After the Argos (14-8, 4-4 GSC) jumped to a quick 6-0 lead, the Bucs (16-3, 7-1) answered with a 20-6 run, extending their lead to 20-12 when Harry Green (Memphis, Tenn./White Station HS) found Cory McArthy (St. Louis, Mo./Christian Brothers College HS) for a fastbreak layup.  While the Bucs never trailed again, they were unable to extend their lead past eight points until the second half.

After a Marquis Mathis layup pulled the Argos within 44-39 with 16:08 remaining, the Bucs went on a big second-half run that has become a trademark for this team.  After a Zack Warner (St. Louis, Mo./Clayton HS) free throw, back-to-back layups from Green and Warner gave them their first double-digit lead of the game.  By the time back-to-back threes from Scott Dennis (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore HS) and Green capped the 18-4 run, the Bucs led 62-43 with 10:20 remaining.  The Bucs extended their lead to as many as 23 points at 76-53 before the Argos closed within the final margin of 13 points in the final minute.
