HOW IT HAPPENED
Parkside opened the game on a 7-0 run, including five points from redshirt-sophomore Brandon Hau. The teams battled for the first 10:00 until the Rangers were able to create some separation after a Judson layup made it 12-10 with 10:42 to play. Parkside pushed the lead to double-figures on a Brandon Trimble layup and quickly made it a 20-point advantage. The Rangers took a 39-19 lead into the half.
 
In the second half, Parkside held on to the advantage and kept it above 20 points for much of the half. After having four dunks in the first half, Parkside followed that with three dunks in the second half and never let Judson back into the game.
 
A LOOK AT THE BOX SCORE
Hau continued his hot start to the season with 19 points on 9-of-12 shooting to go along with eight rebounds. Trimble finished with 18 points and five rebounds while freshman Solomon Oraegbu and Joey St. Pierre each had 12 points. Oraegbu had four steals and four assists while Ramar Evans led the way with five assists.
 
The Rangers shot 49.2% from the floor but struggled from beyond the arc, going 3-of-21. They held Judson to 35.6% from the floor and 0-of-12 from 3-point range. Judson won the rebounding battle 41-36, but Parkside was +7 in the turnover battle.
