The home team, Jacksonville State Gamecocks, faced off against their conference rivals, the Kennesaw State Owls. Despite a valiant effort on their home court, the Gamecocks were unable to secure a win. The game began with both teams showing strong offensive skills but by the end of the first quarter, it was evident that Kennesaw State had taken an early lead with 19 points compared to Jacksonville's 15.
As play continued into the second quarter, Jacksonville managed to outscore Kennesaw by one point which slightly narrowed down their deficit.
