Well, the regular season mercifully comes to close in Philadelphia as the Rams take on Saint Joseph’s. the Hawks look to make it a sweep over the Rams as the women’s team shocked URI Friday night in the A10 tournament. Saint Joseph’s has lost 7 in a row & after another disappointing season, coach Billy Lange is probably on the hot seat. The Hawks are locked in for the bottom four teams while URI with a win & a UMass loss they could avoid the Wednesday tournament games. 3 of their 4 conference wins have been at home for Saint Joseph’s. The Hawks have 4 players averaging double digits in scoring, led by Jordan Hall’s 14.2. If the Rams are looking to build confidence prior to the A10 tournament, playing the Hawks will help their chances of getting the win. Will it happen…ummm…probably not. I am predicting a sloppy close game. Final score Saint Joseph’s 67 – URI 65. Go Rhody!!
