KINGSTON, R. Jorge De La Rosa Jersey .I. -- After coasting through its first two games, No. 21 Rhode Island finally played a team that wasnt out of contention by halftime.Jared Terrell scored 18 points and E.C. Matthews added 17 as the Rams staved off upset-minded Brown on Wednesday night in Round Two of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off.This is the first time we got challenged since weve been on the court, Rams coach Dan Hurley said. Its the first time we were in something tight where we had to make some plays.Some mind-boggling things went on. We got out-hustled. I think we were a little full of ourselves today and this was the perfect opponent for us to get upset. Can this be a positive for us? Yes.Steven Spieth paced the Bears (1-2) with 21 points while Brandon Anderson added 16. Hassan Martin added 12 points for the Rams (3-0).We knew we would be challenged and that if we took care of the ball we would have had a chance, Brown coach Mike Martin said. In a game like this, every possession is critical and we had a few empty chances in the second half.After trailing 36-21 in the first half, Brown pulled within 41-33 at intermission as Spieth scored six points in the last 27 seconds.Obviously Im happy to survive the game, Hurley said. My hats off to Mike and his team. He had his guys really ready to play.They were really scrappy. I thought Spieth was the best player on the court. On our end Im disappointed because we had several chances in the first half to extend it and get away like we did in our first two games.Even though Rhode Island shot 57.7 percent from the field in the second half, the fact Brown switched from man-to-man to a zone defense still gave the Rams trouble.At one point Brown trailed 58-53 before Martin and Matthews ignited a rally that enabled Rhode Island to pull away.Great teams at that point get separation, Hurley said of his teams first-half play. I have much respect for the way their guys showed up and competed.BIG PICTUREBrown: The Bears tied for last last season in the Ivy League. But they may have delivered a message that this scenario wont be repeated after they upset Niagara 77-67 in their home opener on Nov. 13 and played Rhode Island tough on Wednesday.Rhode Island: Season-opening routs of Dartmouth and Marist enabled the Rams to move up two spots in the Top 25 poll, to No. 21. Logic dictates their road will become more difficult to traverse as the season progresses.POLL IMPLICATIONS: At the least the Rams didnt hurt their standings in the poll but how much this hard-fought victory will enable them to move up is debatable.HIGHLIGHT REEL: Martin continues to guard his teams basket like it contains the crown jewels as he blocked six shots which gave him a total of 262. That number ranks second among all active NCAA Division I players.TURNING POINT: The Bears had sliced their deficit from 15 points to 58-55 with 10:39 left in regulation. But Martin blunted that rally by sandwiching a dunk and a tip-in around a free throw by Matthews.FRESHMAN STANDOUT: Browns Anderson, who had only scored three points in his first two games, finished with 16 points and four rebounds with four steals.UP NEXTBrown should be favored when it faces Marist on Saturday in the Springfield Bracket of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The Red Foxes opened their season with a 94-49 loss to No. 1 Duke and a 107-65 defeat by Rhode Island.Rhode Island will face its most challenging, early season opponent on Saturday when it plays No. 24 Cincinnati in the Naismith Bracket of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Military police in Rio de Janeiro are stepping up security at the Olympics after a bus carrying journalists had two of its windows shattered by a projectile and a bullet flew into the stables area of the equestrian venue.Two large windows on the media bus were shattered Tuesday by what Rio organizers said was a rock. But a passenger disputed the account, saying she was sure it was gunfire. There were no serious injuries.Security has been a major concern surrounding the Olympics as Rio is plagued by rampant crime, including frequent murders, gun battles and muggings. Police near the Olympic beach volleyball venue in Copacabana found body parts on the shore last month, and an off-duty bodyguard for Rios mayor was shot to death around the same time in an apparent mugging. Adding to the anxiety is terrorism fears about Islamic State.Rio is deploying about 85,000 soldiers and police to secure the games, twice as many as London did four years ago. Soldiers in military fatigues and carrying guns have been a common sight around Olympic venues.Security was visibly increased overnight on a media bus route toward a womens basketball arena, with three military vehicles and more troops holding guns along the way.The equestrian venue has had two brushes with stray gunfire since the games started. As a result, officials are adding more security at the venue.A bullet flew through the roof of a media tent at the Olympic Equestrian Center on Saturday. Officials said it had been fired from a hillside slum, and that the intended target was probably a security camera on a blimp.A second bullet hit Wednesday near the stables around the same time investigators were arresting someone in the slum in connection with the first shooting. No one was injured in either episode.I can guarantee your total safety, said Gen. Luiz Ramos, chief commander for the first division of the Brazilian army. Nick Ahmed Jersey. We have reinforced security systems ... to provide more security.The entire competition venue is situated on military land and gunshots could be clearly heard throughout the day during the dressage competition. Riders said they and the horses were not bothered by the noise, but Ramos said authorities ordered a halt to the training exercises.Newton de Oliveira, an independent security expert with no ties to the organizers, said the fact remains that Rio is still a violent city despite the beefed-up patrols.The level of violence is the same despite the deployment of forces, he said. You can see that areas downtown and near the beaches -- the security forces have made crime drop some, but the city in general is just as dangerous.Passenger Lee Michaelson described a panicked scene on the media bus as the glass shattered and people ducked for cover. Michaelson insisted she heard gunshots.I know what a gun sounds like, said Michaelson, who identified herself as a former Air Force officer covering the games for a womens basketball website. It was the sound before I ever saw the glass (shatter) or anything.Rio police were adamant that it wasnt gunfire, and they expressed confidence in their ability to get to the bottom of what happened.There were no shots, the forensics were made on the bus, I have pictures and I can show them, said Rio police Investigator Carolina Salomao. If there were a shot it would have gone through. There was not that so that theory has been completely discredited.---AP writer Adriana Gomez Licon contributed to this report.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .His work can be found at bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wade NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale China NFL Jerseys Stitched Jerseys China Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '
