• The first-half saw neither team able to open up more than a five-point lead and there were seven ties and four lead changes in the first 20 minutes of play as well.
• Draper scored the final three of his 13 first-half points on a three-pointer as time expired to send the teams to the intermission knotted at 41-41.
• The first 11 minutes of the second-half would feature more of the same as the teams tied four times and changed leads on three different occasions.
• With the score 64-62 Maroons, Roanoke used a 12-4 run that was capped by a Draper jumper that made the score 74-66 with 4:18 left to play in the ball game.
• Roanoke led 78-70 with 2:35 to play before the Tigers used four straight free-throws to cut the Maroon lead to 78-74 with 1:30 to go.
