NEC Roundup: Feb. 8
I’ve given in. Robert Morris is the best team in the NEC. I don’t care that they’re playing with eight players. They’re just that good right now. Bryant though is working hard to try and stay in shouting distance, just in case the Colonials slip up. The problem? The Bulldogs’ only two losses are to RMU. The rest of the league? What a mess.
