NKU had a last-second shot that rimmed out. UMBC's Jairus Lyles scores 31 points and was the difference. Drew McDonald with 24 points and 11 boards. Game story and photos here.

 

Maryland-Baltimore County survives last-second NKU attempt, holds on for 76-75 victory | NKyTribune

Seems to be a pretty bad loss. Ken Pom had NKU 100 spots higher than the Retrievers.

Holland has to make that layup.

Just looking at the headline I thought the same. Not a team NKU should lose to if they want to get a tourney bid. That's the kind of loss that keeps you out unless you're a conference champ.

This one shocked me.

There only chance before this game was to win the conference championship, but I hear ya.

I tried to watch it on my Watch ESPN app, but it kept messing up. Thinking it had something to do with my internet. Bummed they didn't pull it out.

NKU has two losses now that totally surprised me. I'm sure they'll get it worked out though.

Norse have really struggled away from BB&T this season.

 

Hard to imagine they lose at home this season; here's hoping they get the road thing figured out by the time conference play rolls around.

Horizon is probably a one-bid league any way so nothing really lost.

Absolutely terrible loss. This has been a BAD road team.

True but if they want to move off that 15 seed line IF they back the dance they need to win these games on the road.

Seeing the crowd at that game yesterday, I can't believe people scoff at NKU drawing 3,500 - 4,000 at home games.

Wait a minute now. First of all it wasn't a "terrible" loss. People think that because teams have initials in their name they are bad. As was mentioned this team will be in the thick of their conference race and it's a pretty good conference. They probably should have won, yes, but terrible loss,no. Secondly, a BAD road team????

They won 2 games on the road in the Bahamas and have lost at Memphis by 2, to Vermont, a really good mid-major team by 2 and at East Tenn St., a team that had Xavier beat and just couldn't hold on. They have played a very good mid-major schedule and are 7-4, with Texas A & M tomorrow night. They will be fine.

Agree, not a bad road team necessarily but I hate that they've lost by 2, 2, and 1. If I'm not mistaken, Holland had the ball for the final shot in all three, has yet to pass, and they're 0 for 3. More concerned about that.
