What It Means:
The Rams fall to 0-4, but showed definitive signs of turning the corner with their effort against Seton Hall.  Rhody led for the first 39 minutes of the contest, playing shorthanded due to the suspension of senior Nikola Malesevic (violation of team policy), but the Pirates closed the game on a 16-3 run over the final six minutes of play.

Inside the Box Score and Beyond:
* Mike Powell led the Rams with his 19 points - connecting on 5-of-6 from the perimeter and 2-of-3 from the line.  For his efforts, he was named to the Hall of Fame Tipoff All-Tournament team.

* In the two games against #4/4 Ohio State and Seton Hall, Powell played 78 of the 80 total minutes.  He is averaging 37.5 minutes per game.

* With 10:57 left in regulation, Powell connected on a 3-pointer and was fouled in the attempt by SHU's Kyle Smyth.  He converted the free throw for  Rhody's second 4-point play of the season.

* Andre Malone added 12 points in 40 minutes.  He entered the weekend having connected on just 1-of-10 from 3-point land - and hit 5-of-10 over the two-game span at Mohegan Sun Arena,

* Alwayne Bigby gave the team some valuable minutes off the bench.  The graduate transfer from Northeastern had seven points and six rebounds - including three on the offensive glass.

* Seton Hall held a 26-7 free throw discrepancy in Sunday's game.  On the weekend, opponents had 44 free throw attempts to just 15 for Rhody,
