Five straight points from Gavin Toma (Troy, Mich. / Southfield Christian) put the Warriors on top 11-8 with 15:30 left before halftime. Toma's second three-pointer of the game gave WSU a 16-15 advantage with 13 minutes left in the first stanza. Chad Nelson followed with a layup to put the Panthers back on top by one.

Both teams went scoreless over the next two minutes before DeMarius Miller (Bolingbrook, Ill. / Romeoville) sunk two free throws to help WSU regain the lead, 18-17.

A 9-0 ODU run put the Panthers ahead 26-18 at the 8:49 mark.

Marcus Moore (Lansing, Mich. / Waverly) connected from behind the arc to cut the deficit to four with 2:25 remaining before the break.

At halftime, WSU trailed 39-33. Toma and Lewis paced the Warriors with eight points each while Nelson and DeLeon both scored 10 points for the Panthers.

The Warriors scored two quick buckets to pull within two, 41-39, at the 18-minute mark. Key tallied his seventh and eighth points of the half to keep the Green & Gold within two, 50-48, with 13:55 left to play.

DeLeon gave the Panthers a seven-point lead with a three-point play at the 12-minute mark.

Key continued to be WSU's go-to scorer as he collected back-to-back baskets to cut the home lead to three, 56-53. Clark Bishop (Detroit, Mich. / Renaissance) kept WSU trailing by three with two buckets and Toma followed with a jumper to trim the deficit to one, 64-63, with just under six minutes to play.

At the three-minute mark, Key matched his career-high of 16 points with a layup to pull within three, 70-67. The Panthers answered with two quick layups to extend their lead to seven points.

The Warriors went the final 2:55 without a field goal and made just one field goal over the final 4:50 as ODU pulled away for the 82-68 victory.
