A Jonathan Roper (Murfreesboro, TN) three with 17:29 remaining cut the defecit to eight, and after a missed three on the other end, junior Walter Brock (Brooklyn, NY) went to the line and knocked down two to make it a six point game. SIU was unable to get a stop, however, as Eric Dummermuth broke free for a layup to put the Falcons back up by eight with with 16:48 showing. A Kenneth McCornell (Cleveland, OH) layup and made three on consecutive possessions to even up the score, 57-57, with 15:45 on the clock. A Falcon turnover and foul gave Brock the opportunity to give the Tigers their first lead since the opening minute of the contest.
