Anyone watching URI?

[AdamaNation]

as they did with us the talking heads at halftime think they will easily get smoked in the second half as OU is just too big.

I am instead of doing my job... I like their energy, tenacity, spunk, bla bla bla. I dislike their offense. Weave, screen roll, guard goes one-on-one. Gross. Sounds familiar so maybe that's a good thing as far as keeping/attracting good guards. Does this mean I do not want Hurley? Of course not. Just would like to see something more offensively.

Im watching on my desktop for free. When the hell were my prayers answered? Except for the whole UCONN missing part.

they've got the size, and trae young is shooting 100-percent in the first half. could be a bad draw for hurley.

They had 8 assists and only 2 TOs on 14 made FGs in the first half. That's pretty pretty good.

 

[Matrim55]

Remember when KO stopped recruiting Jared Terrell because we didn't need another guard? And how that cost us Abdul-Malik Abu as well?

Sigh.

 

[Block C]

Awesome game so far

 

[Travelman6]

35 footer to tie it at 44. Wow, that Rhode island guy has an odd shot/release.

This could be a great game, has the makings.

URI has less talent than OU but they are well coached.

I don’t know. Not sure what to think.

URI’s offense dissolves quickky into hero ball. And they do a bad job of rebounding. No boxing out.

On this single game snapshot I’m not seeing a team any better than UConn in running offense.

I do like their tenacity and toughness. Defensively there’s more effort.

Hate when the latter happens!

 

[Huskybass]

URI doesn't have much up front. Can we send them DO in exchange for Hurley?

Absolutely. Still, dislike the system. Relies on having multiple players who can make plays. This is where our offense died for the last 2-3 years. If you've got 2-3 guards who can breakdown and be triple threats then it *can* work for you. But there's a small margin of error there. Just my $0.02.

Def. have less talent. Playing hard though.

He doesn't really have a system. He's got multiple playmakers, so that's how he plays.

Sadly. Everything I hear sounds like what we already dealt with. Hero ball. Weave. Boring offense. Other team can’t miss all of a sudden (I get trae young)..etc.

I came here to say this same thing. The last few minutes have turned into a hero ball. But they aren't usually a hero ball type of team, they drive and dish really well. I'm thinking they are just having a tough time with the size of OU when they get in the lane, kinda throwing them off their game a bit. They have some ballers tho, and believe they should win, so hang on - will be a good first tourney game to the end.

??? Are you watching the game?

 

[Scoe]

URI can't finish at the rim to save their lives even when they have an open layup they act like Emeka is in the paint ok they got a layup there.

About 14 years ago. Streaming went from CBS to NCAA dot com about 5 years ago, IIRC. There is also an app.

Then you don't understand what you're watching.

Ya so why don’t we bring KO back and give him a raise

 

[Robertelamin]

Oh wow

 

[Scoe]

Wow a 6 point swing.

 

[spudzj6]

this URI team wouldn't even allow this years UConn team to get in the building. No contest.
