Dayton held off a second-half rally by Rhode Island and beat the Rams, 92-83, at the UD Arena tonight.
For a game that had no lead changes and only one tie (at 6-6), it was a great show. Dayton played a sensational first half, making 20 of 27 shots as it built a 54-41 lead at the break.
Rhode Island kept plugging away and more than made it a game. It twice pulled within three, the second at 71-68 with 7:55 left. Jimmy Baron, with 26 polints, Will Daniels with 25 and Parfait Bitee with 15 all were excellent.
Dayton was led by 23 by Brian Roberts, its star. Roberts got plenty of help, including 14 points frm Marcus Johnson.
