No. 3 Roosevelt vs. No. 11 Grant
Muhammed with a clean look at a 3 that misses with 4 seconds left, which is just enough time for Owen Nathan to rebound, flip the ball ahead to Hill, who raced to the basket and laid it in just as the clock hits triple zeroes
Oh my! Roosevelt wins 67-65
Vashon Harges hits both FTs for Grant, but Morris attacks and feeds Syrius Owens for the tying basket with :19.5 left. Timeout Generals with 8.9 left
Morris answers for Riders, but White fouls out trying to draw charge with 25.2 left
Hill returns as Grant hits 2 FTs to take 63-61 lead 47.2 seconds left
Timeout Roosevelt 220 4Q - Hill gets steal out of midcourt trap, then comes up hopping on one leg after turning ankle in front of Riders bench. 61-59 Roosevelt
Morris squirms for a basket surrounded by 3 Generals to put Roosevelt back up 59-57 with 317 left. Timeout now by Grant to save possession, leaving Generals with 1 for final 3+ in regulation.

Generals are on a 22-5 run since trailing 48-30 with 526 left in 3Q
Back-to-back putbacks by Gates and James, and the deficit is ONE 53-52 as Riders call time with 527 to play. It is electric in this building.

HALFTIME: This time it's Roosevelt with the buzzer-beater as Owen Nathan buries a right-corner 3 to give Riders a 40-23 advantage over Grant going to the locker rooms.
Check that - Grant did not take Scott out after his 3rd foul, so he picks up his 4th with 1:25 left!

And now Quincy Scott with his 3rd foul for Grant. That's 3 starters on the bench for the rest of the half with 204 left

And a second General — Keion James — now has 3 fouls.
