I probably agree, but I think there is a pretty decent chance we get the #1 ranking!

This is another silly item from the basketball gospel according to Moon. Thou shalt not play with 2 first half fouls! Period. The end. Doesn't matter the player, the game context etc. Just no! He is 341st in the country in two foul participation. He was 357th last year. And the same back...

Its been coming for awhile, but this is a seminal moment for the program. Till this one, we were always the "little engine that could" and pulled off the upsets etc. This one is the first one where we go into a game a legit heavyweight in the sport and get it done (on the road!) against...

So its a little surprising that we have actually moved up after our lost week in DC. But I think its all moot - - - in order to be in the at-large discussion, we, by definition, have to lose another game and if that happens I just don't see us having much of a chance for an at-large. Our Net...

Outstanding 4th qtr. Not as flashy as earlier runs, but did the way we usually do - - - just win the grind each and every trip. Good D every trip, no sloppy turnovers and put pressure on offensively for as long as it takes to get our shot.

Really good for first three minutes of the qtr. but sorta shaky after that.

Could do without Maggie taking charges in the last minute of the qtr with 3 fouls already!!

Danger time. No more fouls here on Maggie and we need to find some offense while she sits out.

One real problem today is rebounding. Offensive rebounds keeping URI in it (just barely). But that's a problem we will want to get cleaned up as we aren't going to shoot it like this every night!

Key now is to just keep trucking. No turnovers, no long droughts, no Maggie foul trouble.

Well that start was about as good as we could hope for. If Newell can shoot anything close to this we are very tough to defend

Great start but then our problems putting the ball in the bucket resurfaced. Huge half upcoming. Won't make a difference in anything long-term as far chances to win A-10 and dance etc., but will make a huge difference in our psyche I believe. Can't blow a great start and see the offensive...

I don't for one second believe the problem is NIL money. Which is not to say that I don't believe the numbers or relative standing that have been reported. But honestly, "its always something" with Mooney. For a long time it was admissions were too hard and he couldn't recruit the guys he...

This would be my worst nightmare come to life! Agree that if that transpires, we give him an extention!

Lots of good stuff tonight - - but I am not ready to declare us out of the woods yet. Great big step on the road to getting back to our peak but still work to do. Scott was an absolute freaking revelation and tops the list. Did it on both ends and contagious energy! Freshman guards were all...
