The Wagner Seahawks built a 17 point lead and looked like they were easily heading to the first round. Then, Howard came storming back to cut the lead to 1 with a Bryce Harris layup for the Bison. The Seahawks got fouled and Julian Brown pushed the lead to 3 points with just 14 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Howard came down the court, and Jordan Hairston missed a three-pointer. But Howard\u2019s Marcus Dockery got the rebound and kicked it back out to Hairston, who missed a second three pointer, but Dockery came down with the ball again, desperately headed out to the three point line and fired a third desperation three pointer at the buzzer. But it missed as well and Wagner survives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
