Great game; tremendous matchup of two top 15 teams. Both teams did some good things - particularly defensively - but in the end, Dayvion McKnight was the difference-maker. Unofficially, 13 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks, 6 assists, 6 steals. If it wasn't for McKnight, Oldham winds up winning the rebounding battle pretty handily - instead, the two teams (unofficially) finish tied on the glass 28-28. Turnovers favored Collins (OC-13; Collins 6). Two teams playing intense, high-octane basketball. Great treat for the approximately 4,000 folks on hand. CM

layup by McKnight Collins 50-43 6:15 left timeout Oldham

Oldham successfully navigated most of the third without another foul on Wagner-Rose or Slone. They sat on the bench and the rest of the team battled mostly even. McKnight VERY active in all phases of the game. His passing was huge in the third.

end of 3 Collins 44-41

Worth the price of admission!
