The Wolves would take an early lead over the Panthers at 15-11 as Jahmr Jordan knocked down a three and Daniel Obunse (Queens, N.Y. / Flushing) made a put-back layup for the Wolves. The Panthers would respond, however, with 16 unanswered as they built a 27-15 lead. A three by Jordan Lewis (Houston, Texas / Home-Schooled) snapped the run midway through the first. The Would pulled the game back to five following a steal and layup by Milton, but Pitt.-Bradford reestablished control and led 52-40 at the half.
The first possession of the second half was a positive for the Green and Gold as Will Tehan (Victor, N.Y. / Victor) found Devin Milton for three. Minutes later, Milton brought the JMW Recreation and Athletics Center to its feet as he took the feed from Jahmr Jordan for an alley-oop in transition to cut the lead to single digits, 56-47, and force the Panthers into a timeout. Pitt.-Bradford pushed their lead back out to 14, but the Wolves did not go away. A three by Oteng cut the lead to six at 79-73 with 7:49 left. The Wolves narrowed it to five with 5:55 left to play again in transition. Devin Milton forced a steal and Jahmr Jordan drained the three to make it 83-78. The Panthers quickly scored five, however, and they would not lose control of the game. Pitt.-Bradford would see the game out and defeat the Wolves 106-85 on Friday.
