Join us to chat at 7 p.m., as the University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team takes on Loyola of Maryland, with Rams’ head coach Danny Hurley still looking for his first win.

The Rams (0-4) have played major conference programs Seton Hall and Ohio State tough in their past two games, but it hasn’t translated into wins. Although Loyola (4-1) isn’t a program with a well-known basketball tradition, the Greyhounds have a good record this year against some mid-major and small conference opponents.

URI will presumably have the services of senior forward Nikola Malesevic again. Malesevic was suspended for the Seton Hall game for an unspecific violation of team rules.
