URI pulled off one of the biggest regular season wins in school history tonight with its 91-89 win at Syracuse.
The Orange (6-3) may not be nationally ranked or even all that good right now but whenever a URI team comes to the Carrier Dome it is clearly an underdog. These Rams showed the heart and grit all good teams need over the course of a season. They trailed Syracuse by 11 points early in the second half and by three with 1:51 left but rallied for the victory.
URI is now 10-1 and headed into the exam break. It'll be very interesting to see how many votes the Rams receive in this week's national polls. I'm convinced. They'll be in my poll when I vote Sunday.
``It's incredible. We've beaten some good teams under tough conditions," said coach Jim Baron. ``I feel really happy for our players. I can;t be more elated for them. They willed it out right to the end."
