The next five minutes featured threes from Bell and Isaiah Payton and a pair of layups out of Hall and Hinson to tie the game at 17-17 with 9:33 on the clock.
 
Six straight points from Hinson and another Hall lay in put UC up six with 5 minutes to play. The next two trips down the court ended with Bell threes to stretch the lead to 10. The Tigers responded with a 11-6 run to end the half, but the Patriots still had the 39-35 lead heading into the locker room.
