The regular season came to an abrupt halt in the quarterfinals of the CAA Tournament as the Huskies fell to Towson 58-54.
At the half, the Tigers led 32-25. Towson shot 52 percent in the first half, while the Huskies shot only 33 percent. Coach Coen told the team at halftime to get the ball inside to Manny Adako, who the Tigers had no answer for, and they did.
Adako led the way with 23 points, helping the Huskies come back and take the lead in the second half. But they could not put the Tigers away. Every time Towson needed a big shot, they got one, including two huge put-back dunks down the stretch.
Down only three with 4 second left, Baptiste Bataille drew a foul while shooting a three-pointer. However he missed the first free-throw, made the second, and missed the third on purpose so the Huskies could attempt a rebound or tip-in, but it did not happen.
Frustrated, sad and disappointed, the Huskies had to leave Richmond early. But the season is not over, as they will now wait and see if they qualify for the postseason.
