After Siebert hit 1-of-2 free throws for an 80-73 lead with 20 seconds left, Brandon Barry connected on two free throws for the Blueboys. The Vikings then turned it over, and Spencer Campbell’s layup with 12 seconds left cut the lead to 80-77.

Siebert was fouled again and hit two free throws with eight seconds left for an 82-77 lead, but Campbell got a layup with five seconds remaining to cut the margin to 82-79. Lawrence inbounded the ball and was able to dribble out the final seconds for the win.
