Projection: likely out

Rhode Island has flashed resume-building moments with neutral wins over Vermont and Temple and a true road victory at Yale, but their nonconference body of work was dented by neutral setbacks to Tulsa and Towson and damaging defeats to McNeese State, Loyola-Chicago and at Providence. Those mixed results leave the Rams light on signature league wins and make every road and neutral outing loom large. The remainder of the Atlantic Ten slate includes approachable opponents at home like La Salle and Fordham that can shore up the resume and a string of difficult road and home tests against the likes of Dayton, Davidson, VCU and Saint Louis that offer the clear opportunities needed to swing the conversation in their favor.
