As many people know about the yin and yang theory, yin is the passive, negative force, and yang is the active, positive force. Here is an assorted list of the way Rhode Island MBB's yins and yangs line up:
Yin #1 - Three-point shooting
Yang #1 - Drives to the hoop
Yin #2 - Leaving shooters wide-open for threes, especially on the left baseline (near the large student crowd) in the Ryan Center
Yang #2 - Getting blocks on defense
Yin #3 - Overhelping and overcommitting to one player on defense
Yang #3 - Three-point defense
Yin #4 - Inconsistent rebounding as a team
Yang #4 - Hustling to loose basketballs
Yin #5 - Trying to get by the opposing team's full court press
Yang #5 - Half court defense
Yin #6 - Free throw shooting
Yang #6 - Making the extra pass on offense
Yin #7 - Closing out games
Yang #7 - Contending in all games
There is a yin for every yang in the yin and yang theory, as is the case with Rhode Island men's basketball.
