However, the Loggers ran out of steam and began falling behind. Open threes and easy transition buckets allowed Kaskaskia to hold a lead as high as a 19 points on their way to the 92-77 victory. 

The Loggers ended with three players in double digits led by freshman Nic Hagel who put in a team high 21. Sophomore Logan Clayton had 18 and freshman Mitch Hardiek, despite being limited to 15 minutes due to foul trouble, ended with 14.
