The Rams head back home to the friendly confines of the Ryan Center after opening conference play with a tough loss at Davidson. Rhody was in the game the entire time & even up 6 with under 5 & a half to play. Unfortunately, the wheels fell off a bit for the remainder of the game, they couldn’t hit a shot & turned the ball over 3 times. The Hawks are led by 3rd year head coach Billy Lange, who has a 28% winning percentage since taking over. On the court, the Hawks are led by Jordan Hall who took over after Ryan Daly & fills up the stat sheet much like he did as he is averaging 16.4/6.5/6.5. In addition, Taylor Funk is still around & as pesky as ever. The 5th year senior is roughly 14 & 7 & is shooting roughly 42% from 3. Walker or Martin will probably be covering him when they aren’t playing both Mitchell’s at the same time. Rhody should be favored by about 5.5 in this contest. I think it will be a Rhody win & cover. URI wins this one 74-67. Go Rhody!!
