Rams falling apart

URI just played one of its poorest halves of the season.

Saint Joseph's has a 44-33 lead at the half and it has done it despite playing the last 11 minutes without its two best players. Pat Calathes and Ahmad Nivins both picked up two early fouls. They went to the bench when they did and did not return.

The Hawks are 15 for 23 from the field. Rob Ferguson leads the way with 12 points.

The half, though, said more about URI than the Hawks. The Rams did not play well at all. For the second game in a row they have hurt themselves with turnovers. They have eight at the half, which have turned into 11 Hawks' points.

The score was 24-24 before Saint Joseph's went on an 18-4 run. For much of that run, four URI starters, Will Daniels, Jimmy Baron, Kahiem Seawright and Jason Francis were on the bench.

Daniels leads URI with 11 in 15 minutes.
