Re: How Far Is Rhody Going In The A10?

They'll score 90 again against St. Louis and this time hold them to 88 to win. Then going up against a better defensive team with the Dukes combined with Rhody's poor defense will finish us off on Wednesday.

Re: Do you want URI to win today?

I'm like ATP. Driving to work and heard them mention the game on the radio in sports. Was like "oh yeah thats today" Sad that I've fallen to this level with them. I'll hope they win but will move forward without being upset about a loss. Time to turn the page on this season and head coach.

They have to do quarters because its an NBA game that they can plug all the stats and players into. Luckily they can adjust the time to 10 mins to make 20 min halves. Notice there was a tie up in the first half. They had to do a jump ball not alternating possession.
