HALFTIME: Northeastern 33, Vermont 30
PERFECT way for the hosts to close out the first half. A scoop n’ score for William Kermoury, picking TJ Long’s pocket.
Long is just 2-7 from the field in the first half. Northeastern goes into break with the lead.

Sean Blake came off the bench to drain two threes, but he got T'd up after the last one -- which came off a nice Yalden assist. Mike Loughnane also gave his team a spark off the bench. He's got four points.

Really tough blow for the Huskies, who will need to rely on their young talent to mature fast.

What could've been a backbreaking three by Ryan Pettis to put Fordham up by 6 was answered by Khalil Badru with a shot in the paint.
Sabally -- who has been Iona's best player tonight -- picks up his second foul. To the penultimate media, 64-60 Rams.

Fordham has the lead! Lesmond hits a three and Reaves goes coast-to-coast and it's 57-56 Rams at the U12.
Dan Geriot wanted to let his players play and not call timeout, but he gets to the media pretty quickly afterwards as Pettis picks up his third personal.

Mike Magpayo calls timeout -- one possession later than I think he maybe wanted to. Toby Harris drills a three to put the Gaels up by 7, their largest lead of the game.
