CUC continued to hang around with a three by Jarek Hotwagner and four straight points by Dosie. The Cougars continued their run out of a Falcon timeout with a Louis Fernando layup and another pair of Dosie brought CUC within one, before it would be Hoffman again giving CUC a 33-32 lead on a pair of bonus free-throws. The teams continued to exchange blows over the next few minutes, before CUW closed the half on a 17-0 run over the final 2:53 to take a 61-41 lead into the locker room.
