Projection: likely out
Rhode Island’s profile is defined by a quality road win at Yale and solid neutral-site victories such as the Temple game, but those highlights are undercut by ugly neutral losses to Tulsa and Towson that create doubt about consistency; the team has not yet produced a signature league scalp and its results away from home have been mixed. The schedule still offers the chance to build momentum against manageable home opponents like Canisius, La Salle, Fordham and St. Joseph’s, while true resume-changing opportunities come on the road at Providence, Davidson, Dayton, George Mason and George Washington; taking care of the winnable matchups and stealing a road test against a respectable conference foe would materially improve the case, whereas further bad neutral or away outcomes will reinforce the current concerns. Until Rhode Island pairs its best wins with meaningful success in hostile venues, the résumé remains fragile.
