; in the 1st

• Halftime at the Harbor: Fairfield 38, Niagara 34
  
• Just as it appears the clock is ready to wind down, Han heaves the ball down court to Herbie Allen. Allen drives the ball to the hoop on a two-on-one. Initially, Herbie comes up short, but Mike Evanovich hustles down court and gets the tip in at the buzzer. Big ovation from the Harbor Yard crowd.
  
• Niagara tries to hold for the final shot, but Charron Fisher's shot comes up short. Stags' ball.
  
• Anthony Johnson and the Stags force a turnover thanks to some hustle - much to the delight of Cooley. Han hits Evanovich on a lay-up as Mike really breaks it down the court.
  
• Yorel Hawkins tosses away a potential rebound, which results in Tyrone Lewis hitting yet another three. He's slowly morphing into Milan Prodanovic before our eyes. 34-32 Niagara.
  
• Han hits both free throws to put the Stags back on top. Let's see if the defense can make a stand. 32-31 Stags.
  
• Kamau Gordon stepped out to trap Jon Han - an attempted pick and roll from Fairfield. The play was botched, but Han got the foul call.
  
• Tyrone Lewis answers (once again) from behind he arc. 31-30 Niagara.
  
• Just before the media break, Yorel Hawkins was fouled on the floor trying to aide the Stags in breaking the press. Niagara had ten team fouls, so Yorel turned a loose ball foul into two points from the line. 30-28 Stags.
