Maybe that’s a lesson for everyone else.

The best I can do is try to offer some perspective on this season and the program as a whole. While the Rhode Island sky may be falling with a loss to crosstown rival Brown, the Friars have every chance to redeem themselves Wednesday night against the University of Rhode Island.
