If it really was a tech for not tucking your shirt in, any decent coach would have yanked him for the rest of the game or more. I hope some reporter has the balls on the post game to ask Cox why Mitchell remained in the game.
On another topic, I have gone to 52 straight senior nights, but that streak will end this year. Do you hear me Thorr? Your most loyal fan won’t be there. In the 80’s, I used to sign my posts”have not and will not quit that ram fan” If you want me to start another streak next year, do something now!
Neil, here's hoping you keep your streak.
These last 2 years have sucked for everybody, some obviously got it worse than others.
The kids had to play last year with no fans.
We didn't get to say goodbye to Fatts.
Everybody missed out on a postseason in 2020.
Thorr is going to do what needs to be done after the season is over.
Those kids are our players, and they deserve better than they've gotten (in countless ways).
I'm going to be there Saturday to say thanks.
Hope to see you at the RC at noon.
Don't quit now.
Neil,
I agree with Rudder,
I love to go to Senior nights (days0
In Baron's last season (which we din't know for sure would be his last), similar environment to this but I think even worse.
Same thing was people saying don't go to games, don't buy tickets, we need Baron out.
I went to the last game and also to the UMASS game at UMASS to end the season.
We finished 7-24 and 4-11 in Conference. Back then the bottom 2 teams did not make the A10 Tournament at all - so our last game was @ UMASS
My greatest memory was the hustle that TJ Buchanan, only a Freshman, displayed in the final minutes of the final game of the season that some could and would say was meaningless. But here was TJ giving it his all. I saw that live with my own eyes - not many URI fans at UMASS that day.
Senior day we crushed Fordham by 20. Anthony Malhoit got the "Senior Start" and did he deliver with 21 points and 9 rebounds.
Senior Orion Outerbridge had a double double
Senior Days are and will be different moving forward due to the new transfer rules.
URI WBB just had Senior Night with 5 players recognized:
Williams and Elmore only playing 1 year at URI
Foppossi and Tahane planed 2 years at URI
Marta Vargas played 5 years at URI getting the 5th Covid year
But it was a nice ceremony. Well attended. Marta Vargas especially appreciated by me for a number of reasons. She was here for 5 years including the worst years. Marta stayed with the program with Tammi. She lost her starting position, when she had a bout of Covid, to Sophomore Dolly Cairns. She never complained, she held her head high and I couldn't be prouder of a player who came here to URI from Portugal. I've watched her since her Freshman year. She and others had to endure parts of these last 2 years from their home country now knowing what the next month would bring.
Recognizing players who started and ended their careers at one school are getting rare
Sheppard was here 3 years since he sat out his first. He is a fine representative of URI in his on-court and off-court behavior. He is a humble and unselfish player.
El-Amin chose URI for his last year of eligibility and has exhibited a team spirit and commendable leadership. He is also an excellent representative of URI. He is also an unselfish, team first type of player.
Sneak in with a Big Mask on if you don't want to be recognized but Senior Night will not be the same without you and I mean that with all sincerity and the utmost of respect. You are Senior Night to us long term fans of URI. Obviously if you don't go we fully understand.
