Rhode Island Continues to Win Close Games
Rhode Island has pulled out a lot of close games this season thanks to their play late in the game. At some point, that can add up to something, and one has to wonder if that’s the case with this team.

Notes From the 2010 BABC Prep Classic
A look at Sunday’s action at the 2010 BABC Prep Classic, which featured three games at Chelsea High School.
Another Bad Effort Has Skinner At a Loss
Al Skinner is normally soft-spoken and comes off as being quite mellow. But even by his standards, the Boston College mentor seemed very subdued and at a loss for words following his team’s latest poor showing on Saturday.

Even so, on this team, it’s a freshman who is at least an X-factor and maybe more.
