Doane's largest lead of the game was 11 points, hit twice in the game. With 8:09 to play in the game, Guy Moran hit a 3-point basket to give the Tigers a 69-58 lead. Moran would hit five 3-point baskets in the game and finished with a career-high 17 points.

Joining Moran in double figures were Cooper Sheldon and Nick Saiz with 15 points apiece. Sheldon posted his second straight double-double as he led the way with 10 rebounds. Brady Timm had a team-high seven assists with Sheldon adding six.
