As a team, the Cowboys were dominant from the floor as they shot 58% from the field and outrebounded the Privateers 41-25, including a 28-19 clip on the defensive end of the court. They did, however, shoot a paltry 58% from the free throw line, including missing the first eight shots from the charity stripe to start the second half.
Just a few minutes before Marsh sunk the second of two free throws to give the Pokes their first made free throw of the second half with just 7:38 left in the game, a layup by freshman Brandon Garrison started a 24-3 run over the course of six minutes, putting the Pokes up 87-61.
