After going down 22-2 to Northwestern & then kind of making a game out of it, Rhody faces Washington St in the consolation game Sunday afternoon to finish up the Hall of Fame tournament. The Rams had their toughest test of the season, so Rhode Island fans have a better sense as to where this team stands on the season. They now take on the Washington State Cougars, who lost to Mississippi St earlier 76-64.

In the Pac12, the Cougars were picked to finish tenth in the preseason polls. Washington State’s coach is Kyle Smith is in his fifth season. Last season they were knocked out of the NIT in the first round against Eastern Washington. On the court, the Cougars are led by redshirt freshman Miles Rice. He is the feel good story for Washington State as he was medically redshirted last season while receiving treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Thankfully he is cleared and in remission this season & since getting back on the court he has been lighting it up. He is currently leading the team in both points and assists. Senior forward Andrej Jakimovski is second on the team in scoring as well as rebounding with 14 & 6.7. Another player to keep an eye on is fifth year senior transfer from Idaho, Isaac Jones. He is averaging just under 14 & 9.

As for the Rams, they really need to rebound after Saturday's game. Speaking of rebounding, they need to do better as they were badly outrebounded against Northwestern. When Barnhizer got his own missed shot in traffic & kicked it out for the dagger three, that was a tough sequence and an epitome of how the game went. They will also need Jaden House to, how should I say this, not do that again. Very difficult game for him as the shots were not falling as he finished 2 for 13.

This is a winnable game on Sunday, they just can’t play like they did first quarter of the game. Now that I think of it, I really didn’t need to type out such an obvious sentence, but I guess there is no turning back now. Ha. To get the win, they will need to slowdown Myles Rice. I watched Saturday’s game & Rice looks like a really good player. If House plays like he did the first 3 games of the season, they will get the win. My prediction, URI 69 – Washington St 65. Go Rhody!!

That’s a Big, mature front line, Ramster. Another good test for our front court.

Can our front court bounce back and play better against WASU ?

Bigs gotta toughen up, played way too soft against NW today. Soft hands too, and not in a good way.

They played Miss St tough , going to be a hard game for us

Agree. THIS will be the real test: how we respond to getting punched in the mouth the first quarter of the NW game. Bigs gotta toughen up, they got surprised by the physicality from the jump.

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 5 months ago

Well, they better toughen up real fast. They were charmin soft the first 12 minutes. Welcome to D1 basketball boys. You have to impose your will on the other team.

UCH21377 · Unread post by **UCH21377** » 5 months ago

Rice played very well in the first game but injured his ankle late. Their other guard played well also. We will be giving up size in the front court again. But Miss St pushed their guys around.

WSU was picked to finish 10th in the Pac12

Don't get off to the worst start imaginable, get House going and we can have a good chance to take this one.

I see EspnU @ 330 pm

Jersey77 · Unread post by **Jersey77** » 5 months ago

I watched the entire WSU/Miss. State game, and they battled top 25 Miss. State almost the entire game.
They have a very big and efficient frontcourt as mentioned above and quick capable guards in Rice and Kansas transfer Yesufu.
All 5 of their starters can go off on us and score double-digits.

We must do a better job on the boards and of course our FT shooting still concerns me.
Yes, we can win this game but can't have lapses again and let the game get away from us.

Gorhody says 330, and that’s the time the PA said yesterday at the arena..

ESPNU is the worst, need extra cable package or another streaming to watch it.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 5 months ago

DISH Network still says consolation game at 1:00 on ESPN2 and championship game at 3:30 on ESPNU. But I imagine the GORHODY time is correct.

HOF tip off website says championship game at 1pm, consolation game at 330pm.

Win vs WSU and I’ll be happy. URI dug too deep of a hole yesterday starting off a game like that.

Native · Unread post by **Native** » 5 months ago

In terms of Sunday’s television coverage of the HOF tip off, the championship game (NW versus Miss State) started at 1pm on ESPN2, and the consolation game (URI versus Wash State) will be at 3:30pm on ESPNU.

If anyone cares to notice, URI women are running #14 NC State out of their own building right now, 23-13 in the 2nd Quarter. You know, the same team that famously beat UConn a week ago to get that #14 ranking.

No biggie. Carry on.
