For starters, Steve Brown was a starting player this time, which proved to be a great asset for the Wolverines. Also, we got the first two points of this contest. And it was several trips up and down the court before the CEU team got on the scoreboard. But, our defense wasn't impenetrable and the Eagles soon got up and took the lead by a slim two points with consecutive baskets. Griffith put the Tech back in the lead with a well executed three point play. It then settled into the old familiar game of back and forth scoring. !

Going into the last stretch it was tied at 73 all with four minutes left. Midgley scored, he then was fouled and put in two free throws. Cook got into the action with a beautiful three point play. For CEU's team, Ohlson put up two field goals, and the Wolverine's lead dwindled to a tight three points. And that's the way it ended.
