The Rams (5-2) struggled in the first half that ended in a 33-33 tie. Rhody had issues scoring and keeping the Bulldogs in check. But in the second half, URI put together a 15-5 run and then wore down the visitors.
Biggie Minnis and Xavier Munford led the Rams with 14 points each. Gilvydas Biruta added 13 for the Rams who will host McNeese State on Tuesday. Jaron Lane and Andrew Rowsey each put up 17 points for the Bulldogs (1-5), who’ve already lost to Kentucky and Duke.
