The Spartans completely closed the door with a huge 26-10 third quarter. They would go on to topple the Patriots 83-49. Brax Jensen led all scorers with 33 points going 5-11 from three (45%) and 11-17 (65%) from the field. He also recorded eight assists and five steals. Kyler Wilstead added 13 points, eight rebounds and five steals.
