  • The Wildcats chipped away to within five three times over the final four and a half minutes of the first half, but Prevost beat the buzzer for a 32-25 advantage entering the locker room
  • After WilmU got as close as four one final time on a 3-pointer to open the third, Kokolus tallied the Tigers' final six points in a 13-1 stretch that made it a double-digit cushion for good
