Back-and-forth play continued out of the half until a pair of 3-pointers from Hayes extended the BHSU lead to 54-46. The Mountain Lions started heating up from there, pulling to within one possession several times as the game ticked into its final minutes.

BHSU started to separate again with Scott layups and a big three by Caelin Hearne with 3:46 to play to make it an 81-70 game. Down the stretch, another trey from Hayes along with some final free throws sealed the 92-77 victory.
