BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- In a tight, back-and-forth game, Paine College took the lead late and made that stand up, beating Stillman 78-75 today in the quarterfinals of the 2014 SIAC Men's Basketball Tournament at the Birmingham CrossPlex's Bill Harris Arena.
The game had 12 ties and 18 lead changes. The West No. 2 Tigers took their last lead with 2:35 left in the game as Markeith Madison plowed down the lane for a score and a 75-73 lead.
Toby Veal gave his Lions the lead back at 76-75 on an old-fashioned three-point play. Following an air-balled 3-point shot by Stillman's Jeffrey Wherry, Kenny Fluellen nailed a pair of free throws to provide the final margin.
Stillman missed two shots in with about 15 seconds left but couldn't muster a shot in the final eight seconds.
