Unfortunately for the Wildcats, that opening period was their best scoring quarter until a crucial fourth quarter run that brought the game closer. The Wildcats did not get enough stops in the final frame to truly take advantage of their offensive boost, and Weimar went on to fall in a 46-41 defeat.

Their two-point lead did not survive a push by Schulenburg in the second quarter. The Shorthorns scored 15 points in the second to create a five-point lead going into the halftime break. They extended it to nine points to end the third quarter as they once again played some strong defense against Weimar. Weimar responded with a a big effort in the fourth to try to cut into the lead. They scored 15 points, but they allowed Schulenburg to score into double digits as well as they never got close enough to truly threaten taking the lead from their opponents.
