Men's Basketball Pulls Out 66-65 Win Against Southern Connecticut

Penmen have won two straight

When and Where: February 7, 2026 – Manchester, N.H. (Stan Spirou Field House)
Score: Southern New Hampshire University 66, Southern Connecticut State University 65
Records: SNHU 10-12 (4-9 NE10), SCSU 9-12 (5-8 NE10)

Sophomore Jojo Wallace (Milford, Conn.) scored a game-high 21 points to help the Southern New Hampshire University men's basketball team get past Southern Connecticut State University, 66-65, Saturday at the Stan Spirou Field House.
KEY MOMENTS
  • SNHU led by three less than five minutes in when it extended its lead to what would be the largest of the game with an 18-6 burst that made it 27-12 with 9:12 remaining in the first half. Senior Ugo Nwachukwu (Imo State, Nigeria) and freshman Jamier Rose (Berwick, Maine) led the way with six and five points, respectively. Southern Connecticut countered with a 21-6 barrage that knotted the game at 33-all in the final seconds, but senior Ray Daniels (Las Vegas, Nev.) buried a deep 3-pointer just before the buzzer to send the Penmen to the locker room with a 36-33 edge.
  • The Penmen never trailed in a closely-contested second half. They gradually built a lead up to nine and were in front, 62-53, with just over two minutes left when Southern Connecticut used a 9-2 blitz to slash its deficit to 64-62 with 24 seconds to play. Senior T.J. Morris (Jamaica, N.Y.) hit both ends of a 1-and-1 with 20 seconds left to all but end it. The Owls would nail an inconsequential 3-pointer as time expired.
NOTES
  • Southern New Hampshire has now won back-to-back contests for the third time this season.
  • Wallace was 10-for-20 from the field, including 1-for-3 from long range, while making a pair of steals.
  • Morris registered 16 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3-FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and a pair of blocks.
  • Nwachukwu narrowly missed a double-double with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3-FG, 2-4 FT) and 12 boards.
  • SNHU leads the all-time series with SCSU, 60-28, has won eight of the last 12 and snaps a three-game skid versus the Owls. The Penmen have also won seven of the last eight at home in the series.
  • Wallace has scored in double figures in all 22 contests this season and continues to lead the NE10 in scoring (22.5 ppg). Wallace has now netted 20-plus points in nine straight and is averaging 24.2 ppg during the stretch, which includes four performances of 27 or more.
WHAT'S NEXT
  • The Penmen are back in action Tuesday, Feb. 10 (7:30 p.m.) when they take on cross-town rival Saint Anselm College.
  • SNHU returns home Saturday, Feb. 14 (3:30 p.m.) when it plays host to Adelphi University at the Stan Spirou Field House.
