With TAMIU down by 10 at the half, they continued to strive for the comeback and make the Rattlers' lead minimal. TAMIU saw an opening with 13 minutes to go, when Alston made a 3-pointer and a layup back-to-back, making the score 39-44 - trimming the lead to five. Though, the Rattlers came back strong and took away with a greater lead.

In the second half, the Dustdevils recorded a better shooting percentage than the Rattlers - 68.4% from the field, and 50.0% from 3-point range. Though, the Dustdevils got into foul trouble, putting St. Mary's in the double bonus early on in that half. The Rattlers kept an average 10-point edge on the Dustdevils throughout the remainder of the game, ending the game with a final score of 73-61.
