Bosse continued to dictate the game as their quickness was just too much for Tri-West to deal with. Tri-West grabbed a bunch of rebounds but the outside and transition game of Bosse was just too much for Tri-West. Tri-West got it as close as 6 points in the third quarter but could not overcome that gap as it fell to 12 with five minutes left in the final quarter.
Tri-West produced some magic as they then went on a 19-3 run over a three minute span to take a 54-50 lead with two minutes left. The game went to two overtimes but Tri-West could not overcome losing two starters to fouls and Bosse moved on 74-71
