Men’s Basketball Wins 2014 Coaches vs. Cancer Tip-Off Tournament by Defeating Anna Maria

New London, Conn. - The Framingham State University men's basketball team put together a 10-0 run in the final five minutes of regulation to pull away from Anna Maria College and win the Coaches versus Cancer Tip-Off Tournament at Connecticut College with a 62-55 triumph Sunday night in Luce Field House.

Junior guard Tim McCarthy (Winchester, Mass.) buried a three-ball with 50 seconds left that put the game away. McCarthy poured in a team-best 14 points to go with six rebounds for the Rams (2-0).  Sophomore Daniel Gould (Quincy, Mass.) chipped in with nine points, four assists and three rebounds in the triumph.

Anna Maria College junior Pat Bradanese (Billerica, Mass.) poured in a game-high 19 points in the setback, shooting 8-for-14 from the field and 3-for-6 from long distance. Senior Hugh Daye (Worcester, Mass.) finished with 14 points in the contest.

At the conclusion of the tournament an All-Tournament Team was selected.  Tim McCarthy and Daniel Gould represented Framingham State University on the squad. Anna Maria College junior Pat Bradanese and Southern Maine's Zach Leal were joined by Connecticut College student-athletes Zuri Pavlin and Lee Messier on the squad.

The Coaches vs. Cancer program unites the American Cancer Society with our coaches in the fight against cancer. Donations made at this weekend's games will go directly to the lifesaving efforts of the American Cancer Society to fund research, provide free programs for people with cancer and their caregivers, advocate for better cancer screenings and treatment, and provide education and information for all those who seek it.
