URI Edges Seton Hall
The Rams held a nine-point lead, 54-45, at the half and pushed their lead to as much as 11, before the Pirates rallied to take a 72-71 lead with 5:54 to go.
Rhode Island would take 73-72 lead on a layup by Andre Berry with 4:05 to play before the Pirates would retake the lead on a layup by Ismael Sanogo with 2:03 left in the game.
Both teams traded missed opportunities to extend or retake the lead over the next minute before a turnover by Seton Hall’s Angel Delgado gave the Rams the ball back with 21 seconds left on the clock.
After a URI timeout, Terrell drove the ball to the basket and pulled up for a jumper near the baseline just outside the paint and got it to go, giving URI a one point lead.
The Rams defense would come up with a steal on the defensive end to seal the win.

Dan Hurley is at his best with his back against the wall. Rhode Island beats Seton Hall by 1 without E.C. Matthews and Cyril Langevine. Bedlam in Brooklyn.
