Austin, Texas - The Eagles wrapped up their final road trip of the season in a tale of two halves, in a game where the Eagles and Hilltoppers combined to score as many points in the first half as they each (almost) did in the second half.
 
Antonio Gordon had another big game in the points column and opened the game where he's spent most of the last two games, at the free throw line. Gordon scored 11 of the Eagles' first 17 points, giving them a 17-14 lead at the under-12 media timeout.
 
Out of the timeout, the defenses settled in, and both teams held each other to a total of nine points over the next eight minutes. Drew Tennial got on the board with 3:49 remaining in the half and gave the Eagles a 23-19 lead. But the Hilltoppers responded with an 11-3 run to close out the half and took a 30-26 lead into halftime.
 
Gordon led the Eagles in the first half with 13 points and 3 rebounds, Tennial added 5 points and 4 rebounds.
 
In the second half, Oklahoma Christian and St. Edward's offense's exploded, as the two teams combined to score 117 points in the second half.
 
With 14:22 remaining in the game, the Hilltoppers took a 13-point lead, before OC rattled off 8 quick points to cut the lead to 7 at 53-46 with 12:28 to go. But as the half went on, SEU gained a double-digit lead and held on to win 94-79.
