[spookydog]

USF is currently losing early in the 2nd half to Florida College from the NAIA. Yikes

[SandorClegane]

This game is definitely at 7 right? My TV is showing the BC/Villanova game at 7 and ASU/URI at 9:30.

[eli#10]

ESPN has been promoting the game all day--it is at 7;00.

[steviep123]

YouTubeTV has it listed as 7.

Question on Sunday - do I need an espn+ subscription to see the game on Espn3?

[rjsuperfly66]

This game is definitely at 7 right? My TV is showing the BC/Villanova game at 7 and ASU/URI at 9:30.

I think the mix-up probably came because the original schedule was BC/Nova at 7 and ASU/Baylor at 9:30. When they switched Baylor and URI, they swapped the game times so the TV guide probably didn't catch up with the change. Game is definitely at 7.

StevieP, any game listed on ESPN3 just requires an active cable log-in.

Thanks RJ. I do have ESPN via YouTubeTV. So by your statement I should be covered and don't need espn+ (though truth be told I pay for Disney+ and my wife has Hulu so we really should get the disney plus bundle which has all three for basically $1 more I think).

[RIrugger01]

I am psyched!!!!! Not only is it the first game of the season, but my brother is an ASU alum. Beat them down!!

[RIrugger01]

[PeteRI]

I'm with Blue Man. In FATTS we trust. LFG!!!!!!

[URI_CellBio14]

Just wondering if anyone would know, if I have ESPN+ but not a cable package, would I be able to get the game?

Less worried about that one now.

We are wearing white today.

Any attempt to glean any news from an IG story is insane by definition. I’m not debating this, it’s just a fact. Do with the IG stuff what you want.

Just gonna give this a bump for my own personal pleasure.

Ahhh gotcha, thanks!

......Red, how is the gravy tasting.......?

Gravy is ready, soup and pie are yummy, turkey is getting ready for frying and there’s cold ‘Gansett ready for the game.


And it’s 81 degrees.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Who do we throw at Remy Martin?

Ginger ale and some ice.

You had me until the Gansett. The 81 degrees sounds the best.

With Harris being out tonight do we see more "small" lineups on the court to match up with ASUs speep? Which we also have.

ASU is vulnerable downlow but without Harris no sure if we can exploit that this early in the year with all the new faces.

Well we weren't really sure with Harris we could exploit them down low.

True but im also not as down on Harris as many on this board are. He has shown positive signs but as many of our games profressed we just stopped looking inside. He has a very good jumper inside 12-15 feet.

But your point is valid since he has yet to show us the full package.

I definitely expect more, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the twins can do some damage. I mean I feel like they ought to be able to do something.

Also interested in seeing if Antwan has improved. He might surprised us.

I'm excited. Very excited.

I'm also in central time so I get to see us at 6pm woooo!

[Rhody72]

It is great that URI is starting the season against high quality competition. Playing bad teams only ingrains bad habits. This schedule will let this team know where they stand and what they need to do to improve. Unfortunately, Harris will not learn that you can't get 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes of the game. Fatts playing well will make all his teammates better. This is so much better than starting the season against RIC.

[FDshoes]

So pumped for tonights game!! Think Makhi is ready to make an impact not so sure on Makhel yet.

Anything above terrible is an improvement for Twan.

[RhodeIslandRams]

Almost too good to be true that we finally can watch the Rams tonight-and against a strong team. Happy Thanksgiving to all on the Keaney Blue board!

Thats pretty positive 72! Happy for you!

Is there a pre-game on the radio? If so what channel? Tune in?

[PeterRamTime]

We are in the longest hour of the day!

Walker sat for a 1 1/2 years.

Walker (who you say was terrible)
21 games
16.7 mins
56% FG
3P% 27%
5.3 points
3.5 rebounds

Harris (who you say didn’t get the ball enough)
30 games
17.7 mins
41% FG
3P% 12%
5.3 points
3.0 rebounds

Walker also had more blocks and more steals per game.

Fine 83 Harris has been a disappointment. But Twan is also terrible.

I feel thru my personal eye test and opinion that Harris hasnt been used properly and has potential. And Twan is just straight terrible. Again this is my opinion from my eye test. Stats only tell so much of a story.

[KevanBoyles]

GoRhody is up to date. Think big we do.

Kimani Lawrence is out for ASU.

YES! On Tune In NOW!

Maybe expectations too high for the Mitchell twins going into the season??
Go back a year ago with the Maryland - URI Game:

• Harris 21 minutes, 4-9 FG, 2-2 FT, 5 rebounds, 1 TO, 4 Fouls, 10 points

• Mekhi 4 minutes, 1-1 FG, 0 rebounds, 1 block, 1 TO, 4 Fouls, 2 points

• Mekhel 6 minutes, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 TO, 3 Fouls, 0 points

• So those worried about Harris who had 4 fouls in 21 minutes should consider the Mitchell's combined had 7 Fouls in 10 minutes

• Fatts 40 minutes, 1-8 FG, 2-4 FT, 2 rebounds, 4 assist, 3 steals, 3 fouls, 5 points

It's why they play the games

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Steve is in mid-season form already — doing his own color

[section(105)]

.......Sheppard......like what I see.....

[PeterRamTime]

Yep could used Jeremy's shooting last year!

He can shoot the cover off the ball as David Cox says!

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Promising start, but it’s obvious these guys haven’t played together much

Thanks, obvious nepotism hire Dan Gavitt!

[DC_Rams]

I just love when we argue about how bad our student athletes are, just watch the friggin game and hope they improved. Jesus...

[PeterRamTime]

AZ State is quick as shit

[hrstrat57]

Wow Bagley is good...

Hanging in playing hard...I like our talent.

Hes really been a difference.

Agree on the talent!

[FDshoes]

9 fouls 9 minutes in, no bueno. Good news Sheppard can shoot the damn rock!

[PeterRamTime]

Ok I'm just hoping we stay competitive at this point...

See if we can regoup and improve a little during the game.

[FDshoes]

Not looking promising but its still early. Need to find any form of rhythm offensively. A few good possessions in a row because right now its painful. Not to mention we are getting shredded defensively.
