First Triple-Double In School History

Okay, so this isn't exactly Duke or Kansas. The only notable NBA alums we have are Cuttino Mobely and Lamar Odom. But how is it that Delroy James just recorded the first ever triple-double in Rhode Island Rams history? Props nonetheless for the senior stud, whose 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists propelled Rhody to a 76-59 win over Miami of Ohio in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational (as I mentioned earlier in the week, the NIT for pussies. Not sloppy seconds, but sloppy thirds of March Madness).

URI improves to 20-13, giving us four consecutive 20-win seasons. Over the past four years, the Rams have won 90 games, which makes this senior class the winningest in school history. And Delroy has been the leader of the pack through it all. Whatever the future holds for Delroy, perhaps one day he can be mentioned in the same question "only URI players to play in the NBA" as Mobely and Odom.
