Senior Ajay Mathews scored 16 straight Marlboro points in the final 3:30 regulation plus overtime before senior Rob Glorioso hit the game-winning three-pointer with 30 seconds left, capping a Mustangs (18-4) win over the Rebels (18-5) in an overtime classic.
Matthews led Marlboro with 22 points, which included a game-tying three-pointer with eight seconds left in the fourth that sent the game into overtime. Mathews made six field goals in the final 7:30 of the game and all six tied the game, which included one three-point play that tied the game on the made free throw.
Junior Jayson Parker led Howell with a game-high 27 points, but it was senior Cayden Parker and junior Noah Musto who carried the Rebels within the brink of their first ever trip to the semifinals with their fourth-quarter scoring. Cayden Parker scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth quarter while Musto also scored nine in the fourth, including 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.
Musto converted a three-point play to give Howell a 52-49 lead with 2:58 left, then hit six more free throws in a row. The first four of those free throws gave Howell a two-point lead and the final two made it 58-55 with 26.9 seconds left before Mathews came down and buried the game-winning three from college distance at the top of the key.

Jayson Parker opened overtime with a floater in the lane, followed by a game-tying fadeaway by Mathews. Cayden Parker propelled Howell back into the lead with a three-pointer, but Mathews countered with a contested three-pointer from the left wing.
Marlboro made the stop on the other end and on the deciding possession, junior Nolan Gong missed an initial shot, but junior Dylan McEwan kept the play alive and senior Drew Lubeck kicked the ball to the corner for Glorioso, who drilled the go-ahead shot. Cayden Parker got off a three-pointer from the corner in the waning seconds that missed the mark.
Rob Glorioso barely hit the rim on his only other three-point attempt of the game but this one is on the money with 30 seconds left. Marlboro gets the stop and beats Howell 68-65 in overtime to reach the SCT semis for the 1st time in 4 years. pic.twitter.com/wMBVtKxtb1

(2) Wall 41, (7) Manasquan 39
Senior Jake DeBrito scored 10 points and contributed to a shutdown defensive effort in the final minutes that carried the Crimson Knights (19-1) to a win over the Warriors (12-9) that sends them to the SCT semifinals Wednesday at Brookdale Community College.
Both teams went scoreless over the final three-plus minutes over just four possessions, the last two of which lasted a combined 20 seconds. Manasquan had a chance to tie the game or take the lead with a three, but Wall forced a turnover with 20 seconds left. Wall drained the clock to under six seconds, but turned the ball over on an inbound play, giving Manasquan the ball back with 4.9 seconds left.
Manasquan attempted to advance the ball, but passed its inbound pass into the backcourt before calling timeout, leaving the Warriors three-quarters of the court to cover with 4.1 seconds left. Wall gave a foul with 3.2 seconds left and on the final attempt, sophomore Kennedy Larned’s desperation heave missed the mark.
DeBrito’s key sequence came at the end of the first half, which he closed by hitting a three-pointer, then following up a miss with an acrobatic tip-in just before the halftime buzzer. The putback gave him eight points at halftime and his team a 23-22 lead on Manasquan at the break.
Seniors Liam Killea and Dan Hennessy each added seven points and senior Brian McKenna scored all six of his points in the second half. Manasquan cut a 35-27 deficit late in the third to 35-34 by its second possession of the fourth, but Wall answered with a putback by junior Navin Tu, two free throws by Hennessy, and a runner by McKenna — the last of which gave Wall a 41-36 lead.
Senior Jack O’Reilly and sophomore Luke Winn each scored 10 points lead Manasquan, with O’Reilly also grabbing 10 rebounds and Winn scoring seven of his points in the second half. Sophomore Sean Bilodeau also pitched in eight points for Manasquan.

Biasi went 6-for-6 from the line during that stretch.
