Here are notes from the Dunkin Donuts Center.
1. Ed Cooley continues to heap praise upon Isaiah Jackson. The fifth year senior has been a stabilizing force for the 6-2 Friars, and was so once again against Rhode Island on Saturday night. No Friar made bigger plays in this one.
Jackson finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, but it was the timeliness of his biggest plays that stood out. He knocked down a 3-pointer and got to the free throw line on consecutive possessions out of the under 12 minute timeout in the first half to push PC ahead 23-12.
