PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Jalen Lindsey scored nine of his 13 points in the second half to help Providence beat No. 21 Rhode Island 63-60 on Saturday.
Kyron Cartwright had 19 points and eight assists and Rodney Bullock scored 17 points for the Friars, who beat their cross-state rival for the seventh straight time. Providence (6-2) trailed 47-40 midway through the second half when Lindsey hit 3-pointer and followed with two free throws during a 7-0 run to tie it.

E.C. Matthews scored nine points and went 1 for 8 from 3-point range, airballing a 3 with 2 seconds left with a chance for the Rams to tie it.
Lindsey's free throws brought the Friars within two points, and Ryan Fazekas scored on a fast-break goaltending call to tie it. From there, there were three more ties and kept the game within one possession until Linsdey hit a fallaway jumper with 43 seconds left to give Providence a 59-55 lead.
But it was Lindsey who was called for a blocking foul on Jared Terrell's drive down the lane, allowing him to convert a three-point play with 30 seconds left. Bullock beat the full-court press with a long pass to Cartwright with a dunk that made it 61-58 with only 16 seconds left.
