The Scots extended their lead to 16 points five minutes into the first half and continued to hold a lead over the Mustangs until the final two minutes of the contest. CBC worked its way back into the game and took a 60-59 lead with 1:50 remaining on a layup by Tyrone Alston.

Winston Peace came up clutch for the Scots in the final minute of the game from the charity stripe as the freshman knocked down 5-of-6 free throws to put Lyon ahead, 64-61. Anderson added another free throw with two seconds remaining as the Scots completed the upset victory.

Price finished with a game-high 23 points to lead the Scots, while Anderson and Daley also finished in double-digits scoring with 15 and 14 points, respectively.
