It definitely was a game that helped moved us to the wrong side of the bubble. I don't recall what we did in the A10 that year and if going far enough would have helped but a win would have kept us on the right side of the bubble.theblueram wrote: ↑5 months agoBAR, was that the game where if they won they were in and if they lost they were out?

I had to edit audio clips, including the 30+ minutes of silence when i sat in 104 dumbfouned and numb, over and over and over for a fucking week because I didn't have time to record a new topic before it was due.
It was my own personal hell, re-lived for far too long. Fuck those refs. Fuck that travel. Fuck Matt Glass. Fuck UMass.

A win and we were probably in. A loss and we needed to beat Duquesne in the first round of the A10. We didn't.

I distinctly remember on college gameday them talking about us "If Rhode Island beats UMass they're in" and everyone but Hubert Davis agreed. Hubert-"Well who have they beaten!?" I was like "eff you Hubert Davis!" We were rolling going into that 09 UMass game and then Jim Baron said "okay I've had enough of that"
Jim Baron's ability to choke was second to none.

Yep, then we found a way to lose to Duquesne in the quarterfinals. We had won 10 of 11 games and 6 in a row just to blow it to an awful 11 win UMass teamtheblueram wrote: ↑5 months agoAs I remember it, if we won that game we were a lock for an at large regardless of the A10 tourney.

Re: 1/13 | UMass | 2:00PM (ESPN+)
We all want Bilau to thrive and stay healthy – no doubt about that. What I'm getting at is that I feel like we do not need to rely on Bilau as heavily as we did earlier this year and last year.. A significant factor contributing to our improved performance is Archie's decision to trim the rotation. The players on the court are building chemistry with each passing game, a point Archie emphasized as evident in practice. He also highlighted the team's growing confidence, describing it as a powerful force. In my opinion, I love our rotation right now, and we have enough options at the frontcourt. We just won on the road with David Green out most of the game... I'd rather watch Fuchs be the starter and keep developing personally. That kid is going to be an ALL-A10 player if he sticks around.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑5 months agoIf he's healthy enough he's taking Fou and Browns minutes.bigappleram wrote: ↑5 months ago From what I could tell Bilau wasn't on the bench at Davidson and didn't travel with the team. That would seem to indicate the injury is more prolonged. Also, even if'/when he does suit up, it's not like Arch is throwing him in there and he's a 20+ minute guy and immediate difference maker. If you ever see him this year it will be for spot minutes here and there. Our fate lies in the hands of those that are available - Fuchs, Fou and Brown.
He was an immediate difference maker when he came in earlier this year.

I agree - he has some maturing to do, but he has a great foundation to build on.
if he can stay absolutely focused the entire time he is on the floor, we will improve every year.
No complaining and hustle always. Let the coaches fight with the refs.
Dude is a beast on the glass.

Not a great endorsement for Cross today.
If he somehow does play, won’t be close to 100%.

Massey Ratings gives the #172 Rams a 46% chance of beating the #102 Minutemen, with a projected final of 74-72

As of this morning, there's only about 300 seats in the two lower sections. In the upper section, the corner sections and the back rows of the other sections still have plenty of seats, but this will easily be our largest crowd this year. With a decent walk up, we might hit 6000.

Hopefully much better results at the RC than last season against them.
That last game Cross wasn't available along with Dominguez and Fernandes.
I like our team so much better this year.
I think we win this game.

Besides his ankle Cross still having problems with a tooth that cracked in half in the Dayton game.
Hankins has averaged 8P / 8R over the past 4 games for UMASS including a double-double last game.
We have lost 3 straight to UMASS at the Ryan Center. Not that stats like those matter anymore with roster turn. Players don’t know much history that might affect their view of an upcoming game.
Last 6 games vs UMASS:
2021 78-80 (ot) loss away
2021 63-75 loss home
2022 81-68 win away
2022 67-78 loss home
2023 65-75 loss away
2023 45-69 loss home
2024 ?????? ????? Home

Let’s do this!
Let’s break the seemingly usual pattern of stringing some wins together and getting the fans attention and then losing and usually losing big infront of the decent crowd they have been wanting.
We have the fans attention, now let’s reward them with a big win!
Go Rhody!

Of course, I’ve been wrong before.
But if you’re out until 4, you won’t have any problems except avoiding the score.
