The game had stretches in which both teams swapped turnovers or rushed shots, but in a game that was tight most of the way, Tindley's production on the offensive glass finally won the night.

  • Tech's Gabe McQuay and Tindley's Antonio Robinson attack the rim the entire game.  Robinson score a lot of his in transition, and he was also active on the offensive glass.
    • McQuay got off to a slow start, but he finally got going and hit difficult shots in the half court.  
  • Tindley's size and strength advantage played havoc on Tech.  Alluded to above, they created numerous second chance opportunities.  Some of it was due to Jayden Pinkston and Aaron Humphrey being a presence around the rim, but it was also Tech scrambling, allowing Pinkston and Robinson to sneak in.
  • Pinkston and Tech's Matt Spears was a battle to watch.  Right now, Pinkston is most effective getting to the rim, and he was bothered by Spears' length.  As effective as Spears was around the rim defensively, he was alone in that regard.
    • Pinkston's motor is endless.  He was just around the basket a lot, and Spears couldn't get them all.
  • In a game full of athletes, Tech's Parnell Lanier really stood out.  OK...Tindley's Pinkston does too, but Lanier is lightening fast with outstanding body control.  The evening started out wanting to get a closer look at McQuay, and while McQuay got going, Lanier was outstanding, especially in the first half.
