There were three ties and nine lead changes the rest of the half. BC would take the lead for good as Ky Bowman connected on a 3-pointer as time expired, giving the Eagles a 41-38 advantage at the break.
BC connected on 8-of-11 to start the half racing out to a 21-3 start to the second half. Bowman had 12 points during the run, capped by a Jordan Chatman dunk and Robinson 3-pointer, making it 62-42 with 14:47 left in regulation. A Chatman 3-pointer with 7:38 to go gave the Eagles their largest lead of the game - 24 points - at 74-50.
