• The three ball sparked MSOE (12-7, 10-2 NACC) early, hitting three of them to lead by double digits just five minutes in. A layup from Carson Cordelli gave the Raiders their largest lead of the half at 15-3 two possessions later but Wisconsin Lutheran (4-14, 2-9 NACC) cut it down to a two-point game with 5:18 to play in the first half. Mason Dopirak brought the three-point spark in the final minute of the first half to bolster the Raider lead back to double digits, leading 42-32 at the break.
• After Matus Dopirak hit one from deep to open the second half, the Warriors went on a 5-0 to cut it back down to a single-digit game. That would be the final time after Jonathan Burroughs connected from deep to make it 48-37. Building the lead up to a 20-point game with 7:44 to play, the Raiders were not done yet as they went on a 10-0 run capped with a Burroughs drive to the paint for their largest lead of the game, 86-56, with five minutes to play for the final touches.
