The Rhode Island Rams are not in a good place right now. That might be obvious if you see their record, but that doesn’t tell the entire story. And as if that’s not enough, things went from bad to worse right after Christmas.

Boston College gains confidence before the break
Boston College has come back from the Christmas break in a better place than they were before it. In fact, it’s better than where they were over a week before their last game, as their 83-73 win over Sacred Heart last Wednesday was their third straight.
Florida Atlantic isn’t far away as Sun Belt play approaches
There was a consistent theme sounded after Florida Atlantic’s 63-51 loss at Harvard on Thursday night. The message: this team is not there yet, and mental toughness is the big key to getting there.
Stony Brook hopes more practice time helps
Stony Brook probably welcomed the relative break in the action they are coming up on the end of. This stretch, with a lot of practice time, followed by three straight at home, gives this team a chance to gain some momentum.
Sacred Heart coach tries to send a message in visit to Boston College
With just one non-conference game left after Wednesday night’s game at Boston College, Dave Bike wanted to get a point across to his team and his best player.

Merry Christmas, and thanks for playing. Word came out today that Idaho State coach Joe O’Brien resigned from Idaho State this afternoon on the heels of a 2-8 record. O’Brien was head coach of the Bengals since 2006 and in his first three years, led the Bengals to the Big […]
Northeastern needs answers in the backcourt, and fast
Northeastern’s 71-62 loss to Princeton was their fourth straight game with 20 turnovers, all of them losses. It’s a sign of a larger problem, as the Huskies need answers in the backcourt soon.
Defense helps Princeton turn around after tough start
Princeton went 1-5 in the first six games, with three losses being by six points or less, and they had some question marks offensively. While the offense is always a subject of conversation, an improvement at the defensive end has helped changed the team’s success.
