• The game was tied twice and the lead changed hands twice early in the first half. RIC held an early 9-5 lead after a Dahl 3-pointer less than five minutes into the game.
• Brandeis scored the game's next 10 points – five each from Harris and Adusei – and the Judges neve trailed again.
• The lead would balloon to 17 points late in the first half as the Judges shot 61% from the field (19-31) and from 3-point range (8-13), while limiting RIC to 47% overall (14-30) and 30% from deep (3-10).
• The Anchormen would use pressure and some missed Brandeis free throw opportunities to close within five points late in the contest, but it was too little, too late.
