The Cobras started the game well and eventually grabbed a 23-15 lead with six minutes left in the first period. But at that point, Javois took over the game and Coker went into a long offensive dry spell. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound Javois scored eight straight points to tie the contest at 23-23. Following a pair of free throws by sophomore Abram Ludd, Anderson tied the game and never trailed again.

The Cobras trailed 60-42 with 4:50 to play but finally found their stroke again. Coker outscored Anderson 22-9 the rest of the way, using a full-court press to create some turnovers and also taking advantage of the visitors' poor foul shooting. Anderson converted only 5-12 free throws in the final minutes of the game. Coker suffered a season-low nine turnovers, but Anderson dominated the boards, 42-20.
