After a 15-7 third-quarter run, Newman held a 37-30 lead entering the fourthquarter.

“We came out with a lot of energy, and we also started getting our posts more touches because they were on this game and the shooters weren’t, so just turning up the intensity and getting the big guys the ball,” Britt said of Newman’sthird-quartersurge.
