The defending NAIA Division II champions built a 67-52 lead with 6:42 remaining before the 24th-ranked and league-leading Raiders (8-7, 5-2 Cascade) uncorked an 18-4 run over the next four minutes to pull within 71-70. The Raiders, however, did not take another shot until after the Owls (13-6, 5-2 Cascade) went on a back-breaking, seven-point spurt containing a deep 3-pointer by Andre Lawrence, two Michael Nunes free throws as a result of a technical foul on the SOU bench, and a long jumper by Levell Hesia with 1:26 left. The outcome snapped a four-game SOU win streak and spoiled a brilliant 31-point, 11-rebound performance by junior All-American forward Shea Washington. The Raiders also got a 19-point, nine-board effort by junior post Jeff Williams. Nunes (27 points) and Hesia (24) carried OIT, which defeated its rival for the eighth consecutive time at Miles Court since 2000. Advertisement Tech led 38-33 at halftime after Southern shot to an 11-7 lead.
