After going back and forth to open the game, back-to-back threes from Kirsch kicked off a 9-0 scoring run to put BHSU ahead 16-9 nearing the 14-minute mark. A Whitley 3-pointer followed by a Cisse layup would give the Yellow Jackets their first double-digit lead of the game at 29-18.

Later in the game, a John Shanklin layup put the Yellow Jackets up by 30 and would go on to lead by as much as 32 (87-55) on a PJ Hayes 3-pointer at 4:51.

From there, BHSU emptied the bench and saw points from Taylor Edwards and Ryker Cisarik, while Michael Russell tallied three rebounds and two assists in the final minutes to seal the game.
