The Troopers pulled ahead, gaining an 11-point lead with one minute left before halftime. They held the lead through the third quarter, but the Cougars charged back and brought the game to within three points nearing the end. Treyson Iglehart started the fourth quarter with a beautiful steal. The Troopers were still up by eight points halfway through the fourth.
