Oshkosh opened the second half on a 6-2 run to take a 28-20 lead with about 18 minutes 30 seconds remaining in the game. St. Norbert answered with its huge 36-2 run over the next 14 minutes to take command of the game, leading 56-30 with 4:22 to go. The Green Knights were white-hot in the second half, making 18 of 26 field-goal attempts (69.2 percent), and were 5-for-6 (83.3 percent) on 3-pointers.
