Rhode Island Rams Basketball Tickets
If you are a fan of college basketball in the Ocean State, the Rhode Island Rams are the team you want to see. Players have been shooting hoops for the University of Rhode Island since its first season in 1903. Today, the school has an annual enrollment of almost 17,000, giving it the enrollment numbers to field some deep sports teams. The Rams are an NCAA Division I team playing in the Atlantic 10 conference. Rhode Island's basketball team can be found playing at the Ryan Center in Kingston, R.I. for home games. In recent years, the team has given strong conference performances, making the Atlantic 10 finals in 2018 and winning the tournament in 2017, which was for the second time in its history with the conference. Several Rams players have gone on to professional careers, perhaps most famously Lamar Odom, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in 1999.

The University of Rhode Island is in Kingston, R.I., in the southern part of the state. When the team is home, Rhode Island Rams basketball games are held at the Ryan Center on campus.

This season, the Rams will have the adventure of traveling for a tournament in Montego Bay, Jamaica.What conference do the Rhode Island Rams play in?
The Rhode Island Rams play in the Atlantic 10 conference. The conference is made up of 14 universities located primarily in the eastern United States. While it includes New England rival UMass Amherst, many of the conference schools are further south near Virginia. The Atlantic 10 is a competitive league, and games against conference teams will have high attendance.Do the Rams have any major rivals?
The Rhode Island Rams have two major rivals, one due to geography and one to a shared mascot. UMass Amherst is the closest opponent in the Atlantic 10. As such, it is easy for students to make the trip to either Kingston or Amherst. These games are always packed with excited fans. Another major rivalry comes when the Rhode Island Rams play against the Fordham University Rams in New York. You can bet there will be large crowds and high spirits for the annual "Battle of the Rams."What is the Rams’ 2019-20 schedule like?
The Rhode Island Rams' basketball schedule is packed with 31 games from October to March. About half of these games are at home in Kingston.

Also, to prepare for the conference games later in the season, the team plays against such schools as West Virginia University and Western Kentucky University.What sort of facility is the Ryan Center?
Opened in 2002, the Thomas M. Ryan Center is the home to both the men’s and women’s basketball programs at the University of Rhode Island.
