Despite foul trouble for three of their big men, including Williams, the Horned Frogs were able to increase their lead to 14 points after a 3-pointer by Fields with less than 14 minutes remaining. A triple from Anderson pushed the lead to 17 points with six minutes left and the Horned Frogs salted it away from the free-throw line, where they finished 18-of-29.
