Rhode Island women’s basketball conference schedule unveiled. Here’s a look
There will be a lone scheduled rematch of last year’s Atlantic 10 women’s basketball title game, and the University of Rhode Island will play it on the road.
The Rams will visit Richmond at a date and time to be determined. That’s courtesy of conference schedule pairings that were released Thursday afternoon.
The Spiders and VCU should offer a pair of rugged road tests after finishing a combined 31-5 in league play last season. URI also visits Davidson, Fordham and St. Bonaventure for single contests. Jim Crowley enters his second year of this stint with the Bonnies – he returned to Olean for 2022-23 after seven seasons at Providence.
Saint Joseph’s sets up as a headlining single home game for the Rams. The Hawks closed 15-3 in league play last year and have played in two straight postseasons. Dayton, La Salle, George Washington and Loyola Chicago will also visit Kingston.

URI’s home-and-home opponents include a pair of teams who contended for a conference title last season. George Mason closed 14-4 and Duquesne was one game behind at 13-5. Saint Louis and regional rival Massachusetts both finished in the bottom half of the standings – the Minutewomen struggled to a 2-16 mark after Tory Verdi qualified for three straight postseasons and left for Pittsburgh.
The Rams never quite hit full stride prior to March last season, finishing 21-14 overall and 10-8 in league play. A home win over No. 25 Princeton was followed by road losses to Providence and St. John’s, two defeats that damaged URI’s postseason chances. The Rams took out Dayton, Saint Joseph’s and Saint Louis in the conference tournament before suffering a 65-51 defeat to Richmond in the title round.
URI and the rest of the league will return to the Henrico Sports & Events Center from March 5-9 for the second straight edition of the league championship. The facility secured hosting rights after two previous years at Chase Fieldhouse in Delaware.

‘Just knock it off’: Neronha, Whitehouse urge RI to ignore Brown shooting conspiracy theories | ABC6
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Law enforcement are urging Providence and Rhode Island residents to only trust information from official sources in the Brown University shooting.
This follows the doxxing of a student related to online speculation about the shooting suspect’s identity.
According to Brown University, a student’s personal information was shared online, and now Attorney General Peter Neronha is attempting to stem the flow of internet rumors.
Rumors gained more traction after information about the doxxed student was seemingly removed from Brown’s website.
Neronha said that any online rumors about political, religious or racial motivations behind the shooting are unfounded.
Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse didn’t mince words when he weighed in on the online discourse in the case.
“So whether it’s to protect the law enforcement investigation from a lot of unnecessary and ill-informed noise cluttering up the ability of the many agencies working on this to do their jobs, or whether it’s out simple courtesy and sympathy to the families who are going through this awful moment, just please shut up with the speculation,” said Whitehouse.
“All the conspiracy theories, all the creepy weird plot ideas, please, just knock it off.”
School officials said it is not unusual to take steps to protect a person’s safety in the event of online targeting.
