With Creighton and Rhode Island looming in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Sacramento, I reached out to Mid Major Madness’s Greg Mitchell - a Rhode Island information source - and asked him a few questions about the Rams.
1. URI started the season in the top 25 but dropped out after losing to Valpo and Providence. What was the general consensus on this team to start the season?
The Rams were the lone A-10 team in the AP top-25 to begin the year, which was strange to think about mid-season as VCU and Dayton had clearly separated themselves in the league race.
