The Southern New Hampshire University men's basketball team won the Northeast-10 Conference Final for the third time in program history, and first since 2016, thanks to a 75-60 victory over Southern Connecticut State University on Saturday afternoon. The No. 5-seeded Penmen (21-10) took down the No. 6-seeded Owls (22-10) in front of a packed Stan Spirou Field House, locking down the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division II postseason. Graduate Student Matt Becht (6'4''-G-1999) was selected as the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, averaging 22 points per game across the four postseason contests for SNHU. In the semifinals he had 33 points, six rebounds, three assists, and eight three pointers made to help SNHU defeat top-seeded Saint Michael's. On Saturday, he scored 15 points with six rebounds and two assists to help the Penmen to victory. Senior Preston Santos (6'7''-G/F) was also recognized on the conference's All-Tournament Team. Santos scored a team-best 20 points with nine rebounds, three blocks, and four steals. The 2024 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Selection Show is slated to air on Sunday, Mar. 10 at 11 p.m. on NCAA.com. The Penmen were ranked No. 3 in the latest iteration of the official East Region rankings, trailing Saint Michael's, who they defeated in the NE10 Semifinals, and St. Thomas Aquinas. HOW IT HAPPENED Southern New Hampshire held a two-point lead nearly 11-and-a-half minutes in when it ripped off a 15-4 run – with six from Becht and four from Derrick Grant (6'6''-F). – to open its largest lead of the first half at 27-14 with 5:34 remaining. Southern Connecticut countered with an 11-4 stretch to pull within 31-25 with 1:41 on the clock. SNHU would go into the locker room with a 33-27 advantage. The Penmen stormed out of the locker room with another 15-4 blitz – with seven from Santos and four from Kurtis Henderson (5'10''-PG) – to extend their lead to 48-31 a little more than five minutes into the second half. SCSU trimmed its deficit to 12 at the midway mark of the second stanza when SNHU netted nine straight – with five from Becht and four from senior Noah Kamba (6'1''-G-2000) – to seize its largest lead of the contest at 61-40 with 7:26 to play. The Owls scored 18 of the next 26 points to climb within 11 at 69-58 with a little over two minutes to go, but the Penmen made all four of their free throws to extend their lead late. Juniors Kurtis Henderson and Derrick Grant. joined Santos and Becht as double digit scorers. Henderson had 16 points six rebounds, and four assists. Grant Jr. added 13 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks.

SCSU also held a 72.2 percent to 71.4 percent edge from the line. The Penmen dominated the glass (45-29) and paint (38-18), scored more points off turnovers (16-4) and featured a slightly more impressive assist-to-turnover ratio (12/14-10/14).
