The game started out close in a high-scoring battle. OKWU led 43-to-40 with two minutes left in the first half and they took off on an 11-to-3 run before the break. Breiman Alexander started his outside barrage knocking down a trio of three-pointers in that stretch.
With an eleven-point lead at the break the Eagles would shoot out of a cannon in the second half. OKWU would go on a 16-to-5 run to start second half to advance the lead past twenty points.
Alexander would continue to dominate as he hit nine three-pointers on the way to a season-high 34 points. Isaac Rowe played phenomenally as well scoring 21 points, adding on 11 rebounds and seven assists. Elbert Lawrence and K.J. Malveau were also in double figures.
