Thorne was able to create his own shot all game, but he was particularly effective in the first half where he put up 15 points. He used his ball handling skills and quick moves to get deep under the rim, then elevate over everyone else to shoot. He had two slam dunks on the night.

James Talley wasn’t taking any chances.
The spirited Howard basketball coach knows how tough it is to beat the same team three times in the same season, so he spent most of the day on Saturday reminding his Hustlin’ Tigers about that fact and that they needed to stay focused on the job at hand.
Talley’s message must have hit home because Howard was able to beat the Red Bank Lions for the third time, Saturday’s final at Henry Bowles Gymnasium by a 59-51 margin.
