The next dead ball is a travel as Shortt falls to the ground after a rebound with 11:55 to go. We have the media.
Very fast 7-0 run for the Purple Eagles. Starts with Page getting to the corner for a three against the 1-3-1, then back-to-back steals and finishes for Josiah Sabino and then Brian Griffith.

Trenton Walters drilled a pull-up, and then a triple. He's got 10 points in 11 minutes, and he'll have a chance for two more at the line after the media. But Quigley drilled a three for his first bucket of the day to push the lead back to 4.

The teams trading the lead around. Bing went back to the 1-3-1 for a few more possessions, but they're still working hard on the glass. Quigley has struggled badly though, 0-5 from the field and just got swatted by Landon Williams.

Niagara was a little bottled up by Binghamton's 1-3-1 for a moment, it allowed the Bearcats to take a lead, but the Purple Eagles grabbed it right back with a layup by Zanki off the cross-post feed from Hawkins.

What a sequence. Josiah Sabino blocked a Bryson Wilson dunk, then Will Shortt missed a wide-open slam on the other end.
Anyway, Page hit a three, and Trenton Walters drilled a stepback trey of his own, and the Purple Eagles are doubling up Binghamton, 14-7, at the second media.
