How It Happened
 
* Neither team held control of the game until the Tigers used a 7-0 run starting at the nine minute mark to grab the game's biggest lead at that point.  A tip-in basket by sophomore Terrell Jones (Ardmore, Pa./Lower Merion) made the score 24-16 with 7:25 to play in the first half.
 
* The Tigers would go on to lead by as many as nine points in the half on five separate occasions before settling on a 40-34 advantage heading into the locker rooms at halftime.
 
* In the second half Bloomsburg grabbed the lead for the first time since leading 11-10 at the 14:24 mark of the first half. Ironically the Huskies took the lead at the 14:23 mark of the second half when Nicholas King knocked down a jumper to make the score 46-44.
 
* The lead was short-lived as Holy Family recaptured the lead two possessions later after back-to-back baskets by senior Jalen Thompson (Wilmington, Del./Concord (Harford C.C.)) and freshman Dymir Montague (Philadelphia, Pa./Neumann-Goretti)
 
* Holy Family gradually began building its lead back up and by the 5:09 mark had a double-digit advantage for the first time in the game.  A three-pointer by freshman Kharon Randolph (Philadelphia, Pa./Haverford School) made the score 70-59.
