PROVIDENCE, RI - Governor Gina M. Raimondo released the following statement today wishing luck to the URI Rams and the PC Friars in the NCAA March Madness tournament.
"I want to congratulate the University of Rhode Island Rams and Providence College Friars and wish both teams luck in the games ahead. The outstanding leadership of Coaches Dan Hurley and Ed Cooley, along with the hard work and dedication shown night after night by their respective groups of student athletes, are prime examples of what is possible when you live, work and go to school in Rhode Island. Whether you bleed Keaney Blue or are a die-hard Friars fan, watching two of our own college basketball teams make it to the Big Dance after a heart-stopping season is a great source of pride for our little state."
