Jamestown will travel to Presentation (S.D.) College on Tuesday for an 8 p.m. tipoff.
The Jimmies opened up a 20-7 lead after a Will Cordes (FR/Shakopee, MN) basket at the 12:49 mark, but the Blue Hawks would get within nine points just under four minutes later. John Argue (SO/Houston, TX) gave UJ its biggest lead of the half with a basket to make it 46-28.
