The Blue Devils started things in the first quarter, scoring the games opening 4 points. The Warriors responded with a 10-2 run to take their first lead of the game but couldn't separate from the Blue Devils, as the two teams were locked at 16, ending the first quarter. The second quarter unfolded in a similar fashion to the first. The Blue Devils took a 6-point lead, but the defensive effort from the Warriors didn't allow them to stretch that lead, and Tech got back in the game, taking a 30-28 lead into the halftime break. Out of the break, the Warriors upped the defensive intensity while their offense found its rhythm, leading to the Orange and Black outscoring the Blue Devils 22-11 in the third quarter to extend their lead. The Warriors kept their intensity in the final quarter as they outscored Lawrence Tech 26-14 on their way to securing the 78-53 win.
