Brendan Reedy was the sixth man and a valuable one, as he scored 2 points to help extend the lead. He called for a timeout at a critical point in the game.

Frankie Lao and Alex Lopes continued where they left off last year with a tenacious defense that has been a vital part of Corpus Christi's game plan.
