Game Changer
-The first half of play belonged to the Bisons of Harding as they would show signs on dominance early on, jumping out to a 40-23 lead at the half. Northwestern came storming back in the second half of play however as the Rangers were able to go on multiple runs in the third quarter to close the gap against HU to only 58-56.
-The fourth and final quarter of play brought just as much action as the previous with the black-and-red riding their second half momentum.
-Despite continuing their hot streak entering the fourth quarter and holding small leads at several points in the fourth, Harding was able to find a way to come out on top as they knocked down free throws in the closing seconds to claim the victory over Northwestern, 80-77.
