About The Event

Nebraska welcomes Rhode Island into town. The game between the Huskers and Rams marks the first of three home games sandwiched around final exams, as NU hits the homestretch of their non-conference schedule.

SCOUTING RHODE ISLAND
Rhode Island makes its first road trip of the season, as the Rams travel to Lincoln this afternoon. Under fourth-year Head Coach Danny Hurley, the Rams are 6-3 on the season following a 67-57 victory over Houston Tuesday evening. In that game, URI held Houston to 30 percent shooting, including 1-of-11 from 3-point range. Senior Hassan Marin had 14 points to lead five Rams in double figures. URI has been tested early as two of its three losses have come to nationally ranked Maryland and Providence. Rhode Island, which was picked second in the Atlantic-10, lost its top returnee, as E.C. Matthews suffered a knee injury in the opener. Matthews averaged 16.9 ppg as a sophomore including a 26-point, 10-rebound effort in last year’s win over Nebraska. The Rams’ strength is its balance, as all five Ram starters average in double figures. Martin is one of the top players in the A-10, as he averages 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.

Series History: The two teams have split its two previous meetings. Nebraska won 83-63 at the Devaney Center in 2011-12, while the Rams evened the ledger with a 66-62 overtime win in Kingston last season. In that game, Jared Terrell hit a pair of 3-pointers on the first two overtime possessions as the Rams outscored NU 13-9 in the extra session. Shavon Shields led NU with 25 points and nine rebounds, while Terran Petteway had 15 points in a losing effort. The Huskers are 9-11 all-time against the current members of the Atlantic-10 Conference.
