Pitt.-Greensburg jumped out to a 14-2 lead before sophomore Jacob Divens notched his first three of the game with 14:28 to play. Freshman Clay Rokisky followed with a layup to cut the Bobcat lead in half, 14-7, a minute later. The two teams traded their next baskets, the Bobcats with a layup while Thomas Rush hit a three-pointer to pull the Barons to within six, 16-10, with 12:57 to go.
