A big come-from-behind win over Hingham (62-61) on Thursday night has the Dragons on a roll as they get ready for post-season play. The momentum from that win carried over to Sunday night when Duxbury cruised to a 72-55 win over Oliver Ames in the first round of the IAABO Tournament at Bridgewater State College.

Oliver Ames (11-6) is rated as the #9 team in the Boston Globe’s South rankings, while the Dragons (14-4) don’t even draw a mention. After Sunday night’s win, Duxbury might now get some notice.

The Dragons had  a definite height advantage on the Tigers, and the officials took note early, as they whistled Aaron Kramer for two fouls in the first minute and a half, oblivious to the fact that the 6’7” center was quite taller than his defenders.

It wasn’t just Kramer who was the subject of the officials’ wrath, but all the Dragons took the abuse, as Duxbury was hit with 10 fouls in the first quarter, while OA was assessed one.

Despite being saddled with early fouls, the Dragons actually led until the Tigers went on a 7-0 run to take a 13-8 lead.

Junior forward Connor Kindregan came off the bench and contributed immediately, scoring five points in the final three minutes and combining with senior C.J. Cote to narrow the gap to 17-15 at the end of the first quarter.

OA’s running game had been giving Duxbury fits, but it started to slow down midway through the second quarter when the Dragon defense took over and controlled the boards. A Kindregan basket with four minutes left in the half turned the game around, as the Dragons were off and running the rest of the night.

Seven points by Brian Grossman in the final three minutes seemed to take the Tigers out of their game, as Duxbury went to the locker room with a 35-30 halftime lead.

Duxbury opened the second half with a 10-5 run, fueled in large part by Kramer’s seven points and tight defense inside.

OA crept to within six at 47-41 with two minutes left in the third quarter, but Billy Curley and Kramer produced a 6-0 run for a 12-point lead with eight minutes to go.

Ethan Miller got the deficit below double digits when he opened the final quarter with three points, but a 6-0 Duxbury run put it back to 59-45 with just over four minutes remaining.

Kramer would control the boards the rest of the way, putting him at the foul line on three occasions for seven points and a 68-53 lead with 1:46 to go.

The senior had a big night for the Dragons with 22 points, while Grossman (15) and Curley (12) were also instrumental in the win.
