The WolfPack, lead by Kelly Calhoun's 17 points jumped out to a three point halftime lead and had a lead with five minutes remaining. The host Stormers capitalized on their 42-17 free throw attempt advantage and pulled away from the Pack' down the stretch.

In the first half, the WolfPack led by as much as nine points before ending the half with a 33-30 advantage. In the second half, Madison College was tied with Milwaukee with 5:25 left but never got the lead back after that point. Depsite outshooting the Stormers from the field (37 to 36 percent), beyond the arc (35 to 16 percent), taking care of the ball (11 to 15 turnovers) and dishing out more assists (11 to 3 assists) the WolfPack lost to the Milwaukee in two important categories, rebounding and free-throw shooting. The Stormers outshot the WolfPack, 20-9 from the free-throw line, getting a 42-17 advantage in free-throw attempts and outrebounded Madison College, 61-49, and that proved to be the difference. Madison College fell 73-71.
