The game was deadlocked at 40-all when regulation play ended and the young Tigers were missing four starters. But they scored seven in overtime while holding the Red Devils to only two points.

Vincent Wilkerson led the scoring for W-W with an impressive performance of 29 points. Other Tigers who scored included Chris Jackson (5 pts.), Darius Jackson (4), Christian Keiser (2), Jonquise Graves (2), and Andrew Miller (2).
