Rhode Island takes the floor to a fight song that sounds more than a little like that of another team that wears a light shade of blue, North Carolina. Fordham's band plays the Mickey Mouse theme, with a bass guitarist prominently featured.
The Fordham student section just got here, all 12 or so of them, including Lucha Libre Mask Man from yesterday. A lot more maroon Rams fans than there were for the Richmoand game.
Rhode Island's student section is five people in the front row behind the light blue Rams' bench. Give them credit. But what looks like the URI dance team is banished to the upper level, right above the scoreboard at the Horseshoe End of the court. They've all got shiny white pom-poms and are dressed in white shirts, and are chanting and moving their arms in unison. The cheerleaders are courtside, so it's not that, but... oh, they're moving! They're being escorted down by a security guard. We'll see where they go.
UPDATE: The dance team has moved in with the student section behind the URI bench. There are also 10 or so more students than there were at tipoff.
