Well, I had no idea that's what NC would do but after watching them play against Rhode Island the previous game, I told two NC alumni that I worked with that NC had no chance in hell of beating the Flyers. If I recall, they had no business beating the Rams. Seriously, those two teams looked like NIT teams playing while the Flyers were playing like a well oiled machine at the time. And the main reason was that CJ was playing like NCAA tournament star.

Also, didn't the A10 teams incorporate a lot of zone defense against us back then? I think the power schools always figured that the "lesser" conferences game plan against them, not the other way around.

	Rhode Island RHODE ISLAND The University of Rhode Island was chartered as the state's agricultural school in 1888. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892. Located in southern Rhode Island, URI is a quintessential New England campus - rural in feeling yet close to the city of Providence, the state's capital. Linked to the city, the beaches, and nearly every corner of the state by both rail and public transit, the campus is easily accessible from Boston and New York URI currently offers 100 majors in seven degree-granting colleges. There are more than 12,000 students on the Kingston campus, about 3,000 in Providence, and a complement of about 700 faculty. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams.
