It's over: URI beats PC, 77-60. URI was (and is) the much better team. Jim Baron is a tremendous coach.

Not terribly good for UConn, as any non-conference loss by a Big East team hurts its fellow league members.

Lamonte Ulmer (Hamden) and Keith Cothran (New Haven), the Microwaves off URI's bench, combined for 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting.

O.K., promise, no more talk of Rhode Island collegiate basketball for a while now.
