CLINTON, N.Y. – Hamilton College's Teja Singh '25 dropped in 24 points and the Continentals outlasted the Connecticut College Camels 70-61 in a 2025 NESCAC Men's Basketball Championship quarterfinal on Coach Tom Murphy Court inside Margaret Bundy Scott Field House on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 22.

Matthew Rideout '27 capped the scoring burst with a long-range basket.
  • Garret Keyhani '26 scored six consecutive points, highlighted by a dunk while drawing a defender, and extended the lead to 24-12 with 4:44 remaining.

  • Hamilton answered with eight straight points and rebuilt its lead to 12 points at 53-41 with 9:12 left. Hank Morgan '25 connected on a three, Robinson followed with a jumper, and Singh -- feeling the home court energy -- nailed a long-range shot.
  • Conn. College cut the Continentals' lead in half with a 9-3 spurt and closed its gap to 56-50 with 4:07 left.
