Baltimore, Md.-- UMBC men's basketball saw their five-game win streak snapped in a tough 76-74 loss to Binghamton on Wednesday. UMBC had a chance late, but the attempt from K.J. Jackson (Missouri City, Texas) was just off the mark and another late try couldn't beat the buzzer. Jackson finished with 20 points with Brandon Horvath (West River, Md./Southern) having a career day with 23 points and 19 rebounds. 

UMBC falls to 14-15, 7-7 AE while the Bearcats improve to 10-18, 4-11 AE.

Horvath led the way with a career-high in points (24) and rebounds (19). Jackson also reached 20 points adding three steals. Dimitrije Spasojevic (Vrsac, Serbia) was the other Retriever in double figures with 12.

Sam Sessoms led four in double figures for Binghamton with 24 points. 

Coming out of the locker room, UMBC would go on an 11-0 spurt to take an eight-point lead, their largest of the night. However, an 11-0 Binghamton run would put them back in the lead as both sides exchanged turns leading the game. 

It was the Retrievers who punched late, going on a 7-0 run that was capped by a Jackson triple to give UMBC the lead with under a minute to go. Binghamton would have the response with Pierre Sarr drilling a three late in the clock to give the Bearcats a one-point lead with 30 seconds left. 

UMBC had a chance late to retake the lead, but Jackson's layup fell short. Trailing by three with four seconds left, R.J. Eytle-Rock (London, England) was fouled. He would make the first and off the intentional miss, the putback was after the buzzer, as UMBC fell 76-74 on Wednesday. 

The Retrievers would shoot 42 percent from the floor and outrebound the Bearcats 42-38, but Binghamton used 14 three-pointers to down the Retrievers. 

Binghamton would race out to an early lead. Sam Sessoms would score 11 of the team's first 16 points. K.J. Jackson would keep the Retrievers in it with a steal and finish on the other end cut the deficit to just two. 

That ignited a 7-0 run for the Retrievers to pull even, but the Bearcats had the answer to retake the lead. UMBC would take a two-point lead into the break after using a 16-2 run over a six-minute stretch late. 

Dimitrije Spasojevic led the way with 12 points after going 4-4 from the field and the foul line in the first 20 minutes. He came off the bench to score eight straight and lead the Retriever comeback. UMBC shot 43 percent from the floor, outscoring the Bearcats 15-3 in bench points. 

UMBC will now head to Maine for their final road contest of the year on Saturday. Tip-off with the Black Bears is set for 1 p.m. on ESPN3.
