I was at this game, which was nip-and-tuck throughout.

The first quarter was just ugly to watch. Both teams only hit 2 FG's the entire period, and ended with SV up 5-4. I was paying more attention to Valley, but they were jacking up WAY too many three's.

The second quarter was only a little better offensively. JC actually took the lead at 11-8, but Valley finished the period on a 7-0 run to lead 15-11 at the break.

Both teams then exploded (relatively speaking) in the third quarter. JC went on a 5-0 run to take their last lead of the game at 23-22, but SV outscored the Eagles 8-2 the rest of the period to take a 5 point lead into the fourth. A huge play occurred near the end of the quarter as JC attempted to hold for the last shot down by three, but SV stole the ball and made a layup just before the buzzer sounded. Potentially a 4-point swing right there.

JC opened the fourth by hitting a three to close the score to 30-28, then both teams went cold again for the next few minutes. Finally, a Wildcat 3-pointer with around 3 minutes left pushed the lead back to 5. JC scored again to trim the lead to 33-30, but the Eagles would not score after that. Valley made a great pass for a layup with about 2 minutes left, then some free throws down the stretch would ice the game.
