Rhode Island’s Farrell, Brown’s Lilly collect hoops hardware. Here’s what they won
Brown men’s basketball coach Mike Martin speaks after a Bears win Sunday
The Bears recorded 27 assists and 15 made-threes, the most assists in at least a decade, the close out the College Hill Classic on Sunday night.
Kino Lilly Jr. and Tyonne Farrell took home some hardware as college basketball season cruised past the halfway point of its opening month.
Lilly was named the Ivy League Player of the Week and Farrell repeated as the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week. The guard from Brown and forward from the University of Rhode Island received their respective honors on Monday afternoon.
Lilly posted three 20-point games in as many nights for the Bears at their College Hill Classic, which was played at the Pizzitola Center. He hit for 26 points in an opening Friday win over New Hampshire and collected 20 in a closing Sunday victory over Sacred Heart. Lilly was 14-for-29 from 3-point range and posted 13 assists.
Lilly set a Brown program mark in the middle game against Holy Cross, surpassing JR Hobbie as the all-time leader in 3-pointers. Hobbie connected 257 times from beyond the arc in his 115 games, a career that ran from 2013-17. Lilly is currently at 264 makes from deep through 91 career games, starting with the Bears in 2021.
Farrell recorded a first career double-double in a blowout of Franklin Pierce, totaling 10 points and 10 rebounds in the 105-73 triumph. Farrell added six assists and two steals in just 22 minutes, as the Rams pulled away in the second half. He was a plus-22 in the box score.
Farrell is the first URI freshman to win consecutive conference rookie honors since E.C. Matthews grabbed four straight in 2013-14. That string was broken by teammate Hassan Martin — both cornerstones were among the first recruiting class brought in by former coach Dan Hurley. Farrell looks to have the makings of an impact talent for the Rams, starting each of his first three career games.
Brown will be back in action on Saturday at Canisius. URI returns sooner, hosting Lafayette in a 7 p.m. tip on Wednesday. The two teams will renew their rivalry series on Dec. 10 on the East Side.

Ranking Rhode Island’s Most Popular Charity License Plates – Rhode Island Monthly
When it comes to expressing ourselves, Rhode Islanders have elevated license plates to an art form. You might not be able to get a new vanity plate — the state suspended applications in 2021 after a judge ruled a Tesla owner could keep his FKGAS plates — but you can still express your Rhody pride with one of seventeen state-approved charity plates. The program has funded ocean research, thrown parades, saved crumbling lighthouses and even provided meals for residents. About half of the $43.50 surcharge goes to the associated charity, while the other half covers the production cost.

Rhode Island AG to unveil long-awaited report on Diocese of Providence clergy abuse
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha will release on Wednesday findings from a multiyear investigation into child sexual abuse in the Diocese of Providence.
According to the attorney general’s office, the report will detail the diocese’s handling of clergy abuse over decades.
While the smallest state in the U.S., Rhode Island is home to the country’s largest Catholic population per capita, with nearly 40% of the state identifying as Catholic, according to the Pew Research Center.
Neronha first launched the investigation in 2019, nearly a year after a Pennsylvania grand jury report found more than 1,000 children had been abused by an estimated 300 priests in that state since the 1940s. The 2018 report is considered one of the broadest inquiries into child sexual abuse in U.S. history.
Neronha’s investigation involved entering into an agreement with the Diocese of Providence to gain access to all complaints and allegations of child sexual abuse by clergy dating back to 1950. Neronha’s office said in 2019 that the goal of the report was to determine how the diocese responded to past reports of child sexual abuse, identify any prosecutable cases, and ensure that no credibly accused clergy were in active ministry.
Rhode Island State Police also helped with the investigation.
