Sunday, November 28, 2010
Brown Men's Basketball almost had it - a nice win on the road versus a solid New Hampshire team. But a lay-up by NH senior Dale DiLiegro with 2.8 seconds broke the Bear's back.

Brown was led by Peter Sullivan scored 20 points.
The Bears had come back from a 10-point halftime deficit, and tied the game, 60-60, with 2:13 remaining when Sullivan hit two free throws.
They then slipped ahead when Sean McGonagill hit one of two free throws to grab a 61-60 advantage with 1:40 left in the game.
Tucker Halpern of Brown tied the game 66-66, by connecting on two free throws with 8.1 seconds left on the clock. Then the nightmare, New Hampshire guard Chandler Rhodes drove the length of the court and feed DiLiegro under the basket for the game-winning lay-up with just 2.8 left on the clock. The Bears then fouled which led to the four point margin.
New Hampshire is now 4-1 after the win.
