Successive dunks from Josh Winowiecki and Keith Jordan Jr. set SHU on to an 11-2 run, tying the game at 26-26 with 4:49 on the clock. The score went back and forth, until a Nick Randle three-pointer with 1:29 to give the Saints a three-point lead. Randle sank another three as time expired, giving SHU a 41-35 halftime lead.

A flurry of triples helped the Saints to a 14-point lead with 17:21 on the clock. The Blue Devils' Ty'rese Searles managed a jumper, but it wasn't enough to slow down SHU. Siena Heights kept a comfortable lead for the remainder of the game, finishing with a strong, 85-61, 24-point win.
