Cougars Win Fourth Straight

BOSTON, Mass. – The College of Charleston men's basketball team won their fourth straight game with a 77-73 victory at Northeastern. The Cougars remain in a tie with UNCW for first place in the league standings.

Reyne Smith moved into second all-time in CofC history with his 254th career three on his first attempt of the game and sank his second three minutes later in a tightly contested opening minutes.

The opening ten minutes of play featured seven lead changes until Northeastern took their largest lead of the game at 30-25 with just under eight minutes to play in the first half.

Jordan Crawford's third triple of the frame brought the Cougars within two at 34-32 before Khalil London tied it at 35-35 with another three. London came alive after the make, draining a floater in the paint and a three at buzzer while getting fouled for the four-point play to send the Cougars into the locker room up 43-38.

Northeastern took their first advantage since 3:46 in the first half with a two-point 57-55 edge with 11:13 left in the second half. The Cougars took the lead back 20 seconds later and led by as much as 11 with four minutes to play, until an 8-0 Northeastern run brought the home team within two.
