With it being the first time we've competed in the tournament since I've been here, it will be exciting to have a chance to compete for a championship and a chance to go to the NCAA tournament."

After a Bernard Morena free throw to tie the game, Lipscomb continued their hot shooting making two three pointers to go up six.
