Tigers took complete control of the first quarter with UCD playing no defense and the home team led 31-13 at the end of the first. In the second quarter Ucd staged a big comeback and cut the lead down further to seven points at the third buzzer, 76-69, owing mainly to play from Kevin Foley and Conor Meany. It was an exciting final quarter and with 3 minutes left to play UCD trailed by just 5 points. Then it went horribly wrong as they found themselves in foul trouble and three key players were fouled out. As a result Tigers were shooting free-throws and their last nine points of the game came from the line and they took the victory on a score line of 97-90. Kieran Donaghy was not available due to international rules. However, he was cut from Saturday night’s game and had he been advised sooner he could have worn his basketball jersey on Saturday night instead.
