Providence, R.I.—Senior guard Keyshaun Jacobs (Lynn, Mass.) joined the RIC Men's Basketball 1,000 career point club as the Rhode Island College men's basketball team stomped Plymouth State, 98-84, in Little East action at The Murray Center on Saturday afternoon.
 
THE BASICS

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Jacobs was honored, along with his family before the game on Senior Day.
 
• With just seconds left in the first half, Jacobs hit a free throw to climb over 1,000 points for his RIC career. He went over 1,000 career points (combined with his stint at Morehouse College) at Plymouth State on Jan. 31. Those free throws put RIC up, 47-43, at the end of the first half.
 
• The Panthers would stick around in the second half, but the Anchormen would take a 10-point, 85-75, lead with three minutes remaining after a Jacobs trey. RIC would remain comfortably in the lead and convert their own free throws down the stretch to secure the win.
