Ryan Thompson's running layup brought Rider to within two with 9:48 left. 

Frank Hassell got to the line on the ensuing possession for ODU and made one of two free-throws. 

Next, Harris Mansell hit a deep 3 from the right wing to tie it at 17 with 9:06 left and cause some in the crowd to groan in frustration.  

On the Broncs' next possession, Gerald Lee fouled Jason Thompson missed the front end of a one-and-one, but the Monarchs turned the ball over and Mansell's layup gave the Broncs their first lead with 8:01 left in the half. 

But Henderson hit a 3 from the left wing and Lee and Henderson scored on back-t0-back possessions to put the Monarchs back on top by five.
