Andre Berry and Jared Terrell combined for 45 points as the URI Rams men’s basketball team cruised past the Holy Cross Crusaders 88-66 on Sunday afternoon at the Ryan Center.
“I’m happy with the way we played offensively this afternoon. I thought we shared the ball well and that helped open some things up for us. Defensively, I thought we played a lot harder than we did out west against Nevada. When you beat a good team that runs a unique offense like Holy Cross does, you feel good about the win,” said URI head coach Dan Hurley after the game.

From there, the Rams would go on a 16-2 run sparked by a Nicola Akele three-point play and capped off by a jumper from Terrell to take a 78-59 lead with 4:53 to play.
Holy Cross would not get closer than 16 points the rest of the way.
