Barrington is limited to seven second half points, as La Salle controls from end to end in a 62-29 win for the state title.
The La Salle Rams steamrolled Barrington, 62-29, for the girls’ basketball state title Sunday afternoon at the Ryan Center on the University of Rhode Island Kingston’s campus. La Salle led by 10 points throughout most of the first half, increasing the margin to 35-22 at halftime. A stifling defense and Barrington’s frustration with foul calls against them led to just seven points for the Eagles in the second half. While the Rams did seem to get the benefit of more calls, La Salle also played a more skilled and aggressive game. The Rams finished when given opportunities down low, and their press harassed the Eagles into turnovers throughout both halves. Also, unfortunately for the Eagles, the best player from Barrington on Sunday was …

Tip-off is at 4 pm for Barrington High girl's Division I state championship game against La Salle Academy; we're hosting live chat for game.
Familiar foes in the Division I girls’ basketball suggest that a heck of a fight between No. 1 La Salle and No. 3 Barrington might be in store for the state title. Tip-off is at 4 p.m. at the Ryan Center, on the University of Rhode Island’s Kingston campus. We will be hosting a live chat for the game.

The Rams’ first half efficiency gets wore down by a more talented UMass squad, as URI loses 75-66 in its season finale.
KINGSTON – For seemingly the 100th time this year, the University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team saw a close game slip away in the second half, as the Rams couldn’t keep pace with a more talented opponent. For Senior Day on Saturday afternoon, the cast of characters changed, as the University of Massachusetts Minutemen played the role of past squads like La Salle, St. Bonaventure and VCU. However, the ending was the same, as the Rams lost 75-66. As usual, the Rams were within striking distance at the half, trailing by just a single point with about four seconds left. In a play that epitomized URI’s season, UMass point guard Chaz Williams got the ball in the backcourt, shook off light contact from 60 feet away, and then launched a …

The Rams look to end the season on a positive note with a win against the University of Massachusetts.
The University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team looks to recover from a brutal loss to St. Joseph’s with a season-ending win against the University of Massachusetts today. Tip-off at the Ryan Center is at 2 p.m., and as usual, we will be providing a live chat for the game. The Rams (8-20, 3-12 Atlantic 10) last played on Wednesday, when they were crushed 81-44 at St. Joseph’s (17-11, 8-7 Atlantic 10). The lone bright spot was that the game was only 40 minutes long. URI looks to bounce back in their season and home finale, against UMass (18-10, 8-7 Atlantic 10). The Rams have already been eliminated from postseason play, as their record doesn’t qualify them for Atlantic 10, NIT or NCAA tournament play. There are two special things …
