Only player we have is AP. They are so much better everywhere else. Last year losing Matthew's was the excuse for the loss to Valpo. This year it is their Coach Hurley's fault and only 3 guys came ready to play. After back to back losses to Valpo in last 2 seasons, one would think we might have earned a little respect from their fans. Guess not. Have a drink and calm down Rhody fans. You will win a lot of games this season. It is early and this WAS your teams first real road game. Hope the series continues. Great for both schools.
Just wanted to chime in and give maybe some of you a better idea of why our fans are so upset.
It's not because we don't think Valpo is a quality team, although I know there were a few people who were overly confident going into the game. The reason people are upset is because it's the same issues we've seen in the past even though we have the best team on paper in arguably two decades. No flow to our offense, bench not contributing, Hurley only playing Stan Robinson 6 minutes even though he deserves way more, down by 3 with the ball and we can't even get off a shot. On top of that, EC had his third game in a row not reaching double figures.
Those who say we still have great team and there's nothing to worry about are the ones who are only looking at this team on paper. They aren't the ones who have watched every game Hurley has coached at URI.
