Tony Menton led the Blue Raiders (4-4, 0-2) with 16 points, followed by Anthony Crenshaw with 15 and D'on Hall with 14. Tyrie Orosco collected 10 rebounds in the loss.

Lindsey Wilson extended its lead early in the second half, jumping ahead by as many as nine, but Life began to apply pressure and seized control for the remainder of the game. Menton was able to trim the lead to 78-73 with a basket at the 3:47 mark, but the Blue Raiders wouldn't get any closer.

Latraius Mosley recorded a 34-point, 11 rebound double-double to pace the Running Eagles (6-4). Caleb Hayes contributed 19 points while Philip Jenkins scored 17.
