WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The College of Charleston men's basketball team fell 90-75 at William & Mary on Monday night.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Cougars jumped out to a 7-2 lead behind a pair of layups from Ante Brzovic and a Justas Stonkus triple. Stonkus added to lead on an emphatic dunk all the way from the baseline.
After going 1-7 from the field and allowing the Tribe to come within two, Derrin Boyd connected on a mid-range floater to extend the lead to 21-17. A stellar offensive rebounding effort from Lazar Djokovic and Elijah Jones kept the Cougars on the offensive end of the court. Three straight Brzovic points in the paint and a driving finish from CJ Fulton gave Charleston a 28-20 lead with eight minutes to play.
