Rhody tonight

I thought there were a couple times Iona might have made a run but they could never get over that 10 point or so hump. I think that technical for hanging on the rim killed a real promising chance. Good solid win at home for RI and Hurley.

Just checked into this game. Looks like RI doing a nice job in the first half, game is in RI. They're up 15. I like Tim Cluess myself but RI doing well so far.

RI averages 67 pts/gm this season and they have 51pts in the first half. 7-13 from 3. That's one thing with Cluess' style, don't expect good defense.

when I turned it on Biruta had just wrestled a rebound , got fouled and went 1 of 2. The Announcers said he was out most of the 1st half with a tech foul, he then went on to miss a chippy under the basket, then try and jam one off the front of the rim. The announcers said he just has to correct his finishes.. (LOL!) Looked very much the same.

Danny then sat him down (about 15mins to go) and never saw him back in the game even though they were up 12-15 pts most of the way.

Guess I add him to the long list of guys who left but didn't do so much different away as they did or would have done here had they stayed...all those transfers and only 1 or 2 I'd say had a period of improved play. And by improved I am not saying they wouldn't have had just as much success (improvement in their personal game) if they had stayed. Most of them looked exactly the same with just a differnet uniform.

Sounds like the same ol Biruta, battling on the boards but still the hacker on defense and clumsy offensively..could've used more bballs tossed at him in practice to "correct" those put back finishes. Mike Rice would have got him "corrected"...

Stanford beat Rhode Island in the NIT Sweet 16.....URI shot only 21 free throws to 49 for Stanford.

49 foul shots? what did they have, 5 refs on the Stanford end of the court? Geez. Was it a 3 hour game?

An interesting game for SHU fans to watch...I wouldn't be surprised to see Danny in South Orange next year.

Wishful thinking?
Thought he would want to ever step foot at shoe due to what happened to him when there?
Rhody is on par to shoe, not a clear step up.

LOL...and RU would be a step up??

Money dictates if it's a step up or not....have no idea what he wants to do, but if it happens, I'll be back:)

RU would be a step up if the administration and athletic department cared about men's basketball. But as it stands, you would have to think that Danny Hurley is aiming higher than both RU and SHU.

Predict Stanford to NIT final four without neat match with Vandy.

For those that are hand-wringing about missing our window to hire a Hurley: Given that if Hermann makes a legitimate facilities plan public and make progress fundraising, we're going to have some GREAT coaching candidates in two, or however many years, in the event that EJ doesn't work out.
