Hamilton got out to a 10-7 lead thanks to a great pass from New Mexico signee Nathen Garth to Cameron Clear. Quick trigger senior Don Woods knocked down a 3 soon after giving Coach Lawson confirmation about what he had heard about the shooter. Yo-Yo Gai made a nice move in the post to make the score 20-16 with 1:00 remaining in the 1st quarter with McGavock leading. Hamilton leading scorer Denario Robertson got involved in the second quarter including a nice pass to Tony Driver for a lay up and hitting a 3 as Hamilton looked to take some control. Woods as he did all night, kept his team around when he scored on lay up himself and ended the 1st half on a tie score, 36-36. Hamilton’s defense began to show itself as they forced McGavock into several turnovers in the 4th quarter. Shaun Thompson of Hamilton scored on a finger roll for a 1 point Hamilton lead with 5:30 left in the quarter. Once again, Woods would be there for his team with a jumper that puts McGavock back up 58-56. In a somewhat weird sequence, the Bulldogs stole the ball from the Wildcats but just as they were about to get the 2 on a open lay up, the coach called a timeout making the Bulldogs wonder why. They would get fouled following the timeout but only make 1 of two free throws. Garth would be fouled with 18 seconds left in the game and be sent to the line. The 6’1 senior would make 1 and send the game into overtime, 66-66 after a mad scramble ending to 4th.
