A three pointer by Miguel Arnold opened scoring for Augusta. The Hurricanes sunk two threes of their own to take an early 2 point lead. After a jumper from Phillip Burwell, Darren Lucas-White was fouled making a layup. The 'and one' bucket cut the Hurricane lead to one. A dunk from Tyshaun Crawford with 8 minutes left in the half gave Augusta its largest lead (20-14) of the half. The Hurricanes were persistent, tying the game right before halftime.
 
The first half proved to be a low-scoring affair for both teams. After being tied at 28, the Jags would get off to a hot start in the second half, mounting a 12-2 run to open up a 10 point lead four minutes into the period.
 
A three-pointer from Tyree Myers with 9:10 left to play re-established the double figure lead for AU. The Jags led by as many as 13 before the home team mounted a furious comeback in the final five minutes of the game. A three pointer from Lars Nilsen sparked a 10-0 Hurricane run. Augusta was able to survive the offensive onslaught, capturing a 66-60 victory.
