The Holy Cross Crusaders men's basketball team (6-9,1-4 PL) fell 72-70 in overtime to (11-5, 2-3 PL) Army on Wednesday night at the Heart Center.

Here are five takeaways from the game. 

Prev Next

Malcolm Miller

Malcolm Miller was very disappointing in this game only netting seven points on 1-of-5 shooting from the field. Five of his points came from the free throw line. Miller also turned the ball over four times.

Miller did pick up four fouls in the game so maybe that throws off his rhythm a bit, however, he did play 41 minutes. It's not like he was sitting on the bench with fouls. 

Malcolm Miller did do a couple of good things, grabbing seven rebounds, coming up with four steals and blocking two shots. 

However, Holy Cross needs more then seven points in 41 minutes out of Miller.

Cullen Hamilton

Cullen Hamilton had a solid performance coming off the bench, netting 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field in 24 minutes of play time. 

He also had two assists and three rebounds. 

The Crusaders bench was tremendous in this game, putting up 42 points and outscoring Army's bench 42-8 in the game. 

If the Crusaders bench can produce even half of that number on a nightly basis, that would be a huge lift for Holy Cross going forward.

Mitchell Hahn

Mitchell Hahn has not seen much action over the last couple of weeks for whatever reason but in this game he was given a big opportunity and he took advantage of it. 

Hahn played 26 minutes, netted 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field , pulled down seven rebounds, dished out three assists and had five blocked shots. 

A performance like this makes you wonder why he wasn't playing much previously as the team struggles along. 

It will be interesting to see his minutes in the next game. 

What a night for Mitchell Hahn.

Second chance points

Army won the game in part due to winning the second chance points battle by a large margin, 21-9. 

Army also won the battle on the offensive glass which helps create the second chance oppurtunities. Army grabbed 18 offensive rebounds which helped lead to their 21 points while Holy Cross grabbed 14 offensive rebounds  but only created nine points out of it. 

Second chance points is a major reason why Army won this game.

7.4 Seconds Left

The Crusaders were 7.4 seconds away from forcing a second overtime period after a Cullen Hamilton layup tied the game at 70, however, their defense couldn't hold up. 

Army's Dylan Cook took the ball the length of the floor and was able to get himself a game winning layup with 1.9 seconds left.

It was a pretty easy layup for Cook who got right where he wanted to go and the Holy Cross defense did not do all that much to get in his way or at least make it a jump shot and not a layup. 

Heartbreak for Holy Cross.
