Mathews Leads URI to 66-62 OT Upset of Nebraska

Nebraska-Huskers-BasketballSOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (AP) — E.C. Mathews scored 26 points, including six in overtime, to help the University of Rhode Island upset No. 21 Nebraska 66-62 on Saturday night.

Jared Terrell added 12 points, including two 3-pointers in the extra session to the delight of the sellout crowd.

Mathews added 10 rebounds as the Rams outrebounded the Cornhuskers 48-35.

Terrell made a 3-pointer in the opening minute of the extra session to put the Rams back on top, and this time that’s where they would stay, thanks to another 3 by Terrell, a free throw by T.J. Buchanan and Matthews’ last five points, all from the free throw line.

Shavon Shields had 25 points and nine rebounds to lead Nebraska.
