| Final - |
| Southern Illinois Salukis 61, Holy Cross Crusaders 51. |
| 2nd Half - 1:29 |
| This game looks like its the books folks unless a miracle happens as Holy Cross just commited a sloppy turnover. Salukis will probably be fouled so as long as they can hit their free throws they will be on their way. |
| 2nd Half - 2:00 |
| Salukis just trying to control the clock right now as they lead by nine. If they can just pace themselves they will be on their way to the second round of this NCAA tournament. |
| 2nd Half - 3:51 |
| This game may come down to a free throw battle as both the Salukis and Crusaders are in the double bonus. Both teams are in foul trouble and continue to drive the lane which means we may be seeing many free throws in the next few minutes. |
| 2nd Half - 7:48 |
| Salukis were trying to run away with again but this Holy Cross team won't go away. This has been the theme throughout this game. Neither team has been able to catch fire and runaway with the win. This game may indeed come down to the buzzer. |
