After a loss at home against Dayton, the University of Rhode Island head on the road to Washington, DC to take on the George Washington Colonials. The Rams look to avenge an utterly pathetic home loss they had to the Colonials last month, which kicked off the death spiral of this season. Up 18-3 a quarter of the way through the game & then the bottom fell out after shooting an abysmal 2 for 19 from deep. Things will be even tougher for Rhody as the Colonials have Ricky Lindo Jr back after missing the first contest. The Colonials are coming off an almost 20-point road win at Duquesne in which they held the Dukes to under 28% from the field & a shocking 1 for 21 from deep. I know Duquesne stinks, but wow. The Colonials have 2 players in double digits, James Bishop with 17.3 & Joe Bamisile with 14.8. Which Rhode Island team will show up in DC, the one like in the home game against Davidson or will it be like the last time Rhody played George Washington? Forward Hunter Dean had his way the last time these two teams played, going for 15 & 11. To put that into perspective, in 2 of his 4 games following the Rhody game he went scoreless in 2 of them even though he played 34+ minutes in both. Even though it is a road game for the Rams, I think they will be favored by 2 points. Sadly, I will be taking the home underdog over the Rams. Colonials 64 – Rhody 61. Go Rhody!!
