So far, there hasn't been any dropoff for the Bearkats defensively.

The Islanders have only hit 4-of-10 from the field in the second half and haven't made a bucket in more than four minutes.

For the Bearkats, it's been a different story. The Kats have hit 44 percent in the second half, including 3-of-6 from three-point range.

From playing so well on both ends of the court, the Kats are out to their biggest lead of the night at 57-39 with a little more than four minutes to play in the game.
