• Mabry hit his second triple of the game not soon after, but UVI led 14-12 with 13:33 on the clock.
• Marko Radulovic entered the contest along with Perkins, and the two combined for a 9-0 KU run. The spurt was started by two three-pointers from Radulovic, then capped by a basket and the foul from Perkins in transition to make it 21-14 KU with 12:18 left in the half.  
• With KU leading 26-24, the hosts began a 6-0 run to go in front 30-26. UVI's run however was halted by five consecutive points from Mabry, who hit his third three-pointer of the game and tipped in a miss to put KU back in front, 31-30, with 4:55 remaining.
• The teams went back-and-forth and were unable to gain any separation from one another, until KU turned a one-point deficit into a 42-38 Seahawk lead with a 5-0 spurt, capped off by Mabry's fourth triple of the game.
• After two UVI free-throws, Mabry continued his prolific first half with an emphatic dunk to go along with a foul, and he sank the free-throw to put KU in front 45-40 with 41 seconds to go.
• UVI had the final points of the half with a made jumper, but the Seahawks held the 45-42 lead at the break, led by Mabry's 21 points.

• A three-pointer drew UVI to within two points of the Seahawks, 56-54, with 15 minutes remaining, but back-to-back threes from Radulovic and Perkins with a UVI basket in between pushed KU back up by six, 62-56 with 14:17 to play.
• UVI answered with a three-pointer of their own to get back within a single possession, but Keiser's proceeding 8-0 run gave the Seahawks their first double-digit lead at 70-59, a run capped by a Perkins trifecta.at the 12:15 mark.
• Just as UVI got back to within a single-digit deficit at 72-63, the Seahawks widened their advantage with a game-changing 12-0 run to build a 84-63 lead with 6:44 to play. Keiser's defense clamped down and held the Buccaneers scoreless for 4:24, forcing four turnovers as well to get out in transition.
• The closest the Buccaneers would get from that point forward would be 14 points. With Keiser leading 87-73 with 3:42 left to play, the next nine points went to the Seahawks to establish their largest lead of the game, 96-73 with 2:03 on the clock.
• With KU leading 98-77, Marko Orlic earned a steal and dunk on the other end with 33 seconds remaining to bring Keiser to 100 points.
