What Happened
The game was tied at 15-15 before Bobby Harvey sank a 3-pointer to push the Saints ahead. Zach Colletta sank a jumper in the lane for a 20-15 lead at the 9:22 mark. The Panthers scored eight straight until Casey Teson's bucket made the score 23-22. Drury pushed its edge back to eight but a bucket by Joens and a Chaz Glotta 3-pointer brought the Saints to within 30-27. Jones scored at the end of the half to cut the Drury lead down to 33-29.
 
Colletta's three-point play inched the Saints to within 35-32 but Drury answered back for a 40-32 advantage. Glotta drilled a 3-pointer until the Panthers grabbed a double-digit lead at 45-35. The Saints again closed the gap to 52-46 at the 12:31 mark on a Jones triple. However, Drury scored seven straight to take control.
