Andell Cumberbatch, who nearly put up double-doubles in the first half by scoring nine points and nine rebounds, started a Barton 6-0 run to get the Cougars out to a 15-9 lead seven minutes into the contest. The Cougars then went on a 13-2 run in part due to Turon Parker's fifteen first half points to open a lead that would increase to twenty-two before settling into a 44-25 halftime advantage.

After a 7-2 run to open the second half and increase the lead to twenty-four, the Cougars kept the Busters from getting any closer than sixteen points for much of the half. Back-to-back steal and lay-ups by Garden City's Chris Hall and Jade Cathey did draw the Busters to within thirteen with a minute to play but Parker and Algie Key made four free throws to seal the win.

Parker's eighteen points led the Cougar scoring with Cumberbatch and Key adding double-double performances. Cumberbatch grabbed sixteen rebounds to go along with fifteen points to record his seventh double-double in eleven conference games. Coming off Wednesday's thirty-point performance at Dodge, Key only scored ten points but dished out a game high six assists to go along with eleven rebounds to post his fourth double-double of the season.

Cathey led only two Broncbusters in double scoring with eighteen while also collecting a team high ten rebounds. Coming off the bench Hall scored fifteen coming on 6-of-15 shooting from field. Frank Agholor, who led the Busters in the team's first meeting with twenty-two points, finished with only three points but led the team with four assists.
