The first half woudl find the BlueWave down on 2 points to the host team, EFSC. 

The second half would be no different in play, as the two teams battled bucket for bucket. The game came down to the final seconds when FSCJ would hold possession of the ball out of bounds. A last second play would find the ball in Johnny Brown's hands for a tip in that would win the game at the buzzer 60-59.

Chris Clark led the BlueWave in scoring with 14 points, connecting with three made baskets from behind the arc. Jaderryus Eatmon and Johnny Brown both had 12 points. Evan Busby led the BlueWave in rebounds with 8, and Brown added an additionall 7 boards.
