Delroy James led five players in double figures, with 21 points, as Rhode Island led all the way in beating Holy Cross, 92-75, Sunday at the Ryan Center.
The URI point total is the most given up by Holy Cross in 12 years. The most the team gave up while Ralph Willard was the coach was 91, that in an overtime victory over Colgate in 2003.
Besides James, Lamonte Ulmer had 13 points, Keith Cothran 11 points and six assists, and Marquis Jones and Akeem Richmond 10 points apiece. Andrew Keister had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Crusaders, who are now 0-4, the first time in 25 years that team has not won any of its first four starts.
URI led 51-33 at the half. Holy Cross got as close as 10, at 57-47. But Will Martell and Jamal Wilson scored, then James had a 3-pointer to help URI regain control.
Rhode Island is 2-0 and meets Stony Brook, which is 3-0, Tuesday at the Ryan Center.
