While the entire game was a back-and-forth battle, AU played much of the game without standout Ja'Queze Kirby. After picking up three fouls early in the first half, the junior forward was forced to stay on the bench and remained scoreless. Playing without an important piece of their offense,

Augusta could never take the lead and carry the momentum.

Four different Jaguars were in double-figures. PBC All-Conference selection Demitri Gardner scored 19 points, including three triples. Freshman John St. Germain III had 16 rebounds and 8 assists while senior David Viti had 15 points and 6 rebounds. Maximillian Amadasun had 12 points and matched Viti's 6 rebounds.
