Rhode Island's Christion Thompson: Available Friday

Thompson (illness) is dressed out and available for Friday's NCAA Tournament game against Creighton, Bill Koch of the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

One day after missing Rhode Island's open practice due to an illness, Thompson is back in the fold for the Rams for their matchup against the Bluejays. Thompson has had a limited role since the start of February, averaging 1.5 points and 1.3 rebounds over 7.8 minutes. Given that Rhode Island will likely play with a tight rotation Friday, Thompson may not see much in the way of playing time.
