A wild first half has finished with Rhode Island leading Massachusetts 41-39.
The folks watching on ESPN2 have seen a fast-paced show that has had both teams make big runs.
URI, down 30-20, went to some unusual combinations to help it come back and take a lead at the break. Delroy James, who joined the team and mid-season, and freshman guard Marquis Jones both have played a lot and played well.
The Rams had a unit of James, Jones, Joe Mbang, Parfait Bitee and Keith Cothran on the court when they made their comeback after the Minutemen had run off 12 straight points.
Chris Lowe has been outstanding for the Minutemen with nine points and five assists, although Jones has slowed him down a bit. Etienne Brower has 15 points.
Will Daniels has nine for URI. He sat for seven minutes with two fouls. Bitee has eight. URI has been hurt by 11 turnovers.
