The Rangers regained their balance after the media break, grabbing a 29-24 lead on an 8-0 run. USI and UW-Parkside traded buckets and free throws in the final minutes before the Rangers took a 33-28 leads into the intermission.

Eagles' junior forward Orlando Rutledge(Louisville, Kentucky) would get the final bucket of the game to pull the deficit back under double-digits, 77-68, with a three-point field goal.
Midway through the second half and down by eight, 56-48, the Eagles fell short in their best chance to steal the momentum from the Rangers. USI senior guard Travis Jones(Carmi, Illinois) started the final run with back-to-back three-point field goals to get the Eagles within four, 58-54, while junior guard Lawrence Thomas(Springfield, Illinois) cut the deficit to two points, 58-56, with 9:50 to play. The two-point margin would be as close as USI would come in final nine minutes as UW-Parkside used a 7-0 run to pull away.
Overall, the Eagles committed 18 turnovers as a team, which the Rangers converted to 24 points. UW-Parkside also outscored USI in the paint, 38-28.
