Oakland rallied with 47 second-half points, closing the gap after trailing by seven at halftime. Despite a strong performance, including 10 three-pointers and 20 fast-break points, Oakland was unable to overcome the Titans’ advantage at the free-throw line from drawn fouls.<\/p>\n Tuburu Naivalurua<\/a> led the team with 24 points, converting 9 of 12 shots from the field and adding two 3-pointers.

Naivalurua contributed significantly with timely baskets, including a key 3-pointer to level the score early on. Despite consistent contributions from Oakland’s bench, turnovers became a challenge, allowing the Titans to capitalize and build a lead.<\/p>\n In the latter half of the period, White’s two 3-pointers and Robinson’s fastbreak layup helped Oakland keep the score competitive. However, the Titans maintained their edge through efficient shooting and converted free throws. The half ended with Oakland trailing 49-42, as Warren Marshall IV<\/a> closed with a three-point play, narrowing the gap slightly going into the next half.<\/p>\n Oakland utilized a strong offensive push midway through the second half, highlighted by a sequence of 3-pointers and fast breaks. White and Robinson each connected from beyond the arc, sparking a scoring surge that brought the score to 62\u201361 in favor of the home team at 14:24. The home team’s defense, led by Garrett’s crucial block, helped maintain momentum during this stretch.<\/p>\n Despite the efforts, the Titans countered with consistent scoring, including a pivotal 3-pointer and free throws in the final minutes. The visitors managed to extend their lead late, ultimately closing the half ahead at 95\u201389.<\/p>\n How to Follow Oakland Men’s Basketball: For complete information on Oakland Men’s Basketball, follow the team on X at @OaklandMBB<\/a> and head coach Greg Kampe<\/a> at @KampeOU<\/a>.
