Rhode Island

What is the top D1 basketball program in each state.. and which program is the worst? While there's not much competition in Hawaii.. there are great debates to be had in loaded regions like California, North Carolina, and Texas. The State of '08 is a state by state ranking based mostly on recent success (the last five years) mixed in with subjective factors such as conference prestige, historical success, and overall program direction.

 

KINGSTON, R.I. -- Will Daniels is set to play with the Chicago Bulls in the 2008 Orlando Pro Summer League at the RDV Sportsplex from July 7-11.

"The Bulls are a well-known organization and I'm excited for this opportunity," Daniels said. "I'm looking forward to getting on the floor, competing, and playing the best basketball I can."

Games of the Night

 

A companion to our daily Three Stars of the Day, we present the top three Games of the Night.

 

Following yesterday's Mid-Major Top 50, I'm back with a complete 66-team ranking of the “High-Majors”. This includes the A10, CAA, CUSA, MVC, MWC, and WAC.  I’m not suggesting that the A10 might not be better than the Big Ten this year, or that a league like the Horizon isn’t better than the WAC (which is real bad right now), or anything like that.. I use these grouping year to year simply for ease and consistency.

Team of the Week: Rhode Island
Results: Providence (W: 77-60), @ Syracuse (W: 91-89)

Rhode Island Rams

 

Overall Rank: #55
