Vermilion extended their lead to 12 at 64-52, but the Golden Rams staged an impressive comeback to take the lead 77-76 on a backdoor layup by Jamar Franks with 12 seconds remaining. Vermilion elected to not call a timeout and hit a runner in the lane with 4.8 seconds remaining to regain the lead 78-77.
After a couple timeouts, the Golden Rams had one final chance, but were unable to get a shot up, even though they got the ball within five feet of the basket.
