Following a Findlay bucket, junior Joel Ndondo (Ajax, Ont.) scored and junior Clark Bishop (Detroit, Mich. / Renaissance) went coast-to-coast after grabbing a defensive rebound for a 15-8 advantage.

UF ended the first half on a 29-9 run to lead 37-24 at halftime.  Wayne State made just two field goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half.

In the first five minutes of the second half, Findlay continued its scoring onslaught with an 18-7 spurt to lead 55-31 at the 14:55 mark.
