What to Know
After two games on the road, the Rhode Island Rams are heading back home. They will take on the Sacred Heart Pioneers at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Thomas M. Ryan Center. Rhode Island is out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.
This past Saturday, the Rams lost to the Providence Friars on the road by a decisive 66-52 margin.
Meanwhile, the contest between Sacred Heart and the Brown Bears on Sunday was not particularly close, with Sacred Heart falling 79-66.
The losses put Rhode Island at 6-3 and Sacred Heart at a reciprocal 3-6. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Rhode Island is 53rd worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 15.2 on average. The Pioneers have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the 50th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.6 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
