The Thorobreds built momentum in the second quarter, extending their lead to 35-22. Hayes

take control with a 12-0 run, fueled by four consecutive three pointers from Hayes. The
Thorobreds led 51-37 with just over three minutes left in the quarter.

Spring Hill made a late push, but Kentucky State held on by converting four of six free throws
