42-41 Niagara; 17:58 in the 2nd

• Cooley is irate at the defense and the far too fast-paced tempo of this game and calls a timeout.
  
• Fisher answers with a pull-up jumper. 42-41 Niagara.
  
• Evanovich gets a pretty kick-out from Herbie and nails a trey. They're going to need him to shoot like that the rest of this game to pull it out. 41-40 Stags.
  
• Fisher goes one-of-two. Not too shabby. 40-38 Niagara.
  
• Fisher hits a quick shot - the Eagles are coming out hot. Just as I type that, Charron Fisher drives the lane and draws a foul from Anthony Johnson. He goes to the line for a pair. 39-38 Niagara.
  
• Evanovich misses an easy shot after an in-bound. Cooley: "I could've made that lay-up".
  
• Tyrone Lewis picks up the second half right where he left off: Tyrone Lewis hitting a three after a screen. 38-37 Stags.
  
• Stat o' the half: Charron Fisher was held to only six point (3-of-11 shooting). The Stags did a nice job with match-up zone on Fisher and his mates. Specifically, Anthony Johnson posed problems for Fisher one-on-one coverage.
