NO. 16 RHODE ISLAND UPSET

- — The Associated Press

Matt Mobley scored 26 points and grabbed a key rebound with 4.2 seconds left, and St. Bonaventur­e beat Rhode Island 77-74 to snap the 16th-ranked Rams’ 16-game winning streak on Friday night.

LaDarien Griffin scored 10 of the Bonnies’ last 14 points over the final six minutes in rallying them back from a 67-61 deficit — St. Bonaventur­e’s largest of the game. The Bonnies (20-6, 10-4 Atlantic 10) won their eighth straight and stayed in the hunt for the regular-season conference title.

Jared Terrell led the Rams with 23 points but missed a potential goahead layup with 4.8 seconds left. Down 75-74, Terrell’s shot banked off the backboard and off the front of the rim and out. Mobley came down with the rebound and was fouled.

The Rams (21-3, 13-1 A-10) had not lost since dropping a 68-64 decision at Alabama on Dec. 6. Rhode Island’s winning streak was the longest active in the nation.

Nevada star out.

No. 24 Nevada has lost star point guard Lindsey Drew for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Coach Eric Musselman told the Reno Gazette Journal it’s a “devastatin­g” blow to the Wolf Pack (22-5, 11-2), who lead the Mountain West Conference by two games over Boise State (20-6, 10-4).
