RU Hoops : Should we ask for Rice back?

Alright, let's forget I asked that question.  Sorry Eddie, I know it's too soon to give up hope, but you're sitting at 4-4 coming off a loss to fucking FDU.  You lost to Drexel and fucked up your chances to play in MSG for the NIT Tip-Off.  You've added "giving up 91 points to a half-retarded Division II school" to your resume (Stillman College--still convinced it's the school from Accepted).  And you narrowly escaped a loss to Yale.  You had about as much business winning that game as the Giants in '07.  But you came out with the victory.  

Frustrations aside, I've seen impressive individual play from several contributors.  Kadeem Jack carried the team over a weak Florida A&M with 30 points and 12 boards, 8 offensive.  Dude has looked like a physical freak over the competition at times.  Seagears dished out 9 assists to along with 15 points against Canisius, and has shown some small heat streaks behind the arc.  I was glad to see D'Von Campbell throw up 17 points against Stillman.  He's been flying under the radar as a guard who has been mixing in nicely with Mack and Seagears. 

I'm just hoping that the transition to the Big Ten isn't going to be miserable in both football AND basketball.  Give us hope again Eddie.  Grow and harvest the raw talent.  At least come up with some wins against Seton Hall and Princeton, and then we can talk AAC play.  If all else fails, maybe keep a Rice mask handy during practices.  Shake em up a bit, ya know?
