17-13 Stags; 11:23 in the 1st

• Herbie Allen gets in on the scoring hits a three of his own. 17-13 Stags
  
• Evanovich tries a catch-and-shoot quick three and misses long. After an offensive board from Anthony Johnson, Evanvovich tries his favorite move again - but is called with a travel. Jaspers ball.
  
• Ferguson and Anthony Johnson struggle for a rebound, with Manhattan gaining possession after a timeout on the floor.
  
• Evanvoich pulls the trigger fast and nails a three. 14-13 Stags.
  
• Antoine Pearson is the beneficiary of strong transition defense and an untimely Stags' turnover. It was a 3-on-none for Manhattan.
  
• Jamal Ferguson works his magic again with another trey - this time in the corner. 11-11 here at Draddy.
  
• Han keeps the zone honest again by throwing an alley oop, this time to Anthony Johnson. A definite Cooley trait is to throw the alley oop pass to keep the zone back a bit. Nicely done, boys. 11-8 Stags.
  
• Han tries to throw an alley oop pass from well beyond the arc, which draws a foul on Manhattan as Hawkins went up to grab it. Stags' retain, and Manhattan is fourced to sun Laurence Jolicoeur out.
  
• Jamal Ferguson breaks Fairfield's trap-zone D with a three. 9-8 Stags.
  
• Draddy Gym is half-full - a nice, little facility here in the Bronx. A pretty, city ca
  
• Four three's to start the game for the Jaspers. Looks like they've done their homework on Fairfield - given the Stags' M.O. to be poor on perimeter defense. However, to be fair, Manhattan is likely not the kind of team that can play a fast-paced game with Fairfield and expect to win.
