Atlantic 10 Awards and Trophies that the 2017-2018 Rhode Island MBB Team Could Win
I have listed all of my projected candidates from the 2017-2018 Rhode Island Rams men's basketball team for the Atlantic 10's individual awards, as well as the team's obvious candidacy for the Atlantic 10's two major conference trophies.
Individual:
Atlantic 10 Player of the Year - E.C. Matthews, Jared Terrell, Jarvis Garrett, Jeff Dowtin (dark horse)
Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year - Dan Hurley
Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year - Cyril Langevine, Jared Terrell, Stanford Robinson
Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year - Daron Russell, Michael Tertsea
Atlantic 10 Most Improved Player - Cyril Langevine, Jarvis Garrett, Michael Layssard Jr, E.C. Matthews (dark horse)
Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year - Jarvis Garrett, Stanford Robinson, Jeff Dowtin, Ryan Preston (dark horse)
Atlantic 10 All-Conference - E.C. Matthews, Jared Terrell, Jarvis Garrett, Jeff Dowtin, Stanford Robinson, Cyril Langevine
Atlantic 10 All-Defensive - Cyril Langevine, Jared Terrell, Stanford Robinson, Jeff Dowtin (dark horse)
Atlantic 10 All-Rookie - Daron Russell, Michael Tertsea
Atlantic 10 All-Academic - Christion Thompson, Nicola Akele
Team:
Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championship - Rhode Island

Hopefully, in the 2017-2018 season, the Rams from Kingston, RI are hoisting up several plaques and trophies. It would not hurt if one of those trophies was the big, silver trophy that URI captured at the end of the 2016-2017 season in PPG Paints Arena.
