-Arcadia held a 34-31 lead before a 8-0 run gave LVC the lead back at 39-34 with five minutes gone.

-The Knights faced a 58-45 deficit with seven minutes left in the game.

-Trailing 72-69 with 19 seconds left after an Okocha layup, Arcadia forced a turnover before the Flying Dutchmen could get across half court, but Okocha was only able to sink one-of-two free throws.
