Rhode Island has beaten Valparaiso just once in four tries.

That lone win?

It came in the 1998 NCAA tournament to lift the Rams into the Elite Eight. They’d return to the tournament the following year, but haven’t been dancing since. A second win against the Crusaders would be a big step toward ending that drought.

Alec Peters and E.C. Matthews will get most of the pre-game hype, but both teams have supporting players that are equally dangerous. URI’s Hassan Martin (31 points, 14-20 FG) and Jarvis Garrett (23 points, 4 assists) were gigantic in the Rams’ win over Belmont last weekend.

Similarly, Valpo’s Shane Hammink (39 points past two games) and Lexus Williams (26 points, 7 assists past two games) were crucial in wins against BYU and Ball State over the past week.

One thing to note if this is a close game late: Valpo has been the nation’s second best free throw shooting team thus far (83.6 percent), while the Rams have been in the middle-of-the-pack (70.4 percent).
