  • Baskets by Jaleen Carroll and Erold allowed the Rams to tie the game at 51-51, but layups by Rau and Thompson put the home team back on top midway through the half. 
  • Two made free throws from Perez established Regis’ largest lead of the night at 71-62 with 4:42 left in the second half, but Goines converted a traditional three-point play and then hit a three-pointer to close the Ram deficit to three at 73-70.  
  • Okafor and Carroll hit two free throws apiece to tie the game at 74-74 with 49 seconds remaining in regulation, but Rau hit a jumper on the Pride’s next possession to put Regis back on top.    
  • Framingham State overcame a miscue the next time it had the ball, receiving a technical foul for calling a timeout it did not have. Regis missed the free throw, and Okafor converted on a layup off an assist by Aveon Woods to tie the game with 10 seconds remaining.  
  • The Pride quickly pushed the ball down the court, and Thompson drove from the left wing towards the basket, converting the game-winning layup.
