Keith Cothran scored a career-high 18 points, leading four Rams in double figures as Rhode Island downed Monmouth, 85-62, in the opening game of the 2008 Hoop Group Philly Classic. Cothran was 7-of-10 from the floor, knocking down 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. He also added two rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes. URI got off to a quick start, scoring the game’s first eight points. The Hawks trimmed the lead to three points (8-5), but the third of three Jimmy Baron 3-pointers extended the lead to 21-10, with 13:53. He ended the game with 15 points in 20 minutes of action. Rhody would continue its hot hand offensively, closing the half on a quick 6-0 push. The run was capped by a breakaway Cothran dunk, and Rhody took a 48-30 lead at the break - shooting a season-best 64.0% (16-25). In the second half, the Rams turned it up on both ends of the floor. URI went on a 15-1 run over the first 6:45 of the period, taking a 63-31 lead with 13:15 to play. A Stevie Mejia trey with just under 10 minutes to play gave Rhody its largest-lead of the game - 37 points - at 73-36. Kahiem Seawright ended with 13 points and seven rebounds, while Delroy James added 10 points, four boards and three assists. Marquis Jones did an outstanding job running the point, dishing out six assists to just one turnover in 23 minutes.

Monmouth 62 • 0-3 ##
Junior guard Keith Cothran scored a game-high 23 points to push Rhode Island to a 92-86 victory over VCU at the Ryan Center. Cothran was one of five URI players to reach double-figures in scoring. The URI guard, who set a then career-high 18 points against Monmouth on Thursday, surpassed his previous career-high mark against VCU. Seniors Jimmy Baron and Kahiem Seawright, junior Delroy James and sophomore Marquis Jones also scored in double-figures, registering 17, 17, 14 and 10 points, respectively. Baron finished 4-of-11 from the field, including 2-of-4 from the beyond the arc. The URI senior was also 7-of-10 from the line. URI fell behind 4-0 in the early going, but responded with 12-2 run to take a 12-6 advantage with 15:36 to go in the opening half. From that point on, no team would lead by more than six points for the remainder of the half. The first half featured 10 ties and 10 lead changes. Both teams were tied at 43 apiece heading at the half. Cothran led the way with 14 first half points going 7-of-11 from the field. The URI junior also led the way with five rebounds. In the second half, URI went on a 15-5 run to take a 58-50 lead with just under 12 and a half to go in the game. The Rams would then extend their lead to 10 points at 61-51, but VCU fought back with an 18-5 run over the
