We're not even to Thanksgiving and the Blue Devils appear to be overrated. The Rhode Island Rams took No. 8 Duke to the wire, losing 82-79 in Cameron Indoor a few minutes ago. Duke has now won 62 consecutive non-conference games at home, dating back to when they fell to St. John's in 2000. Too much of a knee-jerk reaction here? I don't know.

Nevertheless, the Rams from Rhode Island are scorching hot into the month of December and have left their imprint on many an opponent. A quick breakdown of who they are, who they've beaten, ... Read More

              I'll make this quick: Both Providence and Rhode Island are Tournament-type teams this season and tonight the two will face each other in Kingston in a Battle Royal (well, I hope, anyway) type of game. This is exactly the type of matchup that gets Andy Katz's voice to jump an octave whenever anyone brings it up, so you know that it's really something. The Friars are currently 5-1 with wins ... Read More
