By far their best and most complete game this season.
Both Mitchells played well along with Walker.
Glad to see Jeremy finally woke up, good for him.
Nice effort on the boards today and shocked at their FT shooting, especially at crucial times down the stretch.

This loss is not killing Davidson.
It's a Q2 loss at the end of the day and they are the 10th team IN according to bracketmatrix with a Q1 opportunity left at Dayton plus the A-10 tournament.

A great point. Everything is so depressing lolTruePoint wrote: ↑2 years agoIf anything, I think a win like this highlights the coaching failure on the whole. This team is not perfectly constructed by any stretch, but it isn’t totally devoid of ability or potential. A game like this is a demonstration of that fact. But despite that potential, this year’s team and the program as a whole are in nowheresville. A more capable coach would have this roster in a position where they were at least still playing for something other than avoiding a game on the first day of the conference tournament.Blue Man wrote: ↑2 years agoI mean in the grand scheme of things this is a Q2 win at best. It could turn into a Q3 win with the slide Davidson will get losing to us.
It is cox’s “best” with his own guys. Which isn’t saying much.
But unless this spurns a miracle turnaround that ends in an A10 tournament win, this hurt the program long term. It’s closer to .500 by the end of the year and potentially could wind up being the reason we don’t make a coaching change and potentially extending cox.
Purgatory. The baron times are back.

I have never rooted for URI to lose for any reason in any sport. Those who post here as fans, root against URI in any sport are real trolls by definition. Claiming it is because of A10 teams making the NCAAT or getting a new coach is BS. GO ahead, get in a circle and defend one another!

No way , Blueram I know you are a big URI fan and I know you are better than to believe this was anything but a great win . The URI players played their hearts out and they deserve better than our fans worrying about the other teams in the A 10 at this moment . Let Davidson take care of Davidson .
Dayton , not Davidson is going to win the A 10 regular season title and an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament . Davidson will probably get in too .
Regardless, at this point in time I will thoroughly enjoy this victory as a fan of URI . I will worry about the other teams when an if the are selected
for the Dance. I have to say I am shocked by all the negativity on here . Players reading the board have to be very disheartened.

Rhody had a very nice offensive effort in the first half and played fairly solid defense the entire game. It was nice to see Makhi Mitchell fighting for the ball instead of trying to get a call. There were still a few times our players saw passing lanes that were not there but overall a very solid effort. Poorly officiated game glad it did not cost us.

Re: 2/12 | Davidson | 2:00PM (ESPNU)
I’m going to take time to post about the game. I’ll leave the macro view of what this could mean at season’s end alone for now.
Cox’s late game lineup management was good. That said, if you’re going to have Carey in the game late because of his athleticism and defense, you can’t have him as a primary ball handler on offense. He’s too loose with the ball.
Was I the only one thinking this when he almost turned it over, which ultimately led to a shot clock violation.

Maybe you won’t be when Thorr says I think we should give Cox one more try especially after that big win over Dayton. It is a nice win for URI, but Dayton is so overrated-check out their last 10 games. They have been very lucky which is why the A-10 is 100% a one bid leaguetheblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoI'm not miserable.

The number of A10 teams that get a bid does affect us financially, but not enough to make much of a difference.
The combination of a sucky team and a weekend.....many students go home on the weekends, also the weather today was nice, nice enough to bring on an early case of spring fever, and hanging out outside.

Re: 2/12 | Davidson | 2:00PM (ESPNU)
I thought the call when Malik Martin had a breakaway, scored and got called for an offensive foul was a bad call. The Davidson guy got into the circle and took his position too late to draw the offensive foul call. That was the play when Malik was beside himself, ran all the way to the Davidson end of the court and squatted down holding his head in disbelief. Malik rarely questions calls so it's meaningful when he reacts like this.
All I could think is we lost the game at Davidson with the controversial call with Lee in the circle under the hoop, but this call day seemed clearly bad.
The crowd reacted to this call louder than any other call today.
Do you agree? and were there any others you saw?

I did see a call that Makhi was bitching about a foul call. Then it was announced that it was on Walker. So, he was bitching about a call that wasn't even on him.

…..nice win for the coach and especially the players…….does it change anything tonite in the eventual decision?……..no……..carry this over and beat Dayton……..then maybe we are onto something………avoid the play in games……and win a game in the tourney……..then we could be looking at an extension of sorts…….meh…….

If Cox is here another year, absolutely NO ONE thinks that things will get any better.
Yeah with a new coach we probably won't be that good next year, but it's the prospect of getting better sooner instead of dragging things out another year, with the same shit results again.

It was a warm and gorgeous afternoon BUT 54?!? That's paltry.
Again, whoever is doing the marketing has completely failed the team, the university, the fans, and the university community. Even when the team was nationally ranked, the team was still engaging with students on campus with giveaways, etc. Remember when they were knocking on doors in dorms giving away slices of pizza or some DD swag? Maybe that's not allowed due to COVID restrictions, but get creative -- step out of the box a bit.
Obligations kept me away from the game today or else I would have gone. That being said, aside from coaching staff, we can't have some numbnuts clown running a marking program. Maybe he knows it's a joke for him and that's why? It's embarrassing how much more PC does than URI. The Marketing AD is most likely a Spectrum financed/run position, which is fine, but put some f*cking effort in!! This is 2022. Not 1998. It's really easy to post to Instagram and Snapchat. I don't even see a live Ryan Center feed on IG. Can the RC staff not even access the Wifi? FFS, this is getting more emBARONsing by the day. Did they have to reinstall a CRT TV with a VHS in the locker room?
Get rid of the Marketing AD who does nothing and hire a handful of COB undergrads or MBA students to do his job. They'd at least have tenacity.

If one random win at home over Davidson is the reason that we don't make a coaching change then we have much bigger issues and we're screwed either way.Blue Man wrote: ↑2 years agoI mean in the grand scheme of things this is a Q2 win at best. It could turn into a Q3 win with the slide Davidson will get losing to us.
It is cox’s “best” with his own guys. Which isn’t saying much.
But unless this spurns a miracle turnaround that ends in an A10 tournament win, this hurt the program long term. It’s closer to .500 by the end of the year and potentially could wind up being the reason we don’t make a coaching change and potentially extending cox.

Re: 2/12 | Davidson | 2:00PM (ESPNU)
Wow this game was a pleasant surprise. I was floored to see a Mitchell twin go 5-6 from the free throw line. Someone ate their Wheaties.
Although, I have noticed that during some home games this season the team has tended to shoot better from the 3pt line.
Still not seeing much improvement overall from the team as the season's progressed. Hoping they can start to build some success & show some consistent improvement...starting with this game. Time will tell.

Student section was empty. But as other have stated not to be unexpected

Carey drove inside with about 2 minutes to go and that is tough to do especially against a Davidson interior defense. He lost control but to his credit he stayed with it fighting for the ball, retrieved it and called a very good timeout with 1:40 to go. That left URI with 1 time out remaining.JimSidd wrote: ↑2 years ago I’m going to take time to post about the game. I’ll leave the macro view of what this could mean at season’s end alone for now.
Cox’s late game lineup management was good. That said, if you’re going to have Carey in the game late because of his athleticism and defense, you can’t have him as a primary ball handler on offense. He’s too loose with the ball.
Was I the only one thinking this when he almost turned it over, which ultimately led to a shot clock violation.
He is improving with his turnovers, but he doesn't need to drive inside with minutes remaining imho.

At 2:10 remaining Loyer hit a 3 to make the score 58-62.Rhode_Island_Red wrote: ↑2 years ago So Cox calls his last timeout and gives McKillop a chance to draw up a junk defense. Brilliant.
Carey drove the lane and lost control of the ball. Carey dove on the floor gaining control of a loose ball. Excellent use of the Time Out in that case so Cox had 1 Time out left.
At 1:28 Makhi Mitchell made the block of the game as he blocked Lee's layup attempt and kept the ball inbounds with Makhel gaining control. Then at 1:20 Cox used his last time out. He was giving the team instructions with a 4 point lead. He wanted the ball in the hands of the best FT shooters.
In the last couple of minutes Cox was removing Makhi and Makhel when possible on offense because he wanted his best FT Shooters on the floor. He was anticipating Davidson fouling. He would then put Makhi and Makhel back in the game on defense, then remove them again on offense. He did this numerous times.
Sheppard and Leggett went 8-8 FTs after that Time Out at 1:20 to go. Maybe Cox told Sheppard and Leggett to relax and have fun shooting the FTs but whatever he did in the Time Out huddle it worked. Cox clearly wanted the ball in the hands of Leggett and Sheppard.
