Rosser gave RIT a short-lived lead on his bucket with 41 seconds to play that gave the Tigers a 62-60 lead, but Laing answered right back with his bucket with 26 seconds remaining. That set up Pierre-Louis' game-winner. Off a Union turnover, Marcell Davis (Buffalo, NY/St. Joseph's Institute) inbounded the ball to Pierre-Louis who turned and fired the game-winner from just over half court.
