Fatts Russell Picks Trae Young's Pocket, Hits 3 After E.C. Matthews Triple

The Rhode Island Rams used 11 triples to beat the Oklahoma Sooners in the opening round of the 2018 NCAA tournament Thursday, with a sequence midway through the second half standing out.

Trailing by four, Rhode Island went on a 9-0 run to get the crowd behind it. Right after an E.C. Matthews three-pointer that gave the Rams the lead, Fatts Russell picked Sooners star Trae Young's pocket and drilled a triple right in his face.

That wild sequence helped turn a 50-46 deficit into a 55-50 lead. Rhode Island would advance to the second round with an 83-78 overtime victory.
