URI just played one of its best halves of the season, certainly one of its top 20-minute efforts since the start of the A-10 season.
The Rams lead Temple, 44-32.
URI has done it with a nice blend of running and 3-point shooting. Keith Cothran, who received his first start of the season, responded a 10 first-half points. A 23 percent 3-point shooter, Cothran was 2-for-2 behind the arc.
The Rams were 7-for-15 on treys. Temple, on the other hand, is 4-for-16. The Owls have taken as many shots from 3-point land as inside the arc, which is a surprise since they started the game hurting URI inside, including three hoops by 7-foot center Sergio Olmos.
URI has used all kinds of combinations. Delroy James gave the team a lift off the bench with four points, including a pretty move that set himself up for a 15-footer. Freshman Will Martell played two minutes, too, and did his job.
The bad news for URI is that it was up 16 with 10 seconds to go. Temple scored five five seconds left, stole the inbounds pass and Chris Clark scored at the buzzer to make it 44-32.
