The Friars nearly led wire-to-wire, but the Lions mounted a late comeback, taking a 41-40 lead on a three-pointer with one minute remaining. Jeremiah Williams responded with a strong drive to the basket, drawing a foul and heading to the free-throw line. Williams made the first free throw to tie the game at 41 but missed the second. Fortunately, Ishmael Muhammad came up with a crucial offensive rebound, giving the Friars another possession. That extra chance led to Day's game-winning three-pointer.

Day led Bishop Lynch with 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. Williams added 10 points, while Muhammad made his presence felt with seven points and six rebounds.
