Marietta battled back on the road, narrowing the advantage in the second half of what would eventually come down to a two point game. In the contest, Marietta point guard phenom Daryl "Lil Majic" Dorsey (had 32 points, and 6 assists while shooting guard Anthony Wilkins, himself a member of the Atlanta Hawks to begin the 2005-2006 season, finished with 31.
