URI hoop team ranked 25th in AP poll
SOUTH KINGSTOWN -- The Rhode Island men's basketball team has cracked The
Associated Press poll for the first time in nearly a decade.
The Rams are ranked Number 25 in the poll released today. Rhode Island was
last ranked during the first week of the 1998-99 season.
The Rams have opened the year at 11-1, their best start since the 1991-92
season. They have racked up wins against Providence, Syracuse, South Florida
and Alabama-Birmingham.
The team's lone loss was against Boston College.
Coach Jim Baron says the ranking is a big deal for the school considering
how far the program has come in the last few years, when they typically
finished near the bottom of the Atlantic 10 Conference.
