Here's what Paul said about St. Joseph's lack of depth, and URI's chances of exploiting it:

"Ahmad Nivins, who's one of the best players if not the best player in the A-10, is averaging a double double ... but he's also averaging 38 minutes a game. They have two other starters who are at 33 minute a game. They don't use many players at all, and Rhode Island obviously likes to press, wants to press. St. Joe's, I remember, last year didn't have a lot of depth either. They were willing to run with URI when they came to visit here at the Ryan Center, and did it successfully. They beat Rhode Island 90-83. But Pat Calathes, who killed Rhode Island for four years, and Rob Ferguson, another very good player, are gone for St. Joseph's. They're a different team; they definitely have not been playing as well as they have in the past. The one statistic jumps out at me, which sounds incredible for St. Joseph's -- they have yet two win two games in a row all season. ... They won their last game, and they'll be bidding for two in a row tomorrow."
