Two huge turnovers on back-to-back possessions by URI in the final 90 seconds, which were quickly turned into seven points by Massachusetts, were the difference as the Minutemen beat the Rams, 98-91.
The game was close and fast paced throughout with neither team able to get an advantage in the second half. The lead changed hands 12 times and there were 16 ties.
A URI turnover that turned into a basket by Ricky Harris gave UMass the lead at 87-86. Another Rhody turnover on the next possession turned into five points for UMass. Etienne Brower, who stole the ball from Kahiem Seawright, was intentionally fouled by Seawright. Brower made both fouls shots, then drained a 3-pointer as well.
Brower had 26 points, Gary Forbes and Chris Lowe 21 apiece for the Minutemen , 17-9, 6-6. Will Daniels had 23 for URI.
