William
Paterson 86, Christopher Newport 75 (OT) "When you have guys who have been together for three years, like this group has," said William Paterson head coach Jose Rebimbas, "a lot of time you listen to what they have to say. The last five minutes of the game we asked them, 'What is it that we have to do to win this game?' As always, Horace Jenkins said 'Give me the ball.' It's been a pretty good play for us so far." The senior guard finished with a game-high 35 points, but it was three of his game-high eight assists that sparked a game-saving rally for Paterson (24-4). Trailiing 62-56 with one minute left, Jenkins found senior forward Ray Ortiz in the corner for a three-pointer that cut the lead to 62-59, then after Jenkins missed a jumper, he hit Rashaan Barner for a dunk to cut the lead to 63-61. Christopher Newport's Terry Gray and Jenkins exchanged a pair of free throws, then after a Captains turnover, Jenkins found Chris Lauer on an inbounds pass for his only bucket of the night, which tied the game at 65-65. Carlos Heard missed a layup with 2.4 seconds left for Christopher Newport (25-4) and a Jenkins three from 26 feet out hit off the rim as time expired. William Paterson outscored Christopher Newport 21-10 in the extra period, behind 5-for-6 shooting from the floor and 9-for-13 shooting from the foul line. "I was just looking at it as my last minute of basketball," said Jenkins, "with all three seniors. So we just wanted to go out there and leave everything on the court." The Captains themselves had rallied from a 36-26 deficit late in the first half and as many as nine points, 49-40, with 11:07 to play. CNU then went on an 18-3 run to push in front, 58-52 with 2:41 to play. They maintained that lead to 62-56 before Paterson's final rally. Christopher Newport was led by Jermaine Woods' 20 points, including 5-for-11 from three-point range. Heard and Gray each finished with 13, while Antoine Sinclair fouled out with 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting. |
