Tied at 80 in the closing seconds of overtime Mackey McKnight broke down his defender and cruised for a game winning lay-up to give Lehigh a 82-80 win over Boston University.
Thanks Lehigh Sports:
"This was a hard-fought win," Lehigh head coach Brett Reed said. "We had a deficit, but fortunately for us, we showed great resolve as we have throughout the year. We had a number of different players step up and make key contributions, culminating by Mackey McKnight's tremendous finish."
The Mountain Hawks have now won four straight games, each time Lehigh was down at halftime.
McKnight led the Mountain Hawks with 23 points and was 4-7 from the three point line.

BU Hockey Legend Parker To Retire
Legendary Boston University hockey coach Jack Parker will announce his retirement Monday, on his 68th birthday, sources close to the program told ESPN.
Parker, who has coached the Terriers for 40 seasons, has 894 career wins, won three national championships and led Boston to 24 NCAA hockey tournament berths, seven Hockey East titles and 21 Beanpot championships, the annual February tournament featuring Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern and Harvard.
The Terriers are known throughout the hockey world for what Parker has built, but all of that reputation took a big hit when an on-campus report was released detailing a "culture of sexual entitlement" for BU players- including the release of details surrounding a party (and the sexual behavior within) at the BU hockey arena after the team won the 2009 national championship.
Mary Carmichael's Boston Globe must-read on the report release is hyah...
One player interviewed said that when girls were drunk the attitude on the team was that “the perception that they need not seek consent for sexual contact.”
Two Boston University players were charged with sexual assault, in different incidents, less than three months apart in 2011. Corey Trivino pleaded guilty in his case.
Here's analysis at the time from WCVB-TV
Boston University finished the 2012-13 regular season with a record of 18-15-2 and will face Merrimack in the quarterfinals of the Hockey East tournament next weekend.

80 Concussion Suits Linked Together Against NFL
((HT: ESPN))
It's now called a "master complaint..."
Eighty separate lawsuits against the NFL claiming the league hid information pairing football-related head trauma to permanent brain injuries was put forth in Philadelphia.
"The NFL, like the sport of boxing, was aware of the health risks associated with repetitive blows producing sub-concussive and concussive results and the fact that some members of the NFL player population were at significant risk of developing long-term brain damage and cognitive decline as a result," the complaint charges.
"Despite its knowledge and controlling role in governing player conduct on and off the field, the NFL turned a blind eye to the risk and failed to warn and/or impose safety regulations governing this well-recognized health and safety problem."
Here's John Buccigross with the details...
Former Atlanta Falcons safety Ray Easterling's wife, Mary Ann, is one of the suit's plaintiffs along with the likes of Jim McMahon and the family of Dave Duerson.
Word has circulated around ex-NFL'ers that free phone consultations regarding California Workman’s Comp with a representative who specializes in California workers comp cases for former NFL players and free phone consultations regarding joining the Concussion Lawsuit with a lawyer involved in the case are available if claims haven't been filed.
Also, the Boston University researchers who are chasing Chronic Encephalopathy (CTE) are asking NFL'ers to participate in Stage 1 of a research project.
From the e-mail:
DETECT (Diagnosis and Evaluation of Traumatic Encephalopathy with Clinical
Tests): This study is the first research project on CTE to be funded by the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), with support from the National Institute of
Neurologic Diseases and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute on Aging (NIA),
and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
The ultimate goal of this study is to develop methods of diagnosing CTE during
life through the use of a variety of tests, including MRI scans (such as
diffusion tensor imaging), MRS scans (also known as a “virtual biopsy”), blood
tests, and measures of proteins in spinal fluid. Participants will also undergo
neurological, psychiatric, and cognitive assessments, as well as genetic
testing. The study will include 150 former NFL players (ages 40-69) and 50
same-age “control” athletes who played non-contact sports.

For you hockey fans: BC wins Beanpot...again
It was a battle between the #2 and #3 ranked teams in College Hockey this year. But more importantly, it was a battle in the 60th annual Beanpot game.And #3 won.
Boston College won their 3rd straight trophy that is supposed to hold Boston Baked Beans in overtime on a goal by center Bill Arnold with only 6.4 seconds to go in the free period. That gave them a 3-2 win over Boston U.
Read more on the tourney, from the Boston Herald RIGHT HERE
For those of you unfamiliar, the tournament features 4-hockey teams from around the Boston area. Along with Boston College, Boston U, Northeastern and Harvard all participated in the tournament.
We'd post highlights, but it appears no actual video was shot to document the game... but we do have postgame sound...
