GW faces the 15-3 Rhode Island Rams today (pictured right, get it?). The Rams have been in the top 25 this season and are still in the RPI top 25. However, they're only 1-2 in conference, falling to SLU and #16/18 Dayton.The game is a rematch of last year's A-10 title game, when as we know GW beat the team from the smallest state 78-69. They're led by Will Daniels, who's at 18.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and coach's son Jimmy Baron, who is scoring 15.8 with 44% from behind the arc. There are also four other players scoring 8 or above. For the season, URI is scoring 83 points a game, whereas GW is at 62, and is shooting 48.5% vs GW's 41.4%. Rebounding is about even.
While GW was better against Xavier, this doesn't look too good for the Colonials. Here's Herve's preview, the GWSports preview, and a Providence Journal article.
