A slow second quarter led to a Carmel lead of 31-22 at the half. Langford had 12 at the break while Carmel's Sterling Brown had 10 points for the Greyhounds.

The Bulldogs took the first four points of the second half. After a steal and dunk by freshman standout Julien Hunter, the lead was just 31-28. This along with an Isaac Hibbert three a few plays later had the game tied at 33. Carmel led 44-42 at the end of the 3^rd  quarter.

The 4^th quarter was very exciting with many momentum swings. With three minutes left Carmel held onto a 50-48 lead. New Albany tied the game at 50 with 2:16 seconds left. Carmel came out of a timeout in a 2-3 zone and New Albany decided to hold for the final shot. Langford missed a deep three-pointer at the buzzer to send the game to overtime at 50-50.

Overtime started sloppily for both teams. John Michael Mulloy played well down the stretch for Carmel getting offensive rebounds leading to put backs and fouls. Down 52-50, New Albany’s first point of overtime came with 29.1 seconds left. A Romeo Langford drive and hoop plus the foul took the lead for the bulldogs. After a missed front end of a one and one, Langford sank two more free throws to seal the deal.
