Men's Basketball Falls to Rosemont in Double OT

ROSEMONT, Pa. – Keystone men's basketball team held on until the end but fell on the road to Rosemont in double overtime, 73-66, Thursday evening in a Colonial States Athletic Conference matchup at Alumnae Gymnasium.

The Giants clawed back from an 11-point halftime deficit and traded multiple late-game leads to force two overtime periods playing without their top two scorers.

Pete Laidley (Miramar, Fla./Pembrokes Pine Charter) broke a 64-all tie with a wide-open banked layup at the 2:40 mark of second OT, but it would be the Giants' last basket of the night as they would go 0 for 5 the rest of the way with the Ravens putting in nine points to come away with the win.
