"29. Rhode Island (NR): Keep an eye on the Rams, who have won six in a row. They are building a case for a tournament bid. The Rams knocked off Duquesne and won at Saint Bonaventure. Fatts Russell scored 23 points against Duquesne and 29 against the Bonnies. Obi Toppin of Dayton is the player of the year in the A-10, but Russell would be second if voting were held this week."

We get blown out at home while we are told that Paulsen had our players ready to play for this game

Line is at URI -5.5, seems like a pretty safe bet to put your 401k up against.

Then when you join the ranks of the undead geriatric mason fans you can at least use your winnings to sit courtside so you won’t have to tell those around you to sit down and be quiet. You can take naps with Merten on the media table.

"A LOOK AT THE RAMS (14-5, 6-1 A-10; NET No. 47, KenPom No. 56)
Rhode Island was picked to finish fourth in the 2019-20 A-10 preseason poll. URI received six votes in this week's AP Top-25 poll. The Rams feature a top-40 KenPom defense and are allowing just 0.906 points per possession in conference play. The Rams get 57.6 percent of their scoring from 2-point range (20th nationally). Junior Fatts Russell leads the A-10 with 19.9 points/game and dishes out a team-best 4.6 assists per game while ranking second nationally with 3.16 steals/contest. Senior Jeff Dowtin adds 13.6 points/game while sophomore Tyrese Martin is at 12.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Senior Cyril Langevine averages 10.0 points, ranks third in the A-10 with 10.4 rebounds/game and grabs 3.74 offensive rebounds/contest (17th nationally)."

Strange but true stat that helps explain Mason's A10 struggles: hasn't held any opponent in conference to under 35% from 3. Has allowed over 38% four times. Opponents shooting 56/144 (38.9%) through seven games. That's really bad.

Fatts Russell earned his second straight
@A10MBB
honor roll appearance. The junior guard averaged 26 points in back to back conference wins last week.




Trivia Question: Name the former Patriot who attended the same high school as Fatts Russell?

I woke up feeling positive today. If we were to beat a top 3 A10 team this year it would be Rhode Island..... For this to happen:

1. Get Cyril Langevine in foul trouble (they have 7/8 guys that they play because of transfers and injuries)
2. Fats Russell has an awful day shooting contested three's with his greener than green light
3. Jeff Dowtin doesn't just drive by our guards that play ole defense every defensive trip
4. Paulsen doesn't muck up rotations (hasn't happened in 5 years but today is a new day)
5. Mar scores 6 points or more since we know Paulsen is going to play him and Calixte together for the ultimate "worst lineup ever"

Odds of all this happening are very low but I feel hopeful this morning

Line is down to 4, time to go sell your body outside Hollywood Casino in Charlestown and put it all on URI to cover.

This morning it was at 5.5 and I was worried it would go up to 6 or 6.5 before I got a chance to book it. Seeing it at 4 was like Christmas morning. Bet it all!

seriously. Everyone is going to take URI to cover and win tonight. Easy money.

32% on the season (132nd in the nation).

Clearly, our losses aren't attributable solely to one statistic. If you know me, you know I'm about to tell you that our offense stinks.

.88 assist:turnover ratio (264th, and I believe only ahead of LaSalle in the A-10).

11.1 assists per game (313th, last in the A-10). Interestingly, Dayton is #1 in the country.

41.7% fg% (276th, barely ahead of LaSalle and Fordham). Again, Dayton #1 in country.

31.8% 3ptfg% (267th, ahead of Rhode Island and Duquesne).
