Gordon and Mateus Maccieri traded baskets to make it 31-27 at the 2:24 to play. Curran had the final say of the half with back-to-back jumpers, including a buzzer-beater in the paint, to give Hopkins a 35-27 lead at the half.
• Sophomore Daniel Vila opened the second-half scoring with a three-pointer, followed by a Gardner 15-footer to push the Blue Jays' lead to 13. The Bullets answered with seven straight points to cut the deficit to six.
