ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Looks like we're in for our third close game of the day. Charlotte closed to within two, but Rhode Island's Will Daniels hit his first three of the game immediately after Charlotte closed to within two; the teams traded buckets for Rhode Island's 37-32 halftime lead.

The Rams' Jimmy Baron has 15 on a 5-of-10 shooting performance, including three triples. Daniels has 7 but is only 1-of-4 from the floor. An'Juan Wilderness has 10 and Leemire Goldwire has 8. Goldwire's 3-of-8 overall and 2-of-7 from three-point range.

The team stats are virtually identical, with URI shooting a little better (12-for-26 against 10-for-24) and has two more three-pointers.

The halftime show is the Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team, which was announced as having members "from some of the roughest parts of Chicago." I must say, they're pretty impressive. One of the tumblers has two Livestrong bracelets on, another did The Worm while jumping over perpendicular jump ropes. I'm going to see if I can find a website that will let me liveblog tumbling exhibitions after this tournament is over.
