However, their away games have proven to be more challenging, with a 7-4 record.

On the other hand, Moses Brown has been an even more formidable force, boasting an overall record of 15-2, with an incredible .882 win percentage.

The assists and steals departments are also where the teams vary. Moses Brown has an impressive 19 assists per game and 10.8 steals per game, both critical to their fast-paced style.

Head-to-Head and Playoff Implications

Despite their strong records, Times Squared Academy and Moses Brown have yet to face off in a head-to-head matchup in the 2024-2025 season. As the season continues, all eyes will be on whether these two juggernauts will meet in the postseason, and how their respective styles will clash in such a high-stakes setting.

Conclusion

While Moses Brown has undeniably had the more dominant season overall, particularly in league play, Times Squared Academy has shown resilience and the ability to shine in key moments. Their performance against common opponents, combined with individual talents like Justin Urey and the team’s overall scoring depth, keeps them in contention as one of the top teams in Rhode Island.

As both teams continue their march through the season, it will be exciting to see if Times Squared Academy can close the gap and challenge Moses Brown in a future matchup—one that could ultimately determine who reigns supreme in Rhode Island basketball.
