Great down cut to the rim by Hutch!! That’s it young man!

Offensive rebound followed by 3 point kick in the b@lls.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 1 year ago

There was never any doubt that 3 was going in after giving up the offensive rebound.

Our freshman Weston and Lou are playing well !!

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 1 year ago

Can they not be clutch everytime we make a push please?

Balanced scoring for us today. Something to build off of.

Despite PC’s length and athleticism, our offense has been solid - excluding that stretch to close the first half. Bodes well for the team going forward.

Our bigs are pushing back - from a scoring perspective. Love it!

KevanBoyles · Unread post by **KevanBoyles** » 1 year ago

That 17-2 run killed us. They have played hard. Our bigs will be tough but in a couple of years.

Our young guys playing well

PeteRI · Unread post by **PeteRI** » 1 year ago

That's the 427th inside basket for PC.

PeteRI · Unread post by **PeteRI** » 1 year ago

We're playing olé defense.

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 1 year ago

The guys need to be smarter. Just can’t put your head down and drive to the hoop against their bigs.

They will learn.

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 1 year ago

Despite our struggles to finish at the rim at times, our shooting percentages are pretty good today.

PeteRI · Unread post by **PeteRI** » 1 year ago

Bynum broke his ankles. Then he broke our spirit.

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 1 year ago

They have better finishers, shooters and hoop getter’s but our guys hung in there in the second half.

Finished at the rim every damn time too

This game was just more proof that we are YEARS away from having a good team. This squad will probably not win more than 8-9 games this season and based on what we have, I am not very encouraged for next year. This is a total rebuild from a DEEP hole.

KevanBoyles · Unread post by **KevanBoyles** » 1 year ago

48, 38, 91. Not bad shooting.

That’s how I felt basically

I came away impressed with PC can see them mid tier BE at worst

For us we are rebuilding showed some good fight tonight and we should get better as the year goes on

We may struggle to get wins but we will improve

Bynum is a elite lock down defender

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 1 year ago

Tough game, but there was great alumn representation. Dawan, Hellenga, Jimmy Baron, Tavoris Bell, Silk and Will Martell and probably some I missed. Also heard Jimmy Butler was in the house with another player.

KevanBoyles · Unread post by **KevanBoyles** » 1 year ago

Is Cyril still playing overseas? Steve said he was at the game.

As long as I've been a fan/following Rhody Hoops and posting on this board -- it's nice to see the overall consensus here as purely this being a rebuilding year and no doom and gloom. I'm here for it.

No doom and gloom for me.
I see potential with this young group.
Probably looking at year 3 for a post-season bid, if we keep them together.

Funny cas I am feeling very confident about us playing relevant games in march

A10 semis is my bar for relevant games

you can just see this team playing the right way - I love the flow this team has and yes we gave up way too many layups but I’ll chalk that up to a talent thing vs Archie can’t coach defense cas we know he can

I can’t wait to see is growing each and every game

Someone can and probably will correct me but without looking anything up we had that bad stretch under 8 mins of 1st half - otherwise we played that evenly - no (?)

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 1 year ago

All I know is the squad that was on the floor at the end of the first half had a combined 9 points at the time with two having zero.

ElmCityRhody · Unread post by **ElmCityRhody** » 1 year ago

Ok I loooked it up

Last 4 mins of the 1st half

Otherwise we played them in even

no doom and gloom on my part whatsoever

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 1 year ago

Archie just needs to tighten that rotation up.

The other player was Kyle Lowry. On the telecast, they stated they were there with Devin Carter’s father, who’s an assistant coach for the Heat.

Lowry and Butler were there with Heat assistant and long time NBA vet Anthony Carter, who is Devin Carter from PC's father.

Honestly good vibes say the game for what it was. Young alum section everyone knows the deal, low expectations and it just enjoying it.

There’s a lot to look forward too. The defense tightens up, and we shoot like we did today against lower competition and we will start winning.

I’m not doom and gloom, bigs take time to develop, especially when they are going against Ed Croswell who is like 28 years old at this point. They’ll be fine in A10

I think he will.

He mentioned in the post game show that foul trouble caused him to use lineup’s he didn’t plan on, or something to that affect.

Overall, I see growth from the team offensively - excluding the dry spell at the end of the first half. We shot well, some other players stepped up to score, cut down on the turnovers in the second half against strong pressure all game. Those things bode well for us for future games.

That said, we really took a step back on D. PC killed us inside and in transition. That was disappointing but fixable.

We will get there and I still think we will surprise some teams come late January and February.

Yes very good call , I had no idea Devin was Anthony’s son ??

Nothing to add, just gonna take time, for me, maybe longer than I thought. Like the players, some good things happening, defense was let down, didn’t expect that. On to Brown, wouldn’t be easy.

yeah I forgot those two. Saw Will on the concourse and yelled at him. Got a nice smile. Don't think I've ever seen that many alumns at a game before.
