The third quarter was the best for VHS as Jadarius Henderson and Kris Washington both came out knocking down 3-pointers. Jaquez Marshall came alive inside the paint to get on the board. The Gators scored 28 points alone in the third quarter and SD only put up 13.

Mincer Minor IV and Washington helped put the game away with 3-pointers as a running clock was enforced.
