Ohio Wesleyan had opened the game with a 10-0 run that included 3-pointers by senior post Nick Carlson (Dublin/Coffman) and freshman guard Henry Hinkle (Powell/Olentangy Liberty) and a pair of hoops from Clement, and the Bishops led by as many as 12 points, that coming on a Clement 3-pointer that made it 17-5 less than 5 minutes into the game.

Oberlin's Dimitrije Radusinovic hit a 3-pointer to start a 7-0 Yeomen run, and the hosts closed to within 35-31 on a Wolf Moser jumper late in the first half.  Moser connected from long range twice during the opening minutes of the second half to even the game at 41.

A pair of Moser free throws tied the score at 69 with 4:19 remaining, and the teams traded points twice before a pair of free throws from junior post Grant Spicer (Cincinnati/Lakota East) gave the Bishops a 75-73 advantage with 2:39 to go, but Oberlin answered as Dorde Otasevic split a pair of free throws with 1:53 left, and Darien Knowles hit a jumper at the 1:11 mark to put the Yeomen ahead, 76-75.

Spicer then hit a lay-in for a 77-76 Bishop lead with :46 to go, setting up the final seconds of play.
