Paul Kenyon took some time this morning to talk about the Rams' appearance this weekend in the Islander Invitational in Corpus Christi, Texas. The Rams take on Eastern Michigan tonight at 6, then play either Texas A&M-Corpus Christi or Georgia Southern on Saturday. Click the play button below to see and hear the show.

Here are a couple of excerpts from Paul's comments:

On defending the Top 25 spot: "When the players step on the court today, there's a different sense, that, 'Hey, we've got something to protect here, something that really is special.' ... It puts some pressure on, but I think at the same time it may even add to the intensity and to the focus of the team, so I don't think it's necessarily bad at all.

On tonight's opponent: "Eastern Michigan, the team they're facing tonight, it's a very average team. They're 4-5, they don't seem to do anything special. They obviously want to keep the game under control ... Frankly it's the kind of team that -- as Hofstra was, as other teams have been early in the year -- that URI just imposes its will on and beats them by making them play the game the way URI wants it."

I think the biggest single improvement in URI's season this year is the play of Parfait Bitee. He has improved immensely, from hitting big shots, consistently making the 10 footer as well as a high percentage of threes, as well as playing stingy defense. Additionally he is feeding the ball to the top scorers when they are ready to shoot and where and when they like the ball before their shot attempt. Though everyone has improved to some degree, I feel this is the biggest key for URI.
