The 15-2 Duquesne Dukes come to the Ryan Center undefeated in conference play to take on the URI Rams. The Dukes may have 15 wins this season but their strength of schedule is 167th in the country (URI is 62nd). Their best win is probably St. Louis at home. URI must keep the pedal to the metal in this one as last year they blew an 18-point lead & lost in Duquesne. This game could potentially have a lot of consequences determining which teams get the byes in the conference tournament, so get out & get the W. The Dukes are led by undersized forward Marcus Weathers who goes for 14/8. This game will feature another great guard match-up as Fatts will most likely lineup against Sincere Carry. Slowing down Carry will be a must. Let’s pound the ball inside on them & take advantage of our size/bodies. The students are back on campus, so let’s get the Ryan Center rocking. My prediction, after a slow first half, URI comes back to win by 5. Go Rhody!
