America East Tourney

1st Round: (1) Hartford 77, (8) UMBC 64

Braxton and Herbst combine for 42 points as the Hawks build a 16 point halftime lead and coast to victory. They struggled from range (5 of 21), but were sharp otherwise (.534 from the field) and forced 19 turnovers.

Semifinals: (1) Hartford 79, (4) New Hampshire 62

Once again, Hartford really struggles from range (4 for 19), a potentially troubling pattern. However, they get another great performance from Herbst (18-9-5) and take an early double digit lead, which they easily hold.

Conference Championship: (1) Hartford 76, (7) Stony Brook 43

Hartford is gifted a really bad opponent in the conference final and they don't have a letdown. In fact, they're up by so much that they're able to rest starters and let the end of the bench get playing time. 14 players see court action as Hartford easily takes the conference tourney.
