It would be 31-27 in favor of PBA at halftime after a Dayton Gunn dunk pulled the Tars within four. 

 A Yenor jumper and a Will Erickson 3-pointer would give Rollins the lead with 18:52 to go. The Tars led by four (38-34) after a Gumm bucket but a 16-0 surge by the Sailfish capped by Alexander Gorton basket made it 50-38 with 12:38 left. A Potter 3-pointer at the 7:45 mark would cap a 12-3 Tars surge to make it 53-50 with 7:45 on the clock.  The next seven points would go the way of the Sailfish to get the lead back to double digits after a Will Lee 3-pointer at the 6:27 mark. Marion would hit a pair of Rollins 3-ball's to get to within five (63-58) 3:43 to go but that is close as they would get. The Tars would get to within six one more time with 23 seconds and again at 10 seconds but the Sailfish closed it out at home.
