Drew Middleton (19), Malikih Gillum (17), and DJ Middleton (13) all scored double-digit points in this fast-paced game.

Diego Sanchez had six straight points for the Knights in the second half to swing the momentum our way. Evan Deleon was crucial in a few important defensive stops, giving the Knights the final edge. Spurgeon had the most fans in the gym of any of the schools apart from the host institution. Fans traveled over 6 hours to support their team, and the team put on a performance that had everyone off their feet for the entire game.
