January 26, 1982 — Marian scores the first 16 points of the game, but needs to hold off a late Jim Thorpe rally to gain a 66-61 victory. Jim Carrigan tallies eight of his game-high 22 points during the opening run. The Colts use a 9-0 spurt at the end of the third frame, with Larry Grega accounting for five of those points, to open up a 22-point advantage. Thorpe cuts the gap to five in the final frame, but Carrigan hits three key free throws to seal the victory. Grega ends with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Steve Agosti adds eight points and 13 boards.
