The Majors got the gap down to single digits with 9:22 remaining in the game thanks to a Kyle Kinnear layup to put the score at 49-41. After trading baskets for a couple of possessions, the Majors went on a 15-4 run capped by a Taylor Meades three that tied the score at 60 and a free throw from Meades on the next trip down the court to give Millsaps a one-point, 61-60, lead with 3:31 to play.

Successful shooting at the foul line put the Pirates momentarily on top, 64-61 with 54 seconds remaining in regulation when Nick Cortese drained a long three to knot the game at 64 as time expired.
