Niagara leads Marist 47-44 with 7:30 left in the game. 

Tommy Dempsey said during his postgame press conference that neither Ryan Thompson nor Justin Robinson will play in the semifinals tomorrow. 

That means close to 40 minutes at point guard for Matt Griffin and a likely start for Kam Warner along with Griffin, Harris Mansell, Mike Ringgold and Jason Thompson. 

Mansell, who injured his ankle in the first half, will be playing through intense pain.
