RICHMOND, Va. — Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley has come to VCU in the past with a young team and seen it get drummed. Matthews scored 18 points, Jared Terrell had 16 and URI beat VCU 81-68 for its 14th consecutive victory. Consecutive baskets by VCU closed the gap to 54-49, but Rhode Island scored 10 of the next 15 points and VCU never got closer than six again. We’re just trying to make history and be better every game,” Matthews said. VCU also was sloppy too often with the ball, committing 14 turnovers that Rhode Island turned into 16 points.
