The Men's Bobcats team fresh off of a win the previous night against CCBC-Catonsville matched up against the host CCBC-Dundalk Lions. Edward Gordon started the Bobcats off with an assist to Jaleel Ferguson. The Bobcats were able to use their size and length advantage to get out to an early 8-2 lead in the first 2 and a half minutes of play and force a Dundalk timeout. The Lions were able to use their great 3 point shooting ability to keep the game close as the Bobcats led 27-26 with 7:25 remaining in the first half. The high paced, up and down style of play made for an exciting first half of basketball with both teams having their moments. A fast break dunk by Jaron Burnell ended the half and the Bobcats led 40-35 at intermission.

The Bobcats were able to carry the momentum from the dunk that ended the first half to go on a 9-3 run to open the second half of play. They led 49-38 with 16 and a half minutes remaining after a layup from Romello Anderson caused Dundalk to call a timeout. Dundalk was able to keep the game within 10 points over the next 5 minutes of play with 3 point shooting as the Bobcats led 57-47 with 12 minutes remaining. With 8 minutes to go the Bobcats led 62-52 extended the lead to 18 points in a little over a minute with an 8-0 run led by Kreighton Lambert who hit two 3 pointers.
