HOW IT HAPPENED

The Eagles, however responded with a pair of baskets and extended its lead back out 9-2 at the 16:00 mark of the first half.

AJ McGinnis got going from range with a three-pointer, cutting the lead back to three, but Tennessee Tech held a 12-7 advantage at the first media timeout.

Lipscomb went on a 6-0 run out of the timeout, taking its first lead of the night, 13-12 with just over 10 minutes left to play in the first frame.
