Box Score OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The Arcadia University men's basketball team tied the game with under 30 seconds left in the second half, but host Stevenson University had the answer with under one-second on the clock as the Mustangs pulled out an 80-78 Commonwealth Conference victory Saturday.
 
Stevenson, which is receiving votes in the current D3Hoops.com poll, improved to 13-4 overall and 8-2 in conference play with the win, while the Knights fell to 6-11 overall and 1-8 in conference play.
 
Arcadia trailed by 10 after junior forward Justin Kuntz (Bronx, N.Y.) made a layup as he was fouled and sank the free throw that followed to give the Mustangs a 76-66 lead with 3:52 to go in the game. The Knights then went on a 12-2- run to tie the score at 78 on sophomore forward Alex Cohen's (Ridgewood, N.J.) layup with 28 seconds left on the clock.
 
Stevenson called their second time out in a 10-second with three seconds to go to draw up a play and Alfonzo Hawkins knocked down the game-winning jumper with just 0.7 on the game clock to give the Mustangs the victory.
 
Arcadia then called a timeout to try and setup a play, but Kuntz stole the ball to end any hopes of Knights tying the game.
