After Lewis' second turnover, Toney knocked down two free throws for an 80-74 lead with 30 seconds to play. The Saints forced a missed shot by Lewis, and Armon Provo sealed the win by converting two more from the free-throw line. Darrin Young Jr.'s free throw provided the final margin.
 
In regulation, the Saints were down by one before Young made two free throws for a 57-56 lead with just under two minutes to play. Neither team scored again until Jamel Johnson hit one free throw with 30 ticks left for a 58-56 Maryville lead. The Flyers forced overtime when Julian Lewis sank two free throws with 4.6 seconds left.
 
In the first extra session, the Saints built up a 66-61 lead in the final minute on a Young layup. The Flyers tied the game on a tip before Provo hit one free throw for a 67-63 lead. Lewis received two free throws by Nick Vallla and tied the game on a layup by Ryan Jackson. Toney gave the Saints a 69-67 lead with 22 seconds left, but Gabe Williams scored a tough layup in the lane to force the second overtime.
