Jared Terrell

With E.C. Matthews playing a bit banged up, Jared Terrell once again played another nice game for URI, leading the starters (Matthews came off the bench) in scoring with 16 points. 

Terrell's 16 points came on 6-of-12 shooting from the field, including 2-of-5 from three-point land and 2-of-2 from the free throw line. 

Terrell has now reached double figures in three straight games and six of the last eight for the Rams. 

Jarvis Garrett

Jarvis Garrett had to take on a bigger role with Matthews coming off the bench banged up and he did just that. 

Garrett netted 13 points on 2-of-5 shooting from the field but 8-of-8 from the free throw line in 29 minutes of play. 

Garrett has now reached double figures in two straight games and three of the last four for URI. 

Garrett also grabbed two rebounds and dished out three assists. 

E.C. Matthews

Prior to the game, URI announced that E.C. Matthews had reaggravated the foot injury that sidelined him for a game earlier in the season. URI said that Matthews would be dressed but his playing time was uncertain. 

As it turns out, Matthews played 24 minutes off the bench and netted a team leading 18 points on 5-of-13 shooting from the field and and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. 

Matthews also grabbed three rebounds and had two steals in the game. 

Turnovers/ points off

T.J. Buchanan led the Rams with four turnovers in the game however the Rams as a team only had 13. 

Meanwhile, URI forced George Mason into 16 turnvoers and cashed in for 19 points off of those turnovers. 

URI won the points off turnover battle 19-10. 

Bracketology

In the latest version (February 19) of ESPN's Bracketology, Joe Lunardi has the URI Rams as the next four out. While this latest projection doesn't include the George Mason game, George Mason is a bad team this year so beating them, like URI did won't help them much anyway, it would only hurt them. 

The UMass Minutemen are also in next four out category. 

Lunardi has the A-10 only getting two bids and right now and VCU and Dayton are the two teams in the tournament. 

The new national rankings and RPI rankings come out on Monday, February 23, so it will be interesting to see where the Rams stand and if there RPI has gone up at all after beating UMass. 

URI next host's Davidson  on Wednesday before going on a two game road trip to face La Salle and Dayton. 

As of now, that Dayton game could be huge.
