Game Highlights

The Bronchos (20-6, 11-6 MIAA) scored the game’s first basket which would be their only lead of the game. The Tigers used a 9-1 run to go up eight and led by nine after the first quarter.

A 16-3 second quarter run pushed the lead to 18 but UCO closed on a 13-5 run to pull within ten at halftime. They got as close as seven early in the third before an 8-0 Tiger run pushed the lead back to double-figures where it stayed the rest of the game.

FHSU shot well all day, finishing at 49-percent and hit 8-of-19 threes. They also outrebounded the Bronchos by nine and outscored them 17-9 on second chance points.
