Has Hurley used a TO?

40 points in a half to a D2 team is not close to acceptable...If it's broke fix it

That was just about worst-case scenario. Really hope I am not proven wrong in the second half.

Hurley told us this was a good team. He was wrong. I guess Gil is out with the ankle injury

well none of that happened and we are up shits creek as the pressure will mount in the 2nd half and fans will start pulling for them as they fill the empty arena.

how is gil healthy enough to start but not to put back in?

we have zero low post threat without him because Iffy is a garbage man, not a go to low post guy at this point.

for all the Hare detractors he would be having a field day in this game blocking shorter white guys taking layups, it'd be like high school for him.

our defense is embarrassing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this look like Baron ball to you guys? Slowing the game down, and playing methodical half court defense is the only way I see this team improving their defense for the rest of this season. We had one of the best D's in the A-10 last year simply because we limited possessions. This team has looked absolutely atrocious all season.

This is an absolute disgrace, I'm moving on to MNF. We are getting taken behind the woodshed by a D2 team who looks more athletic, better coached and hungrier. We are soft and play with absolutely no clue on both ends of the floor. Never did I ever think I'd see a Hurley coached team look so much a Jerry D coached team.

There is absolutely no excuse for what this team has showed so far this year.... transfers, blah, blah, blah.. This is not a very good team and Hurley isnt exactly showing me much so far this year. I think last years team was easier to watch to be honest, at least those kids looked like they care.

He had 2 quick fouls for walking on the court at the wrong time.

The Roadrunners shot 52 percent. URI is not athletic and can cover quick teams

They rely, well try to anyway, too much on athleticism. When the going gets tough, they go all Jerry D AAU out there.

We said this after the SMU game, but this is Metro State now.

Maybe they will settle down for the second half, at least make it respectable.

I'm with BPR. This is baronball.

All we had to do was stick with hurley's suffocating defense from last year, and methodical half court sets. WIth the talent we have this year, put into that system, we're undefeated and it's not even close.

WHY ARE WE RUNNING WHEN WE CANT RUN!?
