Depending on what happens in the tournament Rhode Island will either face Maryland or Illinois State. Maryland made it past the first round of the March Madness tournament last year and will be a good test for the Rams who are predicted by many to make the tournament this year. Illinois State on the other hand is currently 1-1 on the season and has two home games and a game against Maryland to be played before they could potentially face the Rams
