There is a game tonight. Not much interest on either board. Checked the Rhody board yesterday and no game thread existed. I think Rhody has some talented players, but have not been winning that much on the court. They did beat UMass by 12 and then lost by 2. Hopefully we are not in mid week away game low energy mode tonight.

A couple of interesting minutes played in the UMass /URI games

at URI Green 38 Cross 0 URI by 12
at UMass Cross 38 Green 19 UMass by 2

 

[spider23]

My understanding is Green was a guy that they got eligible due to the legalities around the 2x transfers, and was a big boost to the roster - at least at first. A stretch four type that has had some big games for them.

 

[SpiderRick]

NEED AGGRESSIVENESS FROM NEAL QUINN. And consistency. Back to back strong inside presence, Neal.

All caps were for Brownstone...

 

[SpiderDogg]

Need a big bigelow rebounding game tonight

Is that you, Owen Meany?

 

[plydogg]

I’m really excited for this one. Time to get another winning streak going. I just don’t see how Rhode Island is going to be able to stop us. And there’s no way they’re going to be able to score on us.

 

[SFspidur]

So, 647–0 score incoming?

 

[spider23]

Heading out to Blackies shortly to hang with my dude Grasso, then onto the game.






Just checking to see if GK is paying attention. Not hanging with Jared tonight, he had plans.

Not hanging with Jared tonight, he had plans.

with a therapist, hopefully.

 

[spider23]

Parole officer. At least that was what his wife told me when she answered his phone. The rest is not safe for internet message board.

Blackie's!

I remain very dissapointed in that place. The decor, the vibe. All of it. I was picturing blue collar. Darts. Draft beer. Drugs out back. A real bar.

Grasso should have been fired just for that being his neighborhood hangout.

LET’S GO!!

 

[Eight Legger]

The student sideline reporter says if we win and Dayton loses tonight, we clinch the 1-seed! Put that kid in the selection committee too! 🤣

 

[gospidersgo]

Wright gets away with palming quite a bit...

Yea..don't see how the math ends up with that one....

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders struggling to find their flow, while the Rams are being aggressive. Recipe for a Spider loss, so we'd better figure it out.

 

[Spider2020]

Not gonna win rebounding like this

 

[Dr. Spidey]

The announcers also said “Rhode Island is one of the better teams in the A10”.

 

[Spider2020]

URI on pace for 25 offensive rebounds

 

[whampas]

Mooney's kingdom for a rebound.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

DLo being aggressive. Like that.

 

[SpiderRick]

Coach needs to spark a fire.

 

[Eight Legger]

Just need to shut down this big Fuchs.

 

[MDspider8]

We are getting cooked by this Fuchs guy.

 

[Spider2020]

Our pick and roll defense has been atrocious, it’s a free layup each time

 

[Eight Legger]

Someone needs to give a few Fuchs on defense.

 

[Spider2020]

Quinn finally boxes out and gets called for a foul

 

[SFspidur]

Frustrating game to watch. We're by no means out of it, but playing from behind the whole time is exhausting.

 

[Eight Legger]

I think it will be fine. Fuchs isn't going to score 40, and they really don't seem to have a lot else other than House. Stay close and we will be fine in the second half, I suspect.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Pattern

 

[MDspider8]

Dji is so so good attacking the rim. Need those FT’s to start falling though

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Why are free points the hardest to obtain

 

[bullfrog91]

Free throws not out friend today....love dji but really needs to work on the free throws....

 

[SFspidur]

All things considered, thrilled to be down 2 at the half.

 

[MDspider8]

Our defense has fallen off a cliff the last three games. Thankfully we have the offense talent to score with anyone, but we need to find whatever defensive energy we had at the start of conference play.
