In the final 10 minutes, the Bengals methodically clawed back starting with a 13-4 run to get within 69-66 with 5:50 to play. A jumper by Radford gave the Lumberjacks a 71-66 advantage with five minutes and 30 seconds remaining, but Northern Arizona missed six of its final seven shots down the stretch. "When we start to get towards the top (of the standings), every team is going to play their best game against you and the only way to go is down when you're towards the top," Payne said. "Right now we need to figure out how to have a little more composure. We needed our starting five to close it out and nobody really stepped up to get the job done and that's what has won us games in the past."
