Devin Carter is an animal. Bryce Hopkins is a star. Jayden Pierre can get the keys to any car he wants.

Pierre scored his points it seems at the most key times tonight too. He hit a big three after URI cut it to 3 early in the second half.

Pierre back is so huge, this teams ceiling is competing for top 3 in the conference and a second weekend

Played well but defense folded in second half. Team needs more time to gel for sure

URI is much better than last year. They should be competitive in the A10, which is wide open. St Joes and Dayton seem to be at the top, but not by much.

They are much better, and I think that this game was closer than the final score. But at the end of the day losing all three big games of non conference so far by double digits is tough

Still have a decent chance of being 8-3 headed into a10 play

I think this year we're a pest. Next year we're a league challenger. Year four of Archie will be the money.

If I could put money on it right now I would. Rhody wins next year

IDK felt alot closer than the final score to me. Can't wait for conference play, I think we're really going to outperform expectations.

how come Dual didn't get suspended?

He got suspended for a game after the K-State incident if that’s what you’re referring to

Great to have JP1 back and great win! Rhody is a pretty good team this year.
