 Eckerd jumped out to a 6-2 lead before Rollins went on a 9-0 run. A Sergey Grishaev jam at the 15:13 mark of the opening half gave Rollins an 11-6 advantage. The Tritons scored the next two baskets before Long gave the Tars a three point lead (13-10.) A pair of Kimble free throws would make it 16-15 Eckerd before Potter hit a jumper to make it 17-16 in favor of the visitor at the 10:18 mark of the first half. A 9-0 run by the Tritons powered by a pair of Willard 3-pointer's gave the home team a 25-17 lead with 7:15 in the first half. After Potter made a basket a 3-ball by Garard made it a nine point lead (28-19) for the Tritons. A Potter 3-pointer at the 3:43 mark of the first half cut the Tritons lead to three (31-28.) Long made a jumper at the 2:01 mark of the half to make it 33-32 EC. The Tritons would finish the half on a 7-0 run to take a 40-32 lead into the locker room. Rollins shot 43.75 percent from the field, 1-7 (14.3 percent) from the 3-point line and 75 percent (3-4) from the free throw line in the opening stanza.

 The Tritons stretched the lead to 11 in the opening minute of the second half when Braxton Barnhizer knocked down a triple for Rollins at the 18:35 mark. Garard answered with a 3-pointer but Barnhizer then converted a three-point play of his own. The Tritons all but put this one away with another run that made it 57-38 with 14:17 on the clock. Rollins was within 14 (66-52) after a Marion triple with 11:01 to go. The lead would swell to 23 (78-55) after a Willard 3-pointer at the 8:15 mark. Rollins went on a 10-0 run capped by a Potter 3-ball at the 6:13 but that is as close as they would get until the final 67 seconds of this one.
