Once again, not bothering with an in-depth write-up since who knows if this game will be played. In theory URI will open up A-10 play on the road against George Mason this Wednesday. The Patriots are lead by Junior forward Josh Oduro who is averaging 17 & 6.5. Along with Oduro, three other players score the majority of the team's points, including 2 tall guards in D’Shawn Schwartz & Davonte Gaines, bot at 6'7". Gaines is sneaky good three point shooter, shooting over 50% for the season. URI has won 7 of the last 8 meetings, including 3-0 on the road during that time. Hopefully that trend will continue. My guess is George Mason will be favored by about 5. Hopefully Rhody can secure the victory, but I just don’t know if it will happen. My prediction, George Mason 71 – URI 67. Here’s hoping the Rams prove me wrong. Happy New Year & Go Rhody!!
