The Griffins got off to a fast start thanks to the three pointer.  SHU hit three three pointers to take a 13-7 lead with 13:55 to play.  The Davis brothers along with Damjan Sredanovic hit three pointers.  Five straight points from Nathan Davis extended the Griffins lead to 20-12 at the under 12 media timeout.  Noah Davis followed with seven points in row of his own to push the Griffins lead to 27-14 with 8:45 to go in the half.  The Mountain Cats answered right back with a 12-0 run of their own on four three pointers to trim the Griffins lead to 27-26 with 7:06 to go as SHU called their first timeout. 
 
UPJ tied the game at 27 with a free throw but the Griffins built their lead back to three at 33-30 with 3:26 left to play in the half. UPJ hit back to back threes to take a 40-39 lead before Nathan Davis drained a three from near half court at the buzzer to give the Griffins a 42-40 halftime lead. 
 
Both teams got off to a slow start in the second half with UPJ holding a 4-2 advantage in the first four minutes, tying the score at 44.  The Griffins then got hot from the field to take a 58-46 lead with just over ten minutes to play in the half.  UPJ battled back to cut the lead to 62-55 with 7:46 to play in the game. 
 
The Griffins turned it over on back to back possessions allowing the Mountain Cats to cut the lead to 67-64 with 3:47 to play.  The Mountain Cats cut the lead to 67-66 with 1:55 to play on a layin.  Nathan Davis hit a three pointer late in the shot clock to give SHU a 70-66 lead with 33 seconds left.  UPJ answered with a layup to cut the lead to 70-68 with 21 seconds left.  Trevor Lecuona then hit two free throws with 18 seconds to go to extend the lead to 72-68 and the Griffins got a defensive stop to put the game away.
