5 Takeaways From URI's 68-50 Win Over UMass
A-10 Standings
Going into the final game of the season, the A-10 standings are as follows.
Andre Berry
After a 15 point performance in URI's last game against Dayton, Berry came back and posted 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting from the field in 13 minutes of action.
Berry has given the Rams a much needed lift off the bench and at just the right time as tournament time is around the corner.
Kuran Iverson
Kuran Iverson had his highest point total since returning to the URI line up.
Iverson finished with 13 points on 5 of 13 shooting from the field and played 35 mintues.
URI will need him to score with tournament time coming up.
Jared Terrell
Jared Terrell once again led the Rams with 15 points on 3 of 12 shooting from the field and 7 of 7 from the charity stripe.
Terrell has reached double figures in 12 straight games for the Rams.
12 Points
URI held UMass to just 12 points in the first half.
The 12 points allowed marks the lowest single-half scoring total by a URI opponent since holding Brown to 14 first half points on Jan. 4, 2013.
By all accounts, the total is believed to be the lowest opponent single-half scoring total in the shot clock era.
UMass shot 19 % from the field in the first half and 28 % for the game.
