It was a game the University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team was supposed to win.
The Rams had the home court, Duquesne was just 2-5 in the Atlantic 10 coming into Kingston, and URI even grabbed the early lead.
But, the Dukes guard Dae Dae Grant matched his career high with seven 3-point baskets. He also was 6-for-6 from the line.
