Nobles scored 18 first half points as the Jaguars turned an early 13-3 deficit into a 37-27 halftime lead. The 6-foot-5 sharpshooter stayed hot in the second half as the Jaguars led by double-digits over the final 18+ minutes of the game. Four Jaguars finished in double-figures as Stephen Thomas scored his 15 all in the second half and junior Alex Young handed out a career-high seven assists and scored 12 points. Junior Christian Siakam recorded his team-high fifth double-double of the year with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Freshman Donovan Gibbs also played 15 key minutes off the bench, grabbing a career-high seven boards and scoring five points.
