URI men's basketball climbs to No. 23 in AP poll

SOUTH KINGSTOWN -- The Rhode Island men's basketball team has scored its second-straight Top 25 ranking in the weekly Associated Press poll.

The Rams moved up two spots, from 25th to 23rd in the poll released today.

The increase follows back-to-back wins over the weekend over Eastern Michigan and Georgia Southern to improve the Rams' record to 13-1.

Rhode Island cracked the rankings last week for the first time since November 1998, and is off to its best start since the 1946-47 season.

The Rams play their last non-conference game of the season against Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday.
