Good work

[COBBLESTONE]

Is that for me or the team?

It's been a great season so far but are games have been close against opposition which we should have beaten more handidly. Still beating PC was sweet. BC will be a tough test and then we've got Oklahoma St. lurking. Still a ways to go before A-10 conference play.

[COBBLESTONE]

80-69 victory over (ACC) BC. Four players in double figures. URI now 8-1.

Loving all the wins the FCS teams are having against the big boys!

That is a head turner - Okie State is a traditional power.

Keep it up URI.

Hopefully URI doesn't repeat what they have done the last few years. They seem to start off very strong and then fade. I would like to see them sneak into the Top 25.

I hear you. I remember last season around this time we were 10-0 and did sneak into the top 25. We ended up just over .500 and had to settle for an NIT invite. Baron teams tend to start out fast then fade during the halfway point. I hope this season is different.

[COBBLESTONE]

Tough loss today. 68-64 to Temple in OT. Good effort against a top 25 team though.

[dgreco]

I was looking forward to seeing the result of this game, and an OT loss is a tough loss. Hopefully its not that time of year.

The A-10 is a lot tougher than people give the conference credit for. We hung tough with Temple but lost the game at the charity stripe. I'm hoping Baron has those guys shooting foul shots like crazy at practice.

Personally, I think if we can hang with Temple that we should be able to beat most of our competition in the A-10. Time will soon tell.
