Maine is one of our opponents. Rhode Island roots are deep!

The schedule next year is turning out to be solid. Not crazy about Maine but we have some other good games.

Think Maine was 300+ RPI this year. The two home games we have from the Florida event could be bad too. Hope that's the last 300+ opponent we line up.
Wonder if we will play BC? The contract expired. The game this past season was actually part of the Wooden Classic.

Regarding BC? Wouldn't be surprised if they backed out - they are in desperate straights and I am guessing the quixotic AD Brad Bates has no clue about NE basketball traditions. He may want to diss us and sign, say, BU or Northeastern or if he is brave, maybe even Holy Cross...
Nice to see Maine and Bob Walsh coming in but let's keep the cupcakes to a minimum even as we rebuild post-Dunn ( and maybe even post-Bentil)

Nice to see Maine and Bob Walsh coming in but let's keep the cupcakes to a minimum even as we rebuild post-Dunn ( and maybe even post-Bentil) Don't know about anyone else but i would prefer not to play Fredo. I kind of think just the opposite I think they try to make it in to a rivalry game where as our players think nothing of the sort just another game to us. They have no rivals NC and Duke and other teams like Clemson I am sure do not think of BC as their rival. I think their coaches try to get their players to buy into a rivalry game situation. In my opinion the only reason we lost there two years ago was because of this. They were all fired up for that game and to us it was just another game like Maine or New Hampshire.

We've improved a ton. No doubt about it. With the exception of URI, we are nobody's rival.
That said, this game is killing our SOS and I'd prefer we find a middle of the pack ACC team who is capable of winning a few conference games for RPI purposes.
