Harris with the obligatory 4th foul with 19 minutes left in the game.

Yeah no doubt UMass has completely given up, but we still had to do our part, and we did very well.

One of these days

A foul wont be called on him.

I feel like he is getting picked on. Some of these calls against him I’ve never seen called against anyone else. Feel for him.

Not a good start to the half.

Why cant Martin shoot anymore???

O feel like at least 50 percent of Harris' fouls are things I never seen called on anyone else.
They're all such light contact calls.

I’m not going to worry too much about the score at this point. But I’d prefer to see a little more focus and not just screwing around once you think the game is over. It probably is over, but we’re not good enough to not treat every minute as a chance to get better.

I turned the game on TV for the second half after listening to the first on the radio. I'll take the blame for the drop-off in play and will look to see an improvement now that the tube is off and the radio is back on.

I get immense pleasure watching our guys literally bounce off Rashaan Holloway. He is a one man zone defense.

Plausible reason why Rhody is treading water this half.

Man that was fun!!! Great crowd and the team showed up for sure. Great way to end the regular season and head to the tournament with momentum. Too many great plays to call out any one. No Sleep Till Brooklyn!!!!!

There are always way less posts during and right after home games because more people are at the game. Half the time its just me, BAR and reef talking to ourselves during home games.

It’s definitely a good sign when it’s just us out of state people posting for home games. That wasn’t the case 4-5 years ago.

Back from game few minutes ago.

Great, smooth show, nothing beats on campus college hoops with a big crowd.

Everything like clockwork and EZBuckets announces he’s back another year!!

I’m dumbfounded at this turnaround. All the layup line nonsense is gone, everyone is all business and the team has serious MOJO.

I was wrong about the weave it fits right into Cox’s high post offense and really doesn’t use much energy because it’s so fluid. What impresses me is how well multiple players handle the ball in the high post. Man, Cox has these guys moving.

This team is capable of high level play.

Dangerous. Three weeks ago I would have said you were nuts if you told me this wrecked train would get back on the rails!

A NIT home game is within reach.

Nuts!

Go Rhody!

Fatts reminds me of, Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore, when Happy has figured out how to putt.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 5 years ago

It's great to be excited about this team again. And it feels so good to leave the Ryan Center feeling happy. hrstrat mentioned that all of the nonsense is gone and it's all business. I totally agree. I also noticed something new that they're doing. When a player comes out of the game, he slaps hands with everyone on the bench, starting and the beginning and going all the way down to the end. It must be a requirement now because everyone is doing it. One guy apparently forgot. Jermaine came out of the game and went and sat down. Cyril said something to him and Jermaine popped up and went to the beginning of the bench and slapped everyone down to the end of the bench. They seem to be more together as a team, both on the court and on the bench, as the bench is now much more lively, including the coaches. It's the little things. Little things, yet very important things.

ram1980 · Unread post by **ram1980** » 5 years ago

Bottle that first half for next week. Definitely a different attitude last few games. Running to help teammates up.. the going down the line on bench after coming out.. looked like tj was the enforcer on that one.. would love to see Preston contribute in a10 tournament like last few games.. something clicked.. winning helps but someone said something.. they look like they are enjoying the game like they should and actually look like they like each other.. fun end to the regular season..

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 5 years ago

I also saw Cyril tell Tate to go down the line after he was about to sit after being subbed out. Leaders!!!!

.......looking ahead to Brooklyn......for sure the teams at the top do not wanna play is this team that has won the last four, recipe is clear; confidence in shouting, Fatts playing with extreme confidence, and perhaps the best intense defense all season, hitting the boards, staying out of foul trouble......movement in the offense, free throw shooting......we can win games in Brooklyn......we shoot the ball like we have, strong defense, Fatts staying hot, and look out......thanks a Coach and team for ending the season on a high note......Go Rhody......

RhodyRam86 · Unread post by **RhodyRam86** » 5 years ago

just back from the game and dinner. arrived too late to witness the layup line, but agree that there is definitely more giddy up and comradery with this team. I think seeing the ball go through the net more consistently has obviously loosened things up.

as fatts goes...so this team will go. I think he is the wild card. when he is on, it makes life for Jeff and Cyril much easier.

have to mention the only down side of this run is the lack of growth from the freshmen. they really haven't contributed at all in the last 4 games.

disagree with those that say Jermaine is picking up ticky tack fouls. he is picking up bad fouls. moving screens and out of control hedging account for 75% of his fouls. I feel like I am calling most of his fouls before the ref blows the whistle.
