HOW IT HAPPENED
Trevecca came out firing, hitting three early triples to take an 11-9 lead but the Bisons weathered the storm and Ahsan Asadullah finished a tough shot at the rim to tie things at 11 each.
The Bisons struggled to score, going on a nearly three-minute scoring drought, but Ognacevic got around multiple defenders and got Lipscomb back on the board. After a defensive stand, Ognacevic converted on the other end for four-straight to tie the game 15-15.
Over the next 3:26, the Bisons went on an 11-0 run, capped off by a
Trae Benham three-pointer to push out to a 22-15 lead.
Lipscomb's defense continued to stifle the Trojans as the run continued and saw the Bisons get out to a 30-15 lead (19-0 run) before allowing another bucket.
The Bisons outscored Trevecca 22-11 over the last six minutes of the first half to take a 33-22 lead into the halftime locker room.
Lipscomb opened the second half on a 13-6 run with Asadullah heating up and scoring six of Lipscomb's points during the run.
The Bisons' lead really extended with a 9-0 run for a 55-28 lead with 13:51 to play in the second half.
The Bisons continued to fire on all cylinders and
Grant Asman came off the bench and nailed three quick triples to give Lipscomb a 66-38 lead with eight to play.
