SMITHFIELD, R.I. --- John Williams and Jon Ezeokoli combined for 39 points and each drained four three-pointers to lead the Bryant University men's basketball team to a 111-71 rout of 12^th-ranked Holy Family Thursday at the Comfort Suites Holiday Classic at the Chace Athletic Center. 

    The 111 points scored are the most under fifth-year coach Max Good at Bryant and the fifth most in school history.  A total of 11 players scored at least a point in the game with six reaching double figures.

    Holy Family raced out quickly, scoring the game's first six points, but the Bulldogs would quickly answer, going on a 17-5 run over the next seven minutes to take a 17-11 lead.  Three long three-pointers from Ezeokoli and a pair of treys from John Williams helped key the spurt. 
    The Tigers, who came into the tournament winners of eight in-a-row before falling to Saint Anselm yesterday, pulled to within 25-16 with just over ten minutes left in the half, but the Bulldogs, behind more strong shooting from the outside, would go on another offensive tear and close out the half with a 15-2 run to take a 58-32 lead at the half.

     The second half was no different as the Bulldogs connected on four more three-point field goals and finished with 12 in the game. Bryant's bench out-scored Holy Family's 48 to 26 with Nathaniel Sudlow and freshman Jarrenn Wright coming off the bench to score 14 and 13 points respectively. 

      Williams, who drained four three's in Wednesday's win over Bloomfield, was 4 for 9 from beyond the arc against Holy Family and finished going 8 for 15 from the floor.  The senior, who led all scorers with 21 points, also had three assists and pair steals while playing 31 minutes without a turnover.

      Freshman Nick Pontes had 10 points and nine rebounds.  Ezeokoli would finish with 18 points on 7 of 12 shooting. 

     Holy Family (8-3), was led by Dan Welch and Ryan Lancaster's 14 points while Edward Greene-Lon added 13 points and nine rebounds.  The Tigers shot a respectable 42.3 percent from the floor, but turned the ball over 23 times in the game.
     Bryant will host Assumption Monday at 7:30 p.m.
