- Nesbitt scored 11 of the first 15 points for Saint Louis, helping his team to an early 19-11 lead.
- A 9-0 Billiken run extended the Saint Louis lead to 28-13 before Josh Nickelberry cut the margin with a pair of free throws with just over 10 minutes remaining in the half.
- After trailing by as many as 18, the Explorers looked to Jack Clark to help climb back into the game. Clark scored eight straight for La Salle and the Explorers trailed by 13 after a Nickelberry triple.
