and have no real high profile names on the OOC slate. The only P5 school they will play is lowly Rutgers in Toronto. With two losses at home to Ohio U and Vermont, their already long shot odds for an at large are now near zero. It has been a devastating four days to start the season in Olean, NY.

I just find it hard to believe that Davidson's backcourt is the best in the country.
They are good yes, probably the A10's best, but THE best? Maybe they think so, but not hardly.

Re: Week #1 - Games of Interest
Unfortunately the A-10 has a small window and when you get to game 10 it is too late if they lost all their big non conference games. The league will not much credit when their is a separation of four good teams, a couple decent ones and bottom of the barrel with the rest. They need to win their big non conference games whether it is fair or not.

Re: Week #1 - Games of Interest
Yes, it will be the same scenario as last season for the A10, if they don't win at least some of their games against their better OOC opponents, and avoid too many losses to lower rated teams also.
URI might have the best opportunity to enhance their chances out of all the better teams in the A10. Have to take advantage of it.

Re: Week #1 - Games of Interest
How come every time the NCAA makes a decision if has to be cartel vs non-cartel? Why can’t we look at this and say “Hmm, that actually is a dangerous precedent?” The impacts of that may far exceed just Wiseman. How many future recruits are now more interested in Memphis because they land the #1 player in the country, or because they win a lot of games this year with him? What Hardaway did and his relationship with the family gave him an obvious leg up in the recruiting process.

Nicholls State leads Pitt 28-21 with 5 min. to go in first Half. On Tuesday, Nicholls lost their opener on the road to Illinois in OT, 78-70. We face Nicholls St. as part of the Jamaica Classic and they don't look like any pushover.
