Postgame: Notre Dame | Fairmont State 

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jamel Morris drained nine three-pointers to lead Fairmont State to a 71-57 win over Notre Dame College in the quarterfinals of the Mountain East Conference Tournament. 

"I'm confident going into every game," Morris said. "With our inside presence with players like Thomas Wimbush and Nick Harney -- they're great scorers in the paint, so players and teams collapse on them and that gives shots for players like me and Chase (Morgan) and today it was working to our advantage."

"We got out to Morris, but he had nine threes -- the kid played great," Notre Dame head coach Tim Koenig said. "He played absolutely great."

Morris finished the game with 32 points to pace FSU (20-9). Thomas Wimbush scored 17 points and pulled down nine rebounds, and Nick Harney posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 boards.

"We thought the game would go exactly how it was played," FSU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said. "We held them to 57 points, so if we play defense like that and take care of the ball, we're really good."

NDC (15-14) was led by 15 points apiece from Tyree Gaiter and Lawrence DeArmond. Will Vorhees chipped in 10 points.

Morris drained nine of FSU's 10 threes in the game, while Notre Dame managed to shoot just 4-of-16 from behind the arc. 

Fairmont State led by nine at the break and pushed its lead to as many as 11 with just under 12 minutes to play. Notre Dame got back into the game with an 8-0 run in just two minutes, but Morris had the answer to stop the run with a three-pointer. NDC could get no closer than six the rest of the way.
