Cal State San Bernardino bench outscored Lander bench 27-11 in a game the Coyotes controlled from beginning to end.
Stomach punch loss at Harding. With 5 minutes to play in the game, Harding led 53-49. Game had been close throughout. Harding box-and-one had held I-Word's leading scorer D Swick to 6 points. C Michel picked up the slack by having 12 points. The backcourt combo would score the remaining points for I Word in regulation and OT. Swick hit 2 3's in the final minute, the 2nd with 4 seconds left to send the game in OT. Harding would score the 1st 6 points of OT, then Michel and Swick scored the final 7. Swick a 3 with 40 seconds left and Michel a drive to the bucket with 2 seconds left. Harding missed halfcourt shot at buzzer.
In what was a close game at Pfeiffer quickly became a blowout. With just over 15 minutes to play in the 2nd half, A Weiland knocked in a 3 for Hillsdale to go up 7. Immediately afterward, Pfeiffer starting PG S Snively picked up his 4th foul on an illegal screen and had to sit. Then it became the BGW show. Birch, Guerrette, & Weiland guided Hillsdale to 23 point win.
