Lincoln used a strong defensive effort and some easy baskets to race to a 37-24 halftime lead over Lewis & Clark, and held on in the second half  despite shooting just 36 percent from the floor. Coach B. J. McCullum said,  "We were out of sync in the second half.  In the first half, we forced some turnovers and got some easy layups; however, in the second half we didn't play with much energy and didn't force turnovers.   Right now our post play is almost nonexistent.   We are trying to play one-on-one basketball instead of team ball."
