Tribe opens as 10 point dogs.
Still looking for first road win.

Hassan Martin, who has missed their last 3 games with a quad pull, should still be out. Cannot let all three of their starting guards have good games. EC Matthews was held scoreless in their last outing, so, will be loaded for bear tonight.
Will be interesting with Tribe bball alum, David Cox, on their bench as associate head coach.
Also, starting senior center Kuran Iverson, was Daniel's teammate at Fishburne.

RE: Rhody
E.C. Matthews (6'5" Guard) and Hassan Martin (6'7" Forward) are their Big Two, but Martin has been bothered by a Quad injury and has missed the last three contests. Kuran Iverson (6'9" Forward) has been playing very well of late.
Me and TH both "on the job", mine took a minute more because I "bolded" (for the older readers...).

RE: Rhody
Anyone know if the game is on ESPN, or should I prepare for another fun journey to Stretch land?

RE: Rhody
It looks like Dixon will still be coming off the bench in favor of Connor. Daniel looked really good in the 6th man role in the second half of the SSU game. Hopefully that continues.

Blah, Rhody. The CAA gets the one sport of which they suck.
3 good guards. Not music to my ears.
One Tribe. One Family.

Game notes say that it is only available for purchase on the A-10 network ($6.95) or if you happen to live in Rhode Island it will be on myRITV.
This is a bad look for either Rhode Island or the A-10. For comparison, Dean College vs. NJIT is on ESPN3 tonight.

The time record so notes that you beat me to the punch, BillyMac. I was going to use your initials, but then realized that it wouldn't be very nice of me
RI message board not giving us much credit and expect a meltdown if they lose to us. When announced on their schedule last summer, it was perceived as a very solid OOC game. Now, not so. Bringing up the rear in CAA rpi ranking with hapless JMU will do that to you. Rhody is 6-0 at home, but has not lived up to expectations on the road in their preconference schedule. Hope we can get some inside buckets early on to balance our attack, otherwise, may be a long night if we are not good from 3 pt land, since they are focusing on denying the latter. Go Tribe!

RE: Rhody
I can't imagine that there will be a lot of people at the game. We can definitely beat these guys. We just need to be tough and not back down. We should score plenty of points. My only big fear is Whitman and Knight getting three fouls each in the first half.

I think they are confused, as I am.
What can you make of a team that has two losses against top 10 opponents (games which most thought we "looked good" in losing), a road loss to a good MAC team where we had a 2nd half slumber party, a loss to Hampton - another 2nd half slumber party - and jaw dropping scores against two D3 opponents and two D1 opponents, both ranked in the bottom ten teams according to Sagarin.
There's not enough games against teams 15-320 to realty get a feel on where we could/should be.
I would be disappointed if we didn't make this a tight game.

A Rhode Island broadcast would have a disproportionate amount of Dunkin Donuts commercials

RE: Rhody
I hate the way the refs are calling stuff on Knight. I didn't either call on him was a foul.

Agreed. I don't think he even knows what he's doing "wrong"
