JTHe Conqs would put together a 12-3 run over the final six minutes of the first half and tie the game up at 36-36 heading into halftime. The second half would be tight throughout and the Conqs snagged the lead at 65-62 with 7:15 remaining after a BJ Freeman three-pointer. In the final two minutes of action, the Conqs would hold multiple six-point leads but led just 79-77 with twenty seconds remaining and the Conqs would secure the game on Themus Fulks two free-throws and a Kalen Williams dunk to the exclamation point to win 83-77.
