The game remained close through the first half of the second quarter. Wahoo led just 17-15 with 4:00 minutes remaining when they went on a 17-0 run. Greg Milliken had 15 of his game high 20 points in the second quarter. Wahoo led 34-17 at halftime.

In addition to Milliken's 20 points, he also had 9 boards, 6 assists and 6 steals.
"Greg played a great game today. The scoring is nice, but it is great to see him fill up the stat sheet with rebounding, steals, and assists. We were a little sluggish in the first quarter and a half, but we played really well from that point on. Our full court pressure really caused them a lot of problems and forced them into a lot of turnovers. It was good to see us respond well after a really tough loss last night to Christian," said Head Coach Kevin Scheef.
Wahoo will next be on the road at Syracuse on January 8.
