A junior guard Jawarie Hamelin (Westerly, R.I.) layup among a made free throw from junior guard Sami Pissis (Paris, France) gave the 'Cats their fifth point of the night. The Bearcats matched that to the game's first media timeout to tie the score (5-5).

Binghamton went up by five points but a freshman center Caleb Middleton (Dover, N.H.) layup and a sophomore forward Dylan Saunders (Roanoke, Va.) three-pointer tied the game at 18.
