THE RHODY RAMS ARE IN
UNCHARTED WATERS BUT
DO NOT APPEAR TO BE IN

BODY LANGUAGE THEIR
DEMEANOR AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY THEIR PLAY
ON THE COURT IS PROOF
THEY BELONG AND NOW

THERE IS A LOT OF
ADVANTAGES TO GETTING TO
THE 2ND WEEKEND OF THE
TOURNAMENT...YOU GET THE
CACHES, PRESITGE OF THE
SWEET SIXTEEN, THE BANNER,
THAT COMES WITH RECRUITS
AND BEING IN THE NATIONAL
CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER
WEEK...ALL OF THAT AT STAKE
FOR RAMS TOMORROW VS
OREGON...BUT THE PLAYERS
ARENT THINKING ABOUT ALL
THAT, THEY ARE THINKING
ABOUT THE BROTHERHOOD
THEY DONT WANT TO END.
HOW WILL THIS RHODY SEASON
BE REMEMBERED...AS THE
YEAR THEY ENDED THE
TOURNAMENT DROUGHT AND
WON A GAME IN THE BIG
DANCE...OR WILL IT HAVE EVEN
MORE SIGNIFICANCE IN THE
HISTORY BOOKS

IN SPORTS, IS MOMENTUM A
REAL THING OR JUST SOME
TIRED SPORTS
CLICHE...WHATEVER YOU THINK,
THE RAMS ARE BUYING INTO
THEIR RECENT SURGE
TRANSLATING INTO MORE
RESULTS ON SUNDAY
do you believe in momentum that
can transfer over to next game,
yest
confident and loose and soaking
in
moment but playing hard when we
need to
we are that team the way played
last
six weeks with backs against
wall
where we knew couldnt lose a
game
since fordham game couldt lose
if
wanted to get to this pion tand
now
got to this point
OREGON, MEANWHILE ISNT NTO
THE CINDERALLA STORY AND IT
WILL BE THEIR JOB TO MAKE
SURE RHODY'S MOMENTUM
ENDS IN SACRAMENTO
do you belive in momentum theyve
won 9 in a row
yes i belie in momentum we are
momentum stoppers stopped ucla
when on run
it does for them they come in
wit ha
lot of confidence winning 9
straight
knowing that will come in
cofidence
cant be surprised what shots
they
take come be agressor and hit
them
first
LIVE TAG
DAN HURLEY SAYING
ULTIMATLEY IT COMES DOWN
TO MATHCUPS AND CAN THE
RHODY PLAYERS OUTPLAYE
THE OREGON GUYS FOR 40
MINUTES AND PUNCH THAT
TICKET TO THE SWEET 16. YK
