How it Happened

An Alex Calloway jumper followed by a layup from Zayne Browning off an Isaiah Taylor pass put the Wolves up 4-0 to open the game.  That would be the biggest lead of the game for the Wolves, as Corban tied things up at 6-6 quickly.  Corban went on a 14-4 run over the next 5 minutes and opened up a lead the Wolves would not be able to close.  Walla Walla struggle with turnovers in the first half and Corban shot over 50% from the field despite shooting 3-14 from the three-point line.  The Wolves opened the second half on a 17-6, topped off by a three-pointer by Isaiah Taylor, which put the Wolves within 13 points.  Toby Roth's three-pointer slowed the bleeding for the Warriors, and over the next 15 minutes, the Warriors made 10 more three-pointers as they steadily grew the lead over Walla Walla.  Corban went on to beat the Wolves 108-72.
