The Wolves came out with some fast shooting as Devin Milton hit his first shot of the game, a three, for the early lead. The Wolves rode that momentum to 10-2 early advantage, capped by a three-point play by Alijah Ellis. Keuka continued to push the host Gators. A three by Mason VanDeMortel gave the Green and Gold a 21-4 lead just over six minutes into the contest. Sage settled into the game but was unable to cut the margin to single digits. A 7-0 spurt by the Wolves pushed the lead to 20 with 4:34 left in the first. Amar Jackson found Ezeke Pulliam for a late layup to extend the advantage to 23, but Russell Sage hit a three at the buzzer to make it a 20-point lead for the Wolves, 43-23, at halftime.
