Rhody, winners of 9 straight conference games, head to the District to take on the George Washington Colonials. To quote one well known Admiral, “It’s a trap!” George Washington is coming off back to back 20+ losses on the road. The Colonials may be hovering just below .500 but Rhody can’t slip up on this game thinking about playing in Dayton next week. URI must take care of business in our nation’s capital before setting their sights on the Flyers. Like Rhody, GW has 4 players averaging 30+ minutes a game. Contain Armel Potter, their point guard who dishes the ball very well & is also their leading scorer & it may be tough for GW to find the needed points to pull out the victory. The Colonials have 2 freshmen in their starting frontcourt, so look for Cyril to get back to his double double ways (He has only 1 in his last 6 games). We were robbed of another RI connection in this match-up because RI native Justin Mazzulla is transferring from GW to UVM. During this 9 game win streak URI has outscored their opponents 74-67, so that is what I am going with for a final score in this one. Go Rhody!!
