Fortunes may be turning around for George Wash. after losing four in a row. After one quarter, neither squad has the contest in the bag, but George Wash. leads 37-35 over the Rams. George Wash. took a big hit to their ego last Tuesday, so a victory here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.
If George Wash. keeps playing like this, they’ll bump their record up to 15-7 in no time. On the other hand, Rhode Island will have to make due with a 10-13 record unless they turn things around (and fast).
Rhode Island Rams @ George Wash. Colonials
Current Records: Rhode Island 10-12, George Wash. 14-7
Rhode Island has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the George Wash. Colonials will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Charles E. Smith Center. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
It’s hard to win when you make nine fewer threes than your opponent, a fact Rhode Island found out the hard way on Saturday. They fell 85-71 to the Dukes.
The losing side was boosted by David Green, who scored 20 points along with five rebounds. He hasn’t dropped below 20 points for three straight games.
Meanwhile, George Wash.’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their fourth straight loss. Things couldn’t have gone much worse for them as they lost 83-61 to the Flyers. The result shouldn’t come as a shock considering that’s the fewest points George Wash. has scored all season.
The Rams have traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 10-12 record this season. As for the Colonials, they dropped their record down to 14-7 with that defeat, which was their third straight on the road.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Rhode Island have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like George Wash. struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 39.6 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Rhode Island is hoping to beat the odds on Tuesday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn’t covered the last four times they’ve played George Wash.

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.
