Pathetic. I'm beginning to doubt if this program is really going in the right direction after all
Those 2 recruits next year had better be the real deal.
There is no excuse for this FT issue. Recruit guys who have a good track record.
I do not want to start doubting Archie, but you have to wonder. Lack of effort is inexcusable
That's on him, sorry to say.

We left early. We never leave early. This one is on the coach. This team gave zero effort tonight. Archie was even pouting on the bench for awhile . No adjustments at least when we left with 1:50 to go. I've seen enough of always Wright. Give Estevez some playing time. Can't believe we are potentially heading for another crappy year.

Kudos to Brown. Three losses to them in a row now. They have been the superior program in recent years.
I think the losses this week to PC and Brown confirm that URI is the worst D1 team in the state as the other teams will all have at least one win over another RI D1 opponent.

Just a few days ago we were trying to convince ourselves that we weren't that far off from being as good as Providence. Tonight, we learned that we aren't even as good as 2-8, 281 NET Brown.
Yeah, I'm probably overreacting a little, but that was pathetic all around. I believe that's now 3 straight losses to Brown.

Well, I knew the program wasn't going to become relevant overnight and a ton of patience would be needed, but what I've seen so far this season has been nothing short of a complete disappointment. We are getting punked by a 2 win Ivy team at home and look completely disorganized on both ends of the floor. Maybe we overrated our talent, maybe our coaching is not what we thought it would be, whatever the case, we are a bad looking team right now. Not ready to give up on the season yet, but I'm just not seeing anything that tells me we have the pieces here right now to compete, or if we do, we certainly haven't been able to show any improvement. We've been literally manhandled by every decent team we've played and I'm including the fact we were down by 19 at home to Yale. Again, patience is going to be needed, but I'm tired of sucking. This blows big time. 23% from 3 along with 16 missed free throws tonight, yikes.

I’m having a tough time chalking this up to being a developing team. Gotta agree with Chris D. on the need for more pressure throughout the game. Too little. Too late.

You expect the team to be inconsistent
But you don't go and lose like this to Brown.
We are unbelievably bad on offense. Defense is meh, we lack quickness and any identity.

It was clear very early this team wasn’t competing
Archie needed to light a fire under their ass
Keep them there for 2 more hours tonight shooting free throws
Get in the court and shoot FTS
That’s what I would do to them

That is as disappointing of a performance as I can remember. I don’t care if brown has their best team they’ve ever had and we have one of our worst, there is no way to excuse losing to Brown. I would have considered a ho-hum uninspiring 10 point win tonight a disappointment. I don’t even know what to call this. We should never, ever lose to Brown under any circumstances, never mind at home, never mind coming off a loss to Providence. We should have been rabid dogs tonight looking to embarrass Brown, and instead we no-showed. I try not to draw big-picture conclusions based on single events, but man it is hard not to be very down and very dejected after this tonight. Pathetic and awful.

Re: 12/6 | Brown | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Whatever happened to uptempo basketball. We cause very few turnovers to get out and run. We never press. I guess we did the last minute. How about earlier to change the tempo and energy of your team Archie?? We're playing 10 guys. Should be able to apply more defensive pressure and keep people fresh with substitutions. This ain't working. Totally discouraging.

Re: 12/6 | Brown | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
URI is officially terrible . They are definitely much worse than I thought . I've never even seen an elementary school team shoot fts as bad as this
group. They will probably finish in record territory at the ft line for a Rams team . What an ugly loss to a IVY League bottom feeder . Maybe URI IS
the worst team in the A10 . If not then the bottom of the A10 should drop their basketball program. I fear they won't win another OOC game this
season . The remaining teams are probably all better than Brown .

Re: 12/6 | Brown | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
2nd year in a row Martin outcoached Archie
Our defensive intensity for long stretches is putrid
Not sure why Always Wright played what seemed like an eternity in the first half. The offense completely stalls with him out there he doesn’t even look at the rim. He comes off ball screens and never attacks the paint to make a play.
There were numerous plus matchups we never exploited. Kortright posting Lilly, anyone posting the Ferrari kid.
Just putrid performance by entire staff and team.

We left a little after halftime. Kinda tired and game was uninspiring. Saw ARD and caught up after a few years. He saw Mrs BlueRam and ran over and gave her a big hug. So proud of those guys. Josh King was floating around as well. The game sucked, but it was great to see those guys again. Felt like I was back in school.

Through 39 games of the Archie era, color me completely unimpressed.
F is my grade.
Better schedule JWU, Salve , RIC AND Roger Williams next year.
We are not winning out this year.
And we are not beating PC for the foreseeable future.

Fuchs is a piece of shit on the defensive end. Why did he play so much? Every time he came in the game the brown lead increased.
Weston sat for 25 minutes only to come back in on crunch time? Cold? Poor coaching.
Very tight rotation throughout the game when NO ONE was playing well. Reminiscent of the Fordham game under Hurley except Hurley pulled everyone and taught his team a lesson. Archie just watched us play like shit.
This was on the coach. This is our Q4 loss, the end of any shred of any at large hope, and the end of competitive basketball that means anything until we get to Brooklyn.
Fuck everything. We fucking suck.

Yep, Archie made no attempt to go with only one big in the game until the last min or so. Considering our poor defense and lack of forcing turnovers with two bigs, it seemed like pretty basic coaching to me.KevanBoyles wrote: ↑6 months ago I’m having a tough time chalking this up to being a developing team.

Why was House on Lilly , their best player for the entire game? Does that mean House is a better defender than Luis, ? Also, a little surprised that we did not take advantage of Luis’ success down low this year. Did I miss it or we never tried?
Really disappointed that Archie played it the same way for 39 minutes. I saw no flexibility!
Energy lacking with team and coach. (Chicken or egg)
