trapani on a run out. and boston college with a four-point swing has cut it to four. >> mike: how many times have we said a team that likes to get out and run can be run on? in this little last stretch rhode island has been susceptible to that, not only with paris pushing the ball off the dribble but on the leak out by trapani. >> tim: remember, 3 from 3 from downtown by richmond. that one deflected by paris. ball still not on the rim so the shot clock continues to tick. it's down to seven. under five. gives it up to outerbridge. there's the putback yet again. lamonte ulmer. 13 for him. >> mike: it was a great two-man game. outerbridge should have converted. that was a great job by ulmer not giving up on the play and conceding the made layup. >> tim: sometimes the best offense for rhode island is a missed shot. and their guys just absolutely crashed the glass. trapani out of bounds. last touched by rhode island. >> mike: trapani has come alive here. he likes his "x" cut across the lane, feed inside. rhode

trapa trapani, floater, not there. the answer. >> mike: raji is so good on the glass, averaging eight per. 58% shooting. they never want to play for him. >> tim: well, that sweet soft shot of delroy james. he's got five. and the uri lead is three. >> mike: only a 22% shooter coming in from three. big difference between home and road. >> tim: it's stripped away by the bik

roche going in from the front and the tip and trapani gets it.s that happened in this game, where a guy has kept it alive for a teammate. that was three points and four rebounds, josh southern back in the lineup. you look at trapani, mike, say not very imposing at 6'8", 218, you would expect a lot of people to take advantage of that defensively. he creates more problems for opponents than they do for him. >> mike: if you're al skinner, you live with that. i have my guy, let's worry about how other teams are matching up to him. and he's bigger. you talk about his toughness. i think he's more than capable of handling any assignment on the defensive end. we are tied up at 23 apiece, the acc opener, right here on a krrcc sunday night hoops presented by pizza hut. grant back in the lineup. southern to rebound. what a way to begin conference play. southern now with four rebounds. if you're frank haith, you have to be scratching your head. the opponents shooting at four percentage and you're not doing a good job on the boards. pass inside and reverse an

i believe trapani got that one. >> mike: good weak side action.that play by getting the initial offensive rebound. this is an area they need to dominate rhode island in the second half to get back in this game. >> tim: we'll see if that helps trapani get going, mike. i think they need for him to score some in this second half. out of bounds. last touched by boston college. and at halftime our jenn hildreth had a chance to talk with jim baron. >> jenn: what mike said about rebounding, certainly that's going to be a key for rhode island. they know that's where boston college wants to bring it. that's what jim baron said, we have to do a better job of that. we have to be physical and aggressive. very clear he did not want his team to let their foot off the pedal at all. >> mike: i made the point about cothran and his scoring. a lot of times great scorers will let other guys work into the game and then look for their own offense a little more aggressively in the second half. that's what cothran has done in the first 2:30. >> tim: concern for cothran,

trapani tried to get a handle on it.er really had the ball in his hands. >> mike: the jump shot much more difficult to make. nice crossover twice by grant. tries to force the shot in the action but does draw the whistle. >> ron: i guess that's how to do it, mike, score points when the clock is stopped. >> mike: we talked about it, only the fifth free-throw attempt for the hurricanes. >> ron: third personal foul on southern as greg goes to the line. saturday, college basketball double-header. washington against number 16, georgetown. then ucla looks to get back on track as they battle mississippi state. action tips off at 2:00 eastern, 11:00 pacific. a dynamite club at mississippi state. >> mike: lorenzo, after a down couple of years got the huskies back in it, in the pac 10 the early start of the year. >> ron: collins has been sitting a long time. wonder if he will get back in. 2 of 5, four points in the ballgame. miami had a 9-1 run, cut the lead 55-47, have a chance to cut it even further. here comes grant. tries the n

. >> ron: jackson, looking for trapani. oh, my, christmas has come early.s nine and the lead is 14. >> mike: that shot was actually the third in his mind. he had two options to pass first, kind of threw it up on the rim. >> ron: that's the second time he's done it. hesitates, throws it up, it goes and bc leads by 14. >>> 15 minutes and 40 seconds left in the acc opener for boston college. we look at our lexus playbook at raji. >> he's lingering. and defense should never be able to come out from here and straight down in. that's what happened on this play, everybody falling asleep on the back line for miami and easy lay. and flares out, nice jump shot, he's off and running, we talked about two and and seven in the first half. he's found his own. >> ron: you love as a coach to have a guy like that on your squad. just inside the three-point line. >> mike: he's been miami's best player, played well defensively and gotten them into a rhythm offensively. >> ron: boston college have gone 10 of 18. most from the inside like that one with raji again. >> mike: bc get
