Rhode Island edges past Charleston 68-62
KINGSTON, R.I. -- Jared Terrell scored 21 points and Cyril Langevine added 13 points to go with 10 rebounds to lift Rhode Island to a 68-62 win over College of Charleston on Saturday.

Terrell hit his fifth straight free throw with 10 seconds left and Chealey missed two 3-pointers before the buzzer.
