Rhody, winners of 8 straight conference games, take on rival UMass at the Ryan Center Tuesday night. On paper this is a game that the Rams should easily win…but when they play the Minutemen it seems like anything can happen. UMass has a few local connections with players Preston Santos (Providence) & TJ Weeks (Warwick) who both played at Bishop Hendricken at some point in their college career. And of course, Rhody great & my favorite Ram ever, Tyson Wheeler is an assistant coach on the UMass staff. Unfortunately, TJ Weeks has been injured for much of the season & probably won’t be playing on Tuesday. This game will feature another good match-up down low with Cyril & Tre Mitchell. Look for Rhody to pressure the young ball handlers forcing run outs on turnovers. Rhody wins this going away, 77-63. Let's keep this going! Go Rhody!!
