The game went back and forth throughout the second and third periods. Josh Dennison's hot hand helped the Cougars stay right with the Crusaders by hitting 5 shots, including one three, during the middle quarters.

At the start of the fourth quarter the Cougars were down by one. The final score of 70 to 60 was not indicative of the closeness of the game. During the game, Travis Lewis had five blocked shots and 7 defensive boards, while Cameron Wilson carried the offensive load with 4 assists and 18 points.
