SPRINGFIELD, Missouri- The Patriots faced off against the Fightin' Indians of Haskell University for the second time this season with much the same outcome. The first half was a back-and-forth struggle as both squads held numerous, small leads. The largest lead for Haskell in the first half came at 3-0 on the opening possession. BBC held their largest lead in the first half for about the last minute at four points, as the team led 40-36 at intermission. As the second half began Haskell took the lead early, but once again the two teams traded the lead several times. Finally, with about five minutes remaining in the contest the Patriots made a push to take the lead for good. Timely, accurate passing for easy scores, then good free throw shooting down the stretch, allowed the Patriots to stretch the lead to as many as 15 points just before the final horn as they prevailed 87-73. In the contest, the score was tied 13 times and there were 15 lead changes.
