West Point held a 10-9 lead early, but then scoring became a problem for the Cowtippers. Howells reeled off a 21-4 run that included a five-minute scoreless streak for West Point. A 3-pointer by Andrew Faltys gave Howells a 30-14 lead with 5:52 to go in the first half.

The Hoosier lead peaked at 51-26 when Luke Hegemann opened the second half with four straight points. Hegemann led Howells with 23 points in the game.

The lead hovered around 20 points until the Copwtippers mounted a run with just under 11 minutes left. West Point scored 12 unanswered points, with Jeremy Yosten hitting a 3-pointer and Matt Lueshen scoring 6 points during the scoring spree. The 12-0 run got West Point to within shouting distance, trailing 60-50 with 8:32 remaining.

Hegemann restarted the Howells offense with a post move, sparking the Hoosiers' own 10-0 run, pushing the lead back to 20 with just under five minutes to go. From there, Howells brought home a 78-59 win.
