CAA.TV brings you complete video highlights of one of the
most exciting quarterfinal rounds in recent CAA Men’s Basketball Championship
memory. All three of Saturday’s contests went down to the wire, including
another thriller between James Madison and William and Mary.
No. 4 seed George Mason opened Saturday’s quarterfinal play
with a 60-54 victory over No. 5 seed Drexel. Redshirt junior Sherrod Wright
poured in 23 points on 6-of-11 shooting and an 11-for-12 outing from the line
to lead three Patriots in double figures. The Dragons got 20 points from junior
Frantz Massenat and 12 rebounds from senior Daryl McCoy to stay close throughout
the contest.
No. 2 seed Delaware and No. 7 seed Hofstra picked up where
the opening pair left off, with the Blue Hens prevailing in a hard-fought 62-57
win over the Pride. Senior Jamelle Hagins finished with 12 points and 15
rebounds for his 15th double-double of the season, while junior Devon Saddler
added a game-high 22 points and classmate Carl Baptiste brought down 11 boards
in the win. Sophomore Taran Buie and senior Stevie Mejia both had 13 points and
eight boards to pace the Pride.
In the nightcap, the third-seeded Dukes held off the
sixth-seeded Tribe, 72-67, in a back-and-forth battle that saw both sides’ fans
rarely take their seats. Senior Devon Moore had a stellar 8-for-12 night from
the floor to finish with 20 points, while classmate A.J. Davis followed suit
with a 20-point performance that included a pair of monster dunks. Sophomore
Marcus Thornton was terrific in the loss, totaling 25 points on 8-of-12
shooting and a 6-for-7 night from the stripe, while junior Brandon Britt
eclipsed the 1000-point plateau with his 17-point showing.
