Through the first five minutes of the game, the Huskies held a marginal 14-11 lead after a triple by Luke Winkel.

Moving into the second half, SCSU continued to break the paint and get looks at the rim. The Huskies still could never break the game open until an and-one layup by Winkel served as a catalyst. The Ankeny, Iowa native finished inside again as Jamestown called a timeout as the lead was now 11 points. Out of the timeout, the Huskies got a stop which led to a layup by Lee Marks III. St. Cloud State stringed together another stop before Winkel blazed a three as the lead ballooned to 16 points. SCSU comfortably held a double-digit lead as they led 70-55 with 3:52 remaining in the game. Jamestown would make a late 9-0 run as the lead was down to six.
