How It Happened
Saint Rose used a 21-5 run early in the second half to take its biggest lead of the game by the 14:28 mark of the half.  The Golden Knights led by four to start the second half and turned it into a 60-42 advantage as Mical-Ryan Boyd capped the run with a three-pointer.

Two possessions later the Tigers cut the lead to one point thanks to a three-pointer by freshman Randy Bell (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek) who finished with a game-high 32 points.  Bell's three-pointer made the score 77-76 with 2:24 to play. On the ensuing Golden Knights' possession, Damon Coleman converted a three-point play the old fashion way after scoring a layup and being fouled.  Coleman completed the free throw to increase the Knights' lead back to four points (80-76).
