Really hyped for this one. Hoping Fatts stays hot and carries the offense while Cyril Langevine cleans up down low. Not an easy LSU team...

As always, one of the keys will be Jermaine Harris staying out of foul trouble. He can't pick up his customary two in the opening five minutes if the Rams are to return home 5-1.

Just tuned in. I see Rhode Island is up 7 early!

This was a tough loss unfortunately, but some positive takeaways from Jamaica. I also think that North Texas win was a lot better than people realize; they almost took down Utah St. last night. I'd love to see this team beat Providence and Western Kentucky at home, and that'll help boost the NCAA Tourney resume.
