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.

Rhode Island Republican Party chairman Joe Powers will resign effective Jan. 15, the party announced on Saturday, Jan. 3.
“Chairman Powers is stepping down due to the increased demands of his professional workload and an extensive travel schedule that no longer allow him to give the Chairmanship the full attention the position requires,” the party said in a news release. “The role of Chairman demands constant focus, and daily engagement especially moving into an election year, neither of which Chairman Powers can provide at this time.”
Powers a, real estate agent and unsuccessful 2022 candidate for a Cranston Senate seat, was elected to lead the state’s Republican Party in March 2023. He was reelected to a second two-year term in March.
During his tenure, Powers “oversaw meaningful organizational progress, including the successful update of the Party’s ByLaws and the full staffing of Party committees for the first time in over 20 years, establishing a strong and durable foundation heading into the next election cycle,” the GOP news release said.
Powers will remain on the GOP’s state Central Committee as chairman emeritus and will “continue to support Rhode Island Republicans in a smaller capacity,” the release said, thanking him “for his leadership and service.”
