OBU pushed to lead back out to 36-31, but SNU again garnered momentum and used a 12-2 run that was capped by a White 3-pointer, that gave SNU at 39-38 lead, and four straight free throws by White as the Storm contolled the pace at 43-38 with 8:23 remaining.

The Bison went to their top scorer on the next possession as Emmanuel Wilson fired a three from the right side and it found the bottom of the net along with a whistle and eventually a four point play as OBU took the lead for good.

OBU didn't lead by more than seven the rest of the way, but match SNU nearly shot for shot down the stretch.

The Crimson Storm will now get set to host Saint Gregory's, Saturday, at 5 p.m. in a rematch of a game that the Cavaliers took one away from SNU in Shawnee.
