Twitter Reactions: Frustration in Friartown, Joy in Kingston

Some of the reaction across Twitter following URI’s convincing win over Providence last night:

Kevin McNamara: The State belongs to the Ramshttps://t.co/awPEBhZewu

This paragraph by @KevinMcNamara33 is devastating for #pcbb, a team that entered season w so much promise, only to look very mediocre after 10 games. When #friars lost to #Northwestern I took that as very bad sign & completely dialed back expectations. Unfortunately I was right pic.twitter.com/jc7hmgu6YT

Ed Cooley: “We didn’t deserve to be in the building. That was a piss poor performance. I’m very, very disappointed in the group. I’m more disappointed in myself. Hopefully I can do a much better job the next time we play.” #PCBB #Friars

Fatts Russell — ‘I struggled last year, and it opened my eyes. I took the summer and just locked myself in the gym three or four times a day. It’s paying off.’ #URI #Rams #pcbbhttps://t.co/NG8q3IO03n

WATCH: Fatts Russell and his squad run the Friars out of Kingston, 75-61. What a day to be a Ram. #GoRhody @RhodyMBB pic.twitter.com/z39WbTkcFF

Outside of Michigan State, Providence might be the most disappointing team in the country this year. They are just bad.

— Bobby Reagan (@BarstoolReags) December 7, 2019

Providence had 13(!) first half turnovers with Alpha Diallo accounting for 5 of those. Another key in URI’s favor is the Rams’ 12/17 at the FT line against 3/7 from the Friars #pcbb

As Fatts Russell just left the press conference he said into the mic, “Do you guys think it’s a rivalry?”

Ed Cooley jacket off and he’s pissed

Fatts Russell had the last word at the postgame press conference tonight.

With two wins over PC, scoring 20+ points in both games under his belt, he left with this:

“Do you guys think it’s a rivalry?”

Best “shot” of the night by Fatts, who had some big ones in 2nd half enroute to game-high 24 pts, hitting 4 of 5 treys, as @RhodyMBB “Owns the State” with 75-61 thumping of @PCFriarsmbb https://t.co/SArLZeLwWj

The “is PC-URI a rivalry” question came up once again this week.

While working on tonight’s story, I found this clip.

Ed Cooley after “Bentil at the Buzzer”, days after this initially came up.

“As a fan, it is a rivalry game.

As a coach, it’s how I feed my kids.” @ABC6 pic.twitter.com/KnRcZi7zB5
