The Tigers would go on to lead by as many as 12 points (41-29) in the quarter and finished the half with a 42-32 advantage.

* The Golden Falcons scored the first basket of the fourth quarter two minutes in to make the score 57-47.  From there, the Tigers put the game away with 15-1 run over the next four minutes to grab a 24-point advantage.  Freshman Moe Moore (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) capped the run with a three-pointer to make the score 72-48.
