Oakland (3-3) had a chance to either tie it or take the lead, but Max Hooper missed a 3-point attempt and the ball went out of bounds. The officials initially gave possession to Oakland, but after viewing the replay, gave the ball to Georgia. Percy Gibson's jumper gave the Golden Grizzlies an 18-9 lead, and after Frazier's layup cut the advantage to 18-11, Felder hit two free throws for a 20-11 lead. The Bulldogs then outscored Oakland 17-7 in the next four minutes to take a 28-27 lead.
