Luu-Brown added a bucket from behind the arc as Miami led 27-16, before a 7-2 GSU run cut the deficit, 29-23 with four minutes left in the half. Miami answered with a 7-0 run in a 75 second span to go up 36-23 and led 39-26 at the half.
- Miami opened the second half on a 9-2, pushing their lead to 20, 48-28, capped by a Tretter triple. Several times the Panthers climbed to within 15, but Miami closed the quarter, outscoring GSU 7-2 and led 62-41 entering the fourth.
- Maddy Huhn's triple made it 69-48, matching Miami's largest lead of the afternoon. GSU would never get closer than 17 points in the Miami win.
