Hey Joey, what are your thoughts on Rhode Island? I think they are in if they win out to their conference tourney final but most of the major bubble watches are completely ignoring them. On the surface the resume looks weak but the closer you look at them the better they look. They beat Penn State on a neutral court and only lost by 4 to Oklahoma St. They played a very tough non-conference road schedule going to Duke, Providence, and Villanova and lost by 3 at Duke and 1 at Providence. The committee will also recognize that beating VCU and winning at Northeastern are both quality non-conference wins. They didn't get the luxury of top teams coming to their building like many of the other bubble teams got. I think they'll have a stronger resume than many of the teams they'll be competing with for the final spot.
