The Patriots would have major control for most of the second half as they would build an advantage by as much as 13 over LCU. Being led by A.J. Luckey who had a game high 21 points on the afternoon, the Chaps would begin to gain ground against DBU and chip at the lead late. With :13 left in the game LCU would pull within one after a pair of Ridrell Hollman free throws, 67-66. The Patriots would answer back at the charity stripe after Shannon Lilly sank both to keep DBU ahead, 69-66. LCU's last chance was an attempt to complete an and-one, but was unable to score from the field only a lone free throw, as DBU held on for a 69-67 win.
