HSU grabbed the game's momentum at the end of the quarter with 3-pointers from Snowden and Mains to take a 26-20 lead into the second.

2nd Quarter

The Reddies hit four more 3-pointers in the second quarter and finished the first half 9-of-16 from downtown which helped build a 47-29 advantage at the half.

4th Quarter
Northwestern Oklahoma State made one final push at the beginning of the fourth quarter with an 11-5 run that cut Henderson's lead to 70-58 with 7:06 to go.
