          Hofstra 95, James Madison 88 (3 OTs)

          Feb 9, 2005

            HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -- Loren Stokes scored a career-high 30
            points and Hofstra won the first triple-overtime game in school
            history, beating James Madison 95-88 on Wednesday night.

            Mike Radziejewski had 21 points for the Pride (15-7, 7-6
            Colonial Athletic Association).

            Jomo Belfor had 24 points for the Dukes (4-17, 2-11), while
            Cavell Johnson added 21 points and 15 rebounds.

            Four free throws by Wendell Gibson opened scoring in the third
            overtime, giving the Pride an 88-84 lead with 3:04 left. Johnson's
            jumper got James Madison with two points about 30 seconds later,
            but Hofstra scored the next five points, three from freshman
            Antoine Agudio, to go up 92-86.

            Belfor made two free throws with 23 seconds to play in
            regulation to send the game to overtime tied at 62. Adrian Uter of
            Hofstra, a 47 percent free throw shooter, went 1-for-2 from the
            line with 37 seconds remaining in the first overtime to tie the
            game at 71-71. Radziejewski's jumper with 26 seconds left in the
            second overtime made it 80-80.
