It seemed as if the Royals were on their way to putting the Trojans away in the opening half after building a 23-9 lead at the midway point. However, Anderson's offense would come alive late in the period as the Trojans slowly ate away at Queens' lead.

The Royals opened the second half with a 10-6 spurt to lead 54-46 at 14:06, but Anderson's squad, who shot 61.5-percent in the period, would not go away. A jumper from Shawn Benard tied the game at 60-60 at 9:42, and a lay-up from Jeremy Bouton would give the Trojans a 62-60 lead just 18 seconds later. Anderson saw their largest lead of the night when Christian Jeffords was fouled shooting a triple and knocked down all three shots from the charity stripe. He put Anderson ahead 80-73 with 3:16 to play. Queens responded closing regulation with an 11-4 run to knot the game at 84-84 when the horn sounded. Camps scored the game-tying bucket on a lay-in.
 
Alexander gave the Royals an 88-86 lead in overtime after knocking down a jumper at 1:59. Following his bucket, Anderson tied the game up twice, the last coming when a three-pointer from Randall Shaw equalized things at 92-92 with 34 seconds to play. Alexander was then fouled during Queens' next offensive possession and sent to the line, where he secured the victory for the Royals.
 
Queens shot 50.8-percent from the floor and 42.1-percent from the three in tonight's win, while Anderson shot 53.6-percent from the floor and 45.8-percent from the three. The Royals outscored the Trojans, 42-24, in the paint, and converted Anderson's 17 turnovers into 23 points.
