Dominique Daniels scored 35 points, but could not get one last shot to fall with about six seconds remaining, as the San Bernardino Valley College men's basketball team lost to East Los Angeles College 76-75 in the semifinals of the Alvin Hunter Classic semifinal game Saturday night.

Daniels drove the basket, and had his floater hit the back of the iron. The Wolverines' Chine Nwaneva appeared to pull down the rebound and tried to put a shot back up, but the Wolverines' were called for a foul, sending Gregory Melvin to the line with just under three seconds remaining. He missed his free throw, but the Wolverines couldn't get control of the ball to get a desperation shot off at the end.

For the second night in a row, the Wolverines started slowly, as ELAC opened a 6-0 lead in the opening minutes, but the Wolverines picked up the pace, going on a 17-4 run to open up its largest lead at 31-18 with about six minutes left. But ELAC chipped away and led 34-31 at the break. SBVC retook the lead in the second half after an 8-0 run, but the Huskies hung close. ELAC closed the game on a 6-1 run to pick up the win.

The back-and-forth game featured 10 lead changes and five ties. But with the Wolverines having two players in foul trouble, the Huskies dominated play in the paint, outscoring the Wolverines 48-22 inside.

Daniels led all scorers, going 12-for-20 from the field, including 7-of-12 from three-point range. Armon Muldrew added 20 points, and Aamari Smith had 11.

Four of ELAC's five starters finished in double figures, with Gregory Melvin leading the Huskies with 17 points.
