Mason Williams rebounds a missed free throw, gets fouled, makes two shots and this one will be over after PSU's timeout and inbound. Eastern leads 72-67, 1.6 seconds left.

Eastern’s got the lead back thanks to a 3 and a 2 by Tyler Powell, who is having his best game with the Eagles. He’s got 17 points and still hasn’t missed (7-of-7). Eagles lead 66-65 with 2:42 to go.

The Eagles have been playing an undersized lineup for the last four minutes, and a putback by 6-foot-9 post Tre-Vaughn Minott has given the Vikings a 62-61 lead, their first since it was 4-2, with 5:17 to go. Minott has 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Tyler Powell is up to a season-high 12 points after that 3 in the corner. He and Elijah Thomas have thus far been absolutely great for the Eagles, who lead the Vikings 59-54 with 7:29 to go. Powell is 5-for-5 from the field; Thomas is 3-for-4 and has nine points.

Not the best series of possessions there for the Eagles, who have three turnovers in the last four possessions. Still the Eagles lead 53-48, as PSU is 5-of-15 this half. 10:58 left in the second half.

A poised offensive effort so far for the Eagles, who lead 29-23 at 7:33. They are shooting 60% from the field, and so far the shot selection has been really good. Eight different EWU players have scored, led by six points, on two 3s, by Elijah Thomas.

Refs are reviewing whether Terri Miller Jr. committed a flagrant foul as his hand swiped down and hit Andeew Cook after a rebound.

Whenever Tre-Vaughn Minott touches the ball for Portland State, the classic North Dakota ad campaign runs through my head: "Why not ... Minot?" I just can't un-think it. Eagles lead 16-11 at the 11:46 point of the first half.

Mason Williams with a step-back 3 over Holt at the top of the circle, and with 2.1 seconds left the Eagles have an 83-80 lead. Biggest make so far in the sophomore’s two seasons at Eastern.

Mason Williams is having another big scoring night with 26 points, but I've got to think the Eagles will be even happier with a different number: 6 assists, a season-high for him. Eagles have an 80-78 lead with 49.7 seconds left. Hornets have the ball coming out of a timeout.
