After scoring a total of 34 points over the first three quarters of play, Greylock came up just one point short of matching that total with its offensive explosion in the fourth. Sophomore guard Tyrell Thomas scored 13 of his game-high 19 points in the fourth, while junior teammate Hank Barrett was a perfect 6 for 6 from the free-throw line in the frame.
