The University of Rhode Island host an early afternoon game this Saturday against George Washington. The Colonials are led by a pair of guards who both average 15 per game, James Bishop & Virginia Tech transfer Joe Bamisile. Bamisile is a solid defender as well, averaging roughly 1.5 blocks & steals per game. Those 2 players are their main threats from deep. George Washington also has former URI commit who went to UConn with Hurley, Brendan Adams. He is averaging 9 & 4 but is shooting a paltry 21% from deep. Another player of note to keep an eye on is the former teammate of the Mitchell twins at Maryland, Ricky Lindo Jr. He is averaging 8 & 8. His game reminds me a bit of Antwan Walker’s but gets more rebounds/blocks. With that being said, GW is not a very good team. They opened A10 play with 25+ losses to Dayton & VCU. URI should be favored by about 14 in this contest. After their last debacle, I would like to say Rhody wins & covers, but who knows. Hopefully the Rams play like they did against UMass opposed to how they played against La Salle. I am expecting somewhere in the middle. Rhody wins this one, 74-62. Go Rhody!!

Interesting that they have 2 former Rhody commits: Amir Harris and Brendan Adams

Their top big Lindo has missed the last 2 games.

Adams is a significant contributor, Harris is getting about as much time as me and you.

Yes, remember the days of head coaches: Mike Jarvis, Tom Penders, and Karl Hobbs.

Yinka Dare. Died at only 31 years old of a heart attack.

[steveystuds06]

This team has some talent, but they play like a CYO team. You'll see a lot of bad shots and a lot of 1 on 1 Baron ball. They can't shoot, and their defense is nothing special. Idk if they have a D1 caliber big besides Lindo. We should win by 15+....

Beat GW and get ready for a legit opponent in Richmond.

Go Rhody!!

Yinka Dare - somehow making NBA Jam TE is a great A10 story.

Ha, he was a first round draft pick, you know! NBA Jam TE rosters had five players, and the options on some of the bad teams of the time aren't great. I know that I seldom played as the Boston teams of that era, since the options were like Dino Radja, David Wesley, Dana Barros and (for one year) really old Kevin McHale.

[KeaneyBluBallz]

GW squeaks out with a 5 point dub

[reef]

Oh wow didn’t realize Adams went from UConn to GW

[RI_Bred]

Will be in attendance with the wife tomorrow, perfect segue into football...!

Thought you were talking about URI until the Defense remark!

He may be that, but he is awful shooter beyond the arc, much worse than Fatts ever was.

[Jersey77]

Hearing on the GW site that they will again be without starting bigs Lindo (6'8"/220) and Brown (6'11"/270).
Who knows if that will be the case, not official.

[ElmCityRhody]

Another big win by coach

We got a weiner here !

Heard from reliable source that neither of them will play.

[ramster]

URI -15.5 points

[Jersey77]

URI -15.5 points

Yes, this is a game we should dominate.

I was much more concerned about St. Joe's, UMass, and even LaSalle.
But like every conference game, nothing is a given.

Guards Bishop and Bamisile can really light it up.
Adams and Freeman are steady.
Outside of that, the team will be lacking depth and very mediocre.
All 4 guards will spend much time on the court together.
They all had the most minutes with their win against GM.

We need to come out of the gate strong and impose our will immediately.
Keep our feet on the gas and don't let up.

After our game against LaSalle, Cox needs to have this team playing with an attitude.

[PeteRI]

I'm just happy to.have a day game on the weekend. Should be fun. (No, I'm not being sarcastic.)

[ATPTourFan]

I plan on attending. Come say hi as I will be a the top of 206.

[Maine66]

Heading down to Kingston today with my daughter and grand daughter as guests in the President's box. Plan to arrive early so I can show my grand daughter, who is a junior in high school, the campus. Hopefully I'll run into a couple of fraternity brothers as I did at Homecoming last fall.

[URI_T&F’08]

Bringing my son down for the first time in a few years. He’s 5 so I know he doesn’t need vaxx card. Do I need the actual card itself or can I take a picture and leave it at home?

Have a great trip/visit! Whereabouts in Maine are you coming from?

……..I will take three all the way……..thanks

[UCH21377]

It seems like every team that comes in this year is missing players. It makes it hard to get excited about these games. Probably impacts our team too as they know they are playing against depleted rosters.

I hope this game will give Tres and Ileri the opportunity for some decent minutes.

Picture on you phone is fine. They barely glance at it. Have fun!

Well we know they're game planning with these guys playing anyway

[DeanDome88]

It would be nice just for one game for the team to play hard and dominate a weak opponent from start to finish. It might even give the faithful some hope that Cox's coaching is not more suitable for AAU basketball.

I mean, they did this to Georgia State, Milwaukee, and UMass. It's not like every game this year has been like the La Salle game.

[PeteRI]

Judging from the parking lot I thought we'd have a big crowd today. Pretty empty so far ...

[RF1]

I hope that Cox reminds his players of that ugly loss last year to a bad GW team and uses it to motivate them.

Martin out today. Probably see some more of Carey I would imagine.

[section(105)]

…….coach/Dr G on the color role……I like that

[steveystuds06]

The Mitchell twins should score 100 on this team

[steviep123]

[PeteRI]

8-3 at 16:00 mark. Makhel looking good.

[reef]

Not a bad start up 8-3

We shouldn’t have too much of a problem today

[steviep123]

Keep feeding the twins and Walker. Then the outside game will open too.

Agree he’s very good

….loved talking hoops with him, years ago, at one of those prep all star type thing Rhody usedtohost in Kearney……good guy….

[PeteRI]

GW has more turnovers than a bakery.

[adam914]

Nice start, hopefully the LaSalle game woke them up a little. And man GW looks bad! (missing some key guys to obviously)

[PeteRI]

Makhi doing a great impression of Jermaine Harris.

[steviep123]

Why is Mitchell taking 3s?

[KingstonLane]

Defense has been lights out

[Joe95]

How are we not up 12+ right now. A couple of terrible offensively possession’s.
