SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The 2016-17 Creighton men's basketball season came to an end on Friday, falling 84-72 to Rhode Island.
The Bluejays never led in the contest, snapping a streak of eight straight postseason appearances with at least one victory.
With the win, URI advances to meet third-seeded and ninth-ranked Oregon on Sunday. A start time and television network will be announced later on Friday night.
Rhode Island held the Bluejays without a field goal for the first 4:48 of the game before a trey by Khyri Thomas cut URI's deficit to 6-4.
