In-state slugfest

Even in Arkansas there are five D1 schools in basketball, so we have options regarding who we want to have a rivalry with. But that is not always the case. If you want a D1 rival in Montana, there are only two choices. Likewise North Dakota. Likewise South Dakota. And so on.

This past week Providence whipped Rhode Island 59-50, and that is on the east coast, basketball country. The only other D1 option in the state is Brown. So they wait for conference play, but before they get to conference, there is the annual knock-down, drag-out within Little Rhody. It does not get a huge amount of play in the basketball world, but it is a big deal in Rhode Island.
