Rhode Island's stifling defense held Santa Clara scoreless for close to 10 minutes to start the second half as the Rams' cruised to a 66-44 victory on Saturday in the second game of the Orlando Classic.
  
As good as the Rams' D was, Rhody also put forth a great shooting effort on the offensive side of the floor.  URI connected on 53.2% (25-47) for the game, including close to 60% in the first half.
After holding a 35-27 lead at the break, Rhode Island broke it open with 14 unanswered points.  All 13 players saw action on the afternoon and 10 scored.

Inside the Box Score and Beyond

  • E.C. Matthews again led all scorers with 19 points.  His line was efficient - 7-for-9 from the floor, including 5-of-7 from beyond the arc.  He also grabbed three boards and tallied an assist and a steal in 29 minutes.  
  • Jared Terrell added 13 points, knocking down 2-of-5 attempts from 3-point land to go along with two rebounds, two assists and three steals.
  • Biggie Minnis had his best game of the season, tallying seven points, a game-high five assists (two turnovers) and two rebounds in 24 minutes.
  • Overall, eight different Rams tallied an assist, totaling 14 for the game.
  • Frontcourt mates Hassan Martin (3-4), Earl Watson (2-3), and Gilvydas Biruta (4-4) combined to shoot 9-of-11 from the floor while grabbing 10 rebounds.  Biruta finished with eight points, Martin six, and Watson five.
  • Rhody forced 13 Santa Clara turnovers and scored on all but one of them.  The Rams had 24 points off turnovers on the afternoon.
  • The Rams doubled the Broncos up in the paint, 32-16, and used 13 offensive rebounds to score 14 second chance buckets.
  • Santa Clara shot just 4-of-20 from the floor in the second frame (20.0%).

Stat of the Day
