James Nichols hit a point-blank shot as time expired to lift the Lions (4-1) over the Warriors (4-3) in the third-place game. It was McClellan's only lead. Hall hit 6 of its first 7 shots from the floor and led 34-17 midway through the first half, but McClellan chipped away. Ian Robinson led the Lions with 17 points, and all nine of his rebounds came in the second half. Nichols added 15 points, and Eric Woods accounted for 10 points. Hall post player Kevon Cooper scored a game-high 22 points while grabbing 10 rebounds. Senior guard Greg Johnson scored 11 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and handed out 4 assists. Leading 64-63 with 8.3 seconds left, Hall's Cameron Dismuke was sent to the free-throw line for two shots. He missed both, and Robinson controlled the rebound. Driving down the middle of the court, Robinson found Nichols open under the basket for the game-winning shot. Hall, which was 15 of 23 from the line, missed 3 of its final 4 free-throw attempts. The Warriors were 25 of 40 from the field, but only 11 of 22 in the second half. McClellan was 17 of 43 from the floor, 6 of 16 from three-point range and 17 of 23 from the free-throw line.
