What to Know
Rhode Island has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the La Salle Explorers will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 12:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Tom Gola Arena. Rhode Island is expected to lose this one by 3.5 points, so we’ll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.
The matchup between Rhode Island and the Spiders on Wednesday hardly resembled the 64-57 effort from their previous meeting. The Rams fell 85-77 to the Spiders. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Rhode Island in their matchups with the Spiders: they’ve now lost six in a row.
David Fuchs put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 23 points and 12 rebounds. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points he has scored all season.
Meanwhile, the Explorers were able to grind out a solid win over the Bonnies on Wednesday, taking the game 72-59. The victory made it back-to-back wins for La Salle.
Among those leading the charge was Daeshon Shepherd, who scored 23 points along with seven rebounds and two blocks. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he’s played. The team also got some help courtesy of Jhamir Brickus, who scored 15 points along with five assists.
The Rams have been struggling recently as they’ve lost eight of their last ten matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 11-15 record this season. As for the Explorers, their win bumped their record up to 13-14.
Rhode Island came out on top in a nail-biter against the Explorers in their previous matchup back in January, sneaking past 71-69. The rematch might be a little tougher for Rhode Island since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

A car carrying a family of three went into the Seekonk River in Rhode Island Sunday evening, authorities said.
The vehicle entered the river near the Taft Street boat ramp shortly before 7:30 p.m., Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said in a statement.
A bystander riding a jet ski heard the car dive into the water and attempted to help, while another witness called 911, according to Goncalves.
First responders arrived within three minutes of the emergency call, Goncalves noted.
The vehicle’s three occupants are believed to still be inside, The Boston Globe reported.
Recovery efforts resumed Monday, with Pawtucket police and fire personnel working alongside Rhode Island State Police and other state agencies to remove the vehicle from the river, Goncalves said.
“Conditions are extremely challenging for dive teams due to the strong current and poor underwater visibility,” she added.
A video released by the Globe shows the car being recovered from the water Monday afternoon.
Authorities have not released the identities or conditions of the occupants.
“We ask that you please keep the family and their loved ones in your prayers as our first responders continue recovery efforts,” Goncalves said.
