These intense moments persisted until the final quarter, with YU even managing to turn the game around twice, causing KU players to struggle under pressure to score. However, Park Mubin's exceptional dribbling skills and three-point shooting provided stability to the KU team, ultimately resulting in a 64 to 60 victory for KU.
