WHAT IT MEANS

Rhode Island fell to 1-7 in true road games, dropping its first A-10 road game of the season, 69-61, at George Washington.  The Rams fall to 3-14 overall and 0-2 in conference play.

INSIDE THE BOXSCORE AND BEYOND

* Billy Baron and Andre Malone were the lone Rams in double figures.  Baron led the way with 18 points, while Malone added 14.

* Baron connected on 6-of-11 from the floor (3-6 3FG) while also grabbing seven rebounds.  Malone was 6-of-15 from the floor (2-7 3FG) and pulled down four boards.

* Rhody committed just eight turnovers – the second-lowest total this season.  The Rams had a season-low seven turns at Brown on Nov. 30.

* It was the third time this season that Rhode Island had a positive assist/turnover ratio.  The Rams had nine assists to go with the eight turnovers.

* Poor shooting plagued Rhode Island throughout the second half.  URI managed just 10-of-33 shooting (30.3%) over the final 20 minutes of play, missing 13 straight shots during a 13-3 GW run.

* After connecting on 5-of-7 from beyond the arc in the first half, Rhody missed all 15 of their 3-point attempts in the second half.

* Throughout the game, URI struggled from the foul line.  The Rams shot 42.9% from the line, making just 12-of-28 from the charity stripe.  It was the worst FT shooting performance in a game (min. 25 attempts) since Dec. 27, 2004, when Rhody hit just 11-of-26 in a 77-62 loss at Iona.

* Orion Outerbridge – hampered by back spasms – put forth a gutsy performance, with eight points, nine rebounds and two blocked shots.
