Men's Basketball Clinches Playoff Berth With 79-73 Win Over SUNY Cobleskill

Waterville, ME - Men's Basketball delivered a clutch performance on their home court on Friday, February 13th, as Men's Basketball secured a 79-73 victory over SUNY Cobleskill to clinch a spot in the 2025-26 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Tournament. Terriers forward Isaiah Godley led the Terriers offense with 19 points, while five other Terriers eclipsed double digits in the win over the Fighting Tigers.


How it Happened:
  • The Fighting Tigers claimed the early lead off the opening tip, but quick buckets in response from Payton Mitchell and Jayden Desimone got the Terriers offense back on track.
  • Desimone looked to keep the Terriers offense going midway through 1st half, but a scoring run from the Fighting Tigers put the Terriers down 9-19 with just over 10 minutes remaining in the half.
  • Buckets from Desimone and Jayden Kim cut the Terriers deficit to single digtis the following minutes, but the Fighting Tigers continued to find responses.
  • The Terriers closed out the 1st half with 10 combined points from Desimone, Mitchell, and Kim, but still found themselves down 29-38 heading into the half.
  • TJ Blackmon and Isaiah Godley looked to build momentum for the Terriers in the opening minutes of the 2nd half, combining for nine quick points to cut the Terriers deficit to seven points.
  • Made buckets from Godley and Mitchell made it a 47-53 game with just under 13 minutes remaining in regulation, but the Fighting Tigers continued to battle for their lead.
  • The Terriers flipped the momentum of the game in the following minutes, completing an electric 11-0 run to claim a 63-58 lead with just under six minutes to play.
  • SUNY Cobleskill looked to reclaim the momentum shortly afterwards, cutting the Terriers lead to just two points.
  • But another small scoring run thanks to Godley, Blackmon, and Yasmo Mohamud extended the Terriers lead to eight points with 3 minutes remaining in the game.
  • A late three-pointer from the Fighting Tigers made it a 77-73 game with less than 20 seconds to play.
  • But clutch free-throws from Blackmon in the following seconds ultimately put the game out of reach, securing a crucial 79-73 conference win over SUNY Cobleskill to book a spot in the 2025-26 NAC conference tournament.
