HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Warhawks came out of the gate sluggish, falling behind 10-4 to the Buccaneers with 13:56 to go in the first half. 
- The Bucs went on to lead by at many as seven in the half, but after going up 18-13 over the Warhawks with 8:34 to go in the first AUM would crank things up a notch on offense and outscore CBU 17-2 over the final eight and half minutes to lead 30-20 at the break. 
- CBU scored the first four points of the second half to make it a 30-24 game with 18:45 left, but AUM would get back out to a double-digit lead by scoring the next five unanswered to go up 35-24 at the 16:15 mark. 
- The Warhawks took their largest lead of the game at the 13:19 mark after a Bell layup put AUM on top 41-28 with 13:19 to go. 
- The Bucs battled back over the next few minutes, however, with nine unanswered points to trim AUM's lead to just 41-37 with 9:52 left. 
- The Warhawk's lead over CBU swayed back-and-forth between two possessions and three possessions for the next several minutes, with the Warhawks holding a 60-54 lead over the Bucs with 1:46 left. 
- AUM extended their lead to six with 37 seconds left after a pair of free throws from Bozeman to go up 62-56, but the Bucs would go back down and sink a pair of free throws to make it a 62-58 game with 23 seconds to go. 
- After going up 63-58 on a 1-2 free throw trip from Davis with 18 seconds left, calamity ensued. The Buccaneers knocked down a three-point shot with nine seconds left on the ensuing possession to make it just a 63-61 lead for AUM and would knock down another three just five seconds later after stealing the Warhawk inbound pass to go up 64-63 with four seconds left. 
- This sequence of unfortunate events helped set the stage for D.Taylor's game-winner, however, as his deep three-point shot fell through the net as time expired to clinch the 66-64 win.
