Never losing the lead, the Catamounts solidified their first NCAA tournament bid since 2005 with an 83-70 win against Boston University in the America East championship game Saturday.
Senior Marqus Blakely led all around with 24 points, 18 rebounds and five assists. Senior Nick Viers, senior Maurice Joseph and junior Evan Fjeld also helped paved the way to the America East crown.
A sold-out crowd at Patrick Gym rushed the floor at the buzzer, rallying around the home team that will enter into the NCCA tournament for only the 4th time in school history.
