2-2 Tie; 15:14 in the 1st

• Whittington misses a three, followed by a Stags rebound.
• Danny Ogelsby ties it up on a nice look. Tie 2-2.
• James Smith gets a great look from Jordan down-low and hits an easy shot. Marist 2-0
• Shake misses his first shot on a pull-up jumper.
• Good defense from Peanut in the paint causes Smith to double dribble. Stags ball, still no score.
• Van Schaick hits Marty on a beautiful pass - but he misses the open three.
• Anthony Johnson steps out of bound on a post-up attempt on Smith. It wasn't go anywhere anyway.
• Marty misses ugly on a three-point attempt - but makes up for it by taking a charge on the other end from Stilphen.
• Marist misses both put backs on both end - first Farmer and then Smith wiffed on the rebound lay-in attempt.
• Johnson called on an early foul down-low. They went right after him.
• And now - gametime.
• Marty O'Sullivan and Danny Ogelsby both get the start tonight - freshmen Devin Johnson and Greg Nero both give way to their senior leaders.
• Nice showing for the Marist faithful - it looks like they brought their own fan bus from Poughkeepsie. I hate to say it, but they almost have more people than the "Red Sea". I'm hoping we get a little back-and-forth banter between both crowds tonight - high school style.
