The Trojans took a 45-41 lead into the final period. D.J. Hill then made all eight of his fourth-quarter free throws, and teammate Aaron Jones made six of eight to keep Turner on top.

Hill and Jones led the way with 15 and 14 points, respectively, as Turner withstood Clinton’s 6-1 advantage in three-point goals. Jordan Conway also had 12 points for the Trojans, and A.J. Bernstein added 11.
