The late run led to an inspired beginning to the second half for UPike. After the teams traded layups to start the half, the Bears scored 13 of the next 14 points. Five Bears scored in the run, with Blevins having five.
 
But the highlight came with 17:51 to play when Worrix turned a steal into a layup to make him the 32^nd member of the school's 1,000-point club.
