Rick Barnes to close his press conference this evening:
“Before we leave, again, I’d like to ask you all to remember Wes Rucker and his family. I would encourage you all to encourage people to go to the GoFundMe account. We know that Wes wasn't able to get life insurance due to a stroke he had years ago, and leaving behind a beautiful wife, a son and a daughter on the way. Wes was a special person. We're all colleagues in this, and I would just encourage you to get people to go help the family right now. They need it, and certainly tonight, before you close your eyes, say a prayer for him and his family. God bless.”
Our head strength and conditioning coach Scott Leech (@ScottLeech72) has been nominated for the NSCA Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year Award 💪
Congratulations, Coach‼️

COACHES SPOTLIGHT: For most of its history, 20 losses were the norm for Rhode Island. Under Tammi Reiss, 20 wins have become the standard.
Before Reiss took over, the Rams recorded 20-loss seasons in 22 of the previous 38 years. Since her arrival, Rhode Island has produced four 20-win seasons in seven years.
The latest came yesterday with a 69–61 win over Saint Joseph’s. Reiss previously set the program’s single-season wins record in 2022–23 with 26 victories, and with the Rams sitting at (20–2) and seven regular-season games remaining, that mark is back within reach. 🪄
URI Athletic Hall of Famer Mark S. Cruise and his wife, Sue, have gifted $2 million to their alma mater to establish a new athletic endowment and rename the football practice field.
It marks the largest single monetary gift in @RhodyFootball history.
