This is the second game in a row against a Conference USA opponent as URI travels to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to close out a home and home series with the Blue Raiders. Last year at the Ryan Center, Rhody was up just one halfway through the second half but thanks to a 15-0 run that lead ballooned to 16 & it gave URI the win. Middle Tennessee has four wins on the season but three of those wins are against non-D1 opponents. The last game St Bonaventure came to town & they snuck out a one-point win against the Blue Raiders. I think Rhody’s size with Cyril, Harris & Walker will be too much for MTSU to handle. I would like to see Jeff get his shot back in this one. The rims have been very unkind to him as he has had many shots rattle out & is only shooting a smidge under 30% in his last 3 outings. URI should end 2019 with a road win before heading back to RI to play at Brown in the new year. Happy Holidays Rhody Nation!!
