00:00Game number one, Howard, 86-83 over UMBC, had the eight-point lead at the half.
00:05It came all the way down to the end where a missed three-point shot that had a good look.
00:09Almost found its way. Howard moves on with a victory.
00:13Yeah, kudos to Howard, too.
00:15They really, from the get-go, opened it up.
00:18The pressure kind of got to UMBC early, but they figured it out in the second half, Donnie.
00:24But ultimately, for two teams and two of the slowest-tempo teams,
00:28I mean, what, they scored 90-plus points in the first half.
00:31It was out of control, and they got after it.
00:35And, you know, UMBC made that comeback.
00:38They had a chance to send it to overtime.
00:40They had a good look on that three.
00:42It just didn't drop, and Howard advances.
00:45Post-game, Presser here from the Howard head coach.
00:47Let's hear from him.
00:49I think our guys' resiliency and being battle-tested in our tournament
00:55in some of our games this year, it was a very familiar place for us.
01:00So I'm just so happy for our university, our players.
01:05We talk about these moments when we present our university to our young men.
01:11We talk about how important it is for them to have a chance to get to an NCAA tournament
01:17and win games.
01:19It's a box that we check.
01:20We talk about that before the game.
01:21You know, we've never won a game.
01:24We've done a lot of things in our program,
01:25but let's check off the box of winning an NCAA game today.
01:29And I'm just so proud of our guys, so proud of our university,
01:32so proud of our leadership with Dr. Wayne Fredericks and Mr. Kerry Davis.
01:36And there you go.
01:37Moving on to a legitimate chance to win another game in the tournament.
01:40Well, we'll certainly find out shortly on that one.
