HOW IT HAPPENED

• Hampton started quickly jumping out to a 14-4 lead at the first media timeout on a 3-point play by Fisher at the 15:56 mark.
• That lead grew to 28-12 on a 3-ball by Marrow at the 9:42 mark.  That 3-ball started a run of 12 straight points by Marrow topped by a layup in the paint for a 37-29 lead with 3:34 left. 
• A jumper by Noah Yates with 47 seconds left brought the Spiders to 41-37, but a pair of Fisher free throws with 25 seconds left put Hampton up 43-37 at the half.
• In the second half, a layup by Andre Gustavson kept the margin at six with a 45-39 Hampton lead at the 18:52 mark.  A layup by Lysander Bracy pushed the margin to 58-43 and capped a 13-4 run for the Pirates over a 3:41 span.
• Ricquall Smoot's layup off a Marrow feed at 9:40 gave Hampton its first 20-point advantage leading 70-49 with 9:40 left.  Fisher drained a 3-ball with just over three minutes left as Hampton took its largest lead at 84-57.
