MASSIVE UPSET IN THE CAA TOURNAMENT!!! #7 SEED STONY BROOK KNOCKS OFF #2 SEED DREXEL. https://t.co/yY0Pba28wn
Geno Ford elected not to foul, and it almost cost him, but House’s three for the tie was air-mailed. Stony Brook, behind 52 and 16 from Chris Maidoh and Aaron Clarke, has pulled off the first major stunner of the #CAAHoops tournament, upsetting Drexel in double overtime, 91-88.
Big upset in the CAA. No. 7 Stony Brook upsets No. 2 Drexel in double overtime. Could get an all-Long Island semifinal if Hofstra beats Delaware coming up.
AARON CLARKE GIVES STONY BROOK THE LEAD WITH 18.5 TO GO. https://t.co/5NKSU4ViDr
Chris Maidoh with yet another clutch shot. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. He’s up to 25 and 9 now, complementing Clarke’s 24 and 7. Stony Brook is clinging to an 88-86 lead here, with 54.8 seconds remaining in the second overtime. #Seawolves #CAAHoops
Clarke with a left elbow jumper. Stony Brook up two just over a minute into the second overtime, and now the #Seawolves get a steal and draw a foul on a TSM dunk attempt. #CAAHoops
We’re going to double overtime after Aaron Clarke hit a floater and Drexel got denied in the final nine seconds. Apparently, 45 minutes wasn’t enough to decide this one, with Stony Brook and the Dragons still level at 80 apiece. #CAAHoops
Stony Brook has a chance to either win it or tie it up here. 80-78 Drexel with 19.8 to go. Amazing game in the nation’s capital.
Chris Maidoh is having the game of his life. He’s got 23 and 8, and just tied it again for Stony Brook after Drexel split a pair at the line. It’s 78-all with 1:34 remaining in overtime. #Seawolves #CAAHoops
This is Drexel’s first overtime game of the year, Stony Brook’s fourth. The #Seawolves are 2-1 in the extra session, with wins at Army and vs. UNCW, with a loss at Towson sandwiched in. #CAAHoops
MAIDOH AGAIN! After Mate Okros split a pair at the line, Maidoh posterized Williams for a game-tying jam. Drexel couldn’t get a shot off, so we’ll go to overtime tied at 71. Neither Geno Ford nor Zach Spiker elected to call a timeout there. Good stuff. #CAAHoops
Maidoh has scored the last four for Stony Brook after Drexel pushed its lead back out to five, thereby making this a one-point game again with 31.2 seconds left in regulation. The #Seawolves will foul Drexel, who is still in the single bonus and leading, 70-69. #CAAHoops https://t.co/vCCRRuWdT0
Stony Brook now within one after Keenan Fitzmorris pushed one in off the window. Spiker’s timeout becomes the U4, sending the #Seawolves and Drexel down the stretch in a 66-65 (love) affair going into the final 2:41. This game has delivered from the jump. #CAAHoops
Williams back in for Drexel, but Stony Brook is still down just three after Maidoh missed a 3-point play, but still got a Clarke step-back after getting the rebound off the missed free throw. The #Seawolves aren’t going quietly into the DC night. #CAAHoops
Drexel is up seven with 6:18 to go, led by 23 from Luke House, who has come up big with Amari Williams having left the game due to injury. Don’t count the #Seawolves out though, they’ve taken each team ahead of them in the #CAAHoops standings to the wire. They’re down 62-55 now.
In what has to be a record on the last couple years, both sides played 5:12 without a whistle of any kind. The first foul for either side — on Tyler Stephenson-Moore — triggers the first stoppage of the night, with Drexel up on Stony Brook, 12-9. #CAAHoops
