Stockton (19-7) had a 74-67 lead with 5:09 remaining but Rowan wouldn't fold. The Profs pulled within 74-72 at 4:19 and a three-pointer at 2:36 by Eriq Campbell gave Stockton a 78-72 cushion.

Okebiorun's dunk with 1:03 remaining pulled the Profs within, 78-75, but a jumper by EJ Spratley-Matthews at :22 was the shot Stockton need to secure the win.

Stockton led for the majority of the first half and ran up an 11-point lead, 43-32. A three from Williams and a pair of free throws by Mikey Robinson, Jr., cut Rowan's deficit to 47-44 at halftime.

Rowan was hitting from the perimeter in the first half, making 6-of-11 three-pointers, but struggled in the second half, going just 1-for-12.
