URI travels to the Bronx to take on the lowly Fordham Rams. I am not even sure this game deserves a write-up but then I realized Fordham has won 3 of the last 4 (2 of those at the Ryan Center) against Rhody. WTF, how is that even possible!? So there you have it, here is the write-up. URI is coming off a tough OT loss in Davidson in which they did not shoot the ball well in the first half. They battle back in the 2nd half but end up losing in OT. Rhody will need to shoot the ball better than they did in Davidson if they want to win in the Bronx. As for Fordham, well…they are Fordham. 1-13 in the conference. In 6 of their conference games they failed to reach 50 points & one of those contests they didn’t surpass 40. Yikes! They don’t have anyone scoring over 11 a game. This team is not very good. Rhody needs to just take care of business, get the win & go home. Don’t look ahead to St. Louis & Dayton. Just win the damn game. URI should be favored by about 16. URI starts off slow but ends up winning 63-49. Go Rhody!!
