Norchad Omier added 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Hurricanes, who won despite being held to a season low in points. Wooga Poplar had 15 points. Darnell Brodie had 20 points and nine rebounds to lead the Missouri Valley Conference tournament champions. The Bulldogs were scoreless over the final 3:24.
