Rhode Island's season ended in the Atlantic 10 semifinals on Saturday, courtesy of a 68-51 defeat at the hands of the fourth seeded St. Bonaventure Bonnies. The Rams (18-15, 11-10*) wrap the 2018-19 season winning six of their last seven contests, among them an upset of top seed VCU in the A-10 quarterfinals. The...

Eighth-seeded Rhode Island shocked top seed VCU, 75-70, to advance to at least the Atlantic 10 semifinals for the third straight season. It was also the third straight year Rhode Island has knocked VCU out of the conference's signature event. Four Rams scored in double-figures, led by Jeff Dowtin who poured in 22 points...

You don't want to go to war with the Rams. That's VCU's slogan, but might as well apply to both teams heading into tomorrow's quarterfinal match up at Barclays Center. VCU, the top seed in this week's A-10 Tournament, is 25-6 overall and 16-2 in league play, winners of 12 straight. Their last defeat was to...

What a difference three weeks can make. After gifting a win to Fordham back on February 16th and following it up with a non-competitive showing at VCU, Rhode Island looked like a team on the brink.

On February 23, 2018 the University of Rhode Island men's basketball program was on the positive side of 81-56 blowout victory over the Dayton Flyers at home at the Ryan Center.

Each contains the transparent enclosure itself along with a lid that has a small LED light embedded that shines on the surface below. Other key ingredients of the kits are soil, a spray-bottle for water, rocks and a seed mixture. Setup...

Rhode Island (5-3) is off to the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii, brimming with confidence after Sunday's neutral court win over Big 12 foe West Virginia, 83-70. Despite the choppy nature of the affair, it was the Rams best win and most complete 40 minute effort, particularly when adjusted for competition level. Rhode Island...

Roughly half of the non-conference schedule remains ahead for the Rhode Island Rams (4-3), highlighted by a date with West Virginia this weekend and a trip to the Aloha State over winter break. David Cox's team is performing about as projected, as freshmen grapple with morphing from thinkers to instinctual doers on the court and...

Growing pains. Like an 8-year-old who wakes up in the middle of the night complaining to his mother that his legs are hurting. Or for this case, like what seems to be the new storyline out of Kingston this winter. The Rhode Island Rams are growing and the remainder of the non-conference slate leaves opportunities...
