More travel this weekend so I can't write anything up. I gotta say though: we're the underdog here, but if we can replicate the effort we saw the first week, it feels like we can do this. URI is a team that's still figuring some things out with the stars from last year's 26-win team having graduated.
 
We'll play the Rams nine years to the day since our last meeting. Pikiell's efforts just began to pay dividends as the URI loss was early on in what turned into an incredible 22-win season. Expectations and the quality of the fan experience have climbed significantly since then.

Rhode Island is another tournament team from last year coming out of a great conference in the A10. They won the A10 regular season and made it to the second round last year. A win over them would be huge and just add to our resume. Can't wait.

We have to limit our turnovers and slow start .  We cant come outshooting 30 % like last night and turn the ball over.

URI is a 9.5 point favorite. Hit it on the nose.

What’s up with Olaniyi? Hurt or suspension?

Five point halftime lead. Awesome to see!! I"ll see if I can catch bits and pieces of the game during commercial breaks in the football game.

Leeeeet’s gooooooooo!!!

Three big wins, guys. At the beginning of the season, we would have taken one of any of them, so to take all three? Wow.

What a victory!!! 10 point win on the road and yet another A10 scalp this season!! Only URI's second home loss in the past two years!! Incredible.


I only managed to watch the last 5-6 minutes on my phone, but I hear Rhode Island had a poor shooting night all around. I'll credit our defense for that  ;D. A lot of our guys were in foul trouble which is concerning, but a win's a win. Great job guys!!!

Great win, and w/o our 2nd best player. Garcia was huge off the bench, and some solid minutes from McKenzie. Some great early mins from the Chef and big Jeff with some nice blocks and hustle. This team continues to defy the odds.

Fellas I think we can go into every game with maximum optimism from here on out. We are NO JOKE!

lets work on fouls.  our team is shooting FTs lights out.  creating leads and holding them.  leveraging our depth and size.

we have turned a corner.  it used to be that these were teams we would jump out early, blow it; or hang around and blow it.  now we win them and lead for most of the game. GO SB

This team is much better than most people thought.   We shot something 87% from the stripe today and 45 %  from the floor.  We can score. defend and rebound with anybody . Great win today against another A10 Team

CoB, couldn’t agree more. I’m ecstatic about the FT shooting!

Even with today’s win they’re still not top 150. Another Holy Cross can easily happen so I would temper the optimism for now.
