KNOW THE FOE: Picked fifth in the 14-team Atlantic 10, the Rams have lost to Providence, College of Charleston and Stony Brook — teams with a combined 24-7 record. … Guard Jeff Dowtin (16.6 pts, 3.9 assists) and forward Cyril Langevine (15.7 pts, 11.3 rebs) are mid-major standouts, and don’t forget about Fatts Russell, a 165-pound guard who scores 12.4 per game. … 6-foot-8 freshman Jermaine Harris (4.7 pts, 3.7 rebs) was a four-star recruit last season who chose URI over West Virginia, Georgetown, Maryland and Tennessee.
