Rhode Island

Big game this Saturday. 3pm on ESPN3 ( which is absurd it not being on the regular networks).

Rhode Island has received some ranking love, currently sitting at #21 in the AP Poll, #22 in the coaches poll and KenPom has them at #34.

They have two blow out wins against lesser competition in Dartmouth and Marist winning 84-61 and 107-65, respectively.

Going to be a tough game since 1. Rhode Island is a good team and 2. the game is being played roughly 40 miles from their campus.

#1 Jarvis Garrett (PG)

I feel like these are their two main players. We gotta come ready to play Obviously this team can score. We need to make some shots. They play Brown Wednesday. We will have to see how they look compared to them. I'd imagine pretty good but would love to see Brown lose by a reasonable amount.

Im hoping we come in much more rested. Rhode Island plays on Wednesday night against Brown.

Gonna be a Battle from tip to finish. Really shitty its on ESPN3.. but thats the cost of playing a game on Saturday during college football season

Gotta work the ball on offense better than we did in the 1st half last night. Avoid fouls so we have our optimal lineup and work for easy shots. I know college guys often have trouble adjusting to shooting in unfamiliar arenas. Can't let that hurt us.

I'm not calibrated to do basketball lines at all right now. But I'll give it a whirl and say we will be -2.5.

UC 64
Rhode Island 63

I hope we look to push when we have opportunities. I worry about a halfcourt rock fight. We gotta find a few easy buckets.

Jake, I agree. I'd imagine we are favored to win this game by a couple of points.

can someone post their schedule and results from last year. My computer won't let me. I went through it quickly and nothing really impressed me. I know they didn't have Matthews though.

I think this will be a real tough win. I am worried about how we score against real competition. The game plan for URI on defense will be simple. Clog the middle, see if UC can make shots, URI is athletic enough to challenge shots while still clogging the middle. If our guards don't attack and they sit back, it could be tough to score.
