Yale is a fine team picked second in the Ivy, but Rhode Island is 7-0 and is ranked 13 spots higher by KenPom. Do I love this? No, but it's probably the best of a light schedule. Rams transfer senior point guard Sebastian Thomas is 11 shy of 1,000 career points and averaging 15.8 PPG this year. Rhode Island head coach Archie Miller is looking to join the legendary Frank Keaney as the only coaches in program history to open a season 8-0 or better. RI has won the past three in the series, including 76-72 last year.
