Barnett powers Sacred Heart comeback to beat Fordham 71-70
NEW YORK -- De'von Barnett scored seven of his 11 points in the final 2:31, including the go-ahead basket with 2.7 seconds left, and Sacred Heart closed on a 16-4 run to beat Fordham 71-70 on Wednesday night.

Sacred Heart scored 11 straight to tie it at 66 on Barnett's jumper with 2:31 left. Fordham (5-3) scored all of its final four points on one trip, partly due to a technical foul assessed to the Pioneers' bench with 2:01 left.
