Like the women's game, the men didn't hit a 3 today. The Tigers went 0-of-11 from deep and the Lady Tigers were 0-of-12. It is the first time since the 3-point basket was implemented neither team didn't hit a 3 in a doubleheader.

CU was able to cut the lead to 14 points, 43-29, at the break after Adam Stanford made 1-of-2 free throws with zero seconds on the clock.
 
Pikeville out-scored CU 16-9 in the first six-plus minutes of the second half to take its first 20-point lead. UPIKE was able to push its lead to as large as 27 points, 73-46, with 8:41 left and the lead never got below 20 the rest of the way.
