URI travels to Morgantown to take on former A-10 foes West Virginia & from what I hear it is tougher than a long weekend at your in-laws. This is the return game from last season but with the caveat that WVU was too afraid to play at the Ryan Center, so this game was played at Mohegan. After WVU’s last game in Cancun, Huggins said “They embarrassed us a year ago. They rubbed it in. That should be a game we should be looking forward to.” I have no idea why he thinks we rubbed it in but I do recall Blue Man getting booted from the game because he was yelling at the refs hair gel usage. This game is really going to be a test for Rhody. The Mountaineers 4 leading scorers & rebounders are all 6’7” or higher so the length of this team could prove to be problematic. We will need Harris to stay out of foul trouble is we want to win this one. Go Rhody!
