The University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team dropped its fifth game in a row in a loss to the University of New Hampshire.

The Rams fell Thursday night, 81-71.

URI is now 5-7 and UNH has improved to 8-4 on the season.

Zek Montgomery led the Rams with 18 points, and Jeremy Foumena had 10 rebounds, but there were few positives to come out of this loss.

URI is not supposed to lose to the likes of Brown University and UNH in a season.

The Rams shot just 38% from the field, only 23% from behind the 3-point line (5-22)and 67% from the line.

UNH shot 54% from behind the 3-point line (13-24). The three-point shooting differential decided the game.

URI never led in the second half. It makes the Rams' home record 5-2 at the Ryan Center.

UNH was led by Claren Daniels, who scored 27 points and had 10 rebounds.

URI has just one more non-conference game — they host Northeastern on Saturday, December 30 at the Ryan Center.
