60-55 Stags; :40.4 remaining

• More Mamadou chants from the Fairfield faithful.
• Mamadou gets pushed by Brock after the play. Brock gets T'd up and Mamdou comes up smiling and clapping. Gotta love a guy like that. Diakhate is the kind of guy you love to have on your team, but you hate to play against.
• After killing the clock a little, Shake tries to feed down low to Nero. Nero falls over and somehow finds Allen. Allen misses the shot, but is fouled.
• Stags ball with a minute to go.
• Allen is called for a ten second defense violation. Brock goes to the line and hits both. 60-55 Stags.
• Han's errant pass leads to a fast break. Luckily Mamdou grabs a steal and ends the threat. Nice defense again. ("Ma-ma-dou! Ma-ma-dou! chants from the Red Sea, or what is attempting to be a cheering section)
• Han is fouled, sending Brock to the line. Brock hits both 60-53 Stags.
• Great drive and penetration by Herbie Allen, who took it from the top of the key all the way to the lay-in. Stags are in control at 60-51.
• Missed shot on Mamadou's defense leads to a Han rebound. Stag ball.
• Off the timeout, Mamadou is back on the court.
• Food for thought: the Stags haven't won four consecutive games since '02-'03 season.
