By the end of the quarter a layup by the Vikings extended their lead to 17-9. Another 17-point quarter by the Vikings in the second quarter helped Missouri Valley add to their lead as the game went to halftime with Baker trailing 34-20.

After Missouri Valley won the third quarter and took a 55-34 lead into the fourth quarter, the Wildcats battled throughout the fourth quarter but could not go on a run to mount a comeback as the Wildcats fell, 79-58.
