Now with St. Edward and future Michigan State Spartan star Delvon Roe, St. Edward fought hard to have the game televised at their gym in Lakewood. Extra auxiliary lights helped brighten up the gym, which was otherwise too dark for ESPN cameras, but it was a night where stars shined. Forward Delvon Roe finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks. Despite a solid performance, his breakaway slam dunk sent the crowd into frenzy and won back the momentum for St. Edwards.
