Latrell Love, Damian Young, and Kylan Phillips scored 11 points apiece to lead Mississippi Valley State (0-2).

The Delta Devils had a 43-29 halftime lead, and stretched it 53-44. The Falcons used an 11-1 run to take a 55-54 lead with eight minutes left, and neither team led by more than a point the rest of the way.
