In the first four minutes of the second half the home team made a 16-4 run to stretch the lead to 26 with 16 minutes to play. The Bobcats are never quick team though, and they battled hardt to cut the lead to nine with seven minutes to go. This would be as close as it would get as the Knights were able to run away with a 94 to 74 victory.
"The depth of our team has been and will continue to be a strength of ours", coach added. "We have a lot of guys that game really fill it up on any given night, and everyone supports each other through the good and the bad. It's great to see."
