Waterville, ME - Men's Basketball hosted Colby College in the Elm City Classic on Wednesday, November 19th, but would ultimately fall to the Mules by a final score of 73-96.


How it Happened:

• Isiah Corson would get the Terriers on the board first with quick three-pointer in the opening minute of the game.
• But four consecutives three-pointers from the Mules shortly after would put the Terriers down 3-12.

• The Terriers would find themselves down double digits late in the first half after another scoring run from the Mules.
• Despite a strong shooting performance from the Mules in the first half, strong defense from TJ Blackmon and 3 consecutive three-pointers from Nate Hebert would put the Terriers down 37-51 to close the half.
• Cureton and Blackmon would get the Terriers offense going in the second half, combining for seven quick points.
• Hebert would cut the Terriers deficit to 10 points midway through the 2nd half with his fourth made three of the game.
