11:36 2nd Canisius 38, BG 36: Griffs tie it on Hymes three and got ahead on two Turner FTs but this pretty uninspiring basketball on both sides. BG has two points in half. Looks like Griffs might score under 60 for third time in last four games.
15:48 2nd: BG 36, Canisius 33: Griffs get first field goal of half on Vazquez-Simmons reverse layup with 4:05 gone. And still they've cut the deficit from seven to three. Sloppy start to half on both sides.
