Bigby was red hot in the opening half, pouring in 20 points — including five three-pointers. Mitchell added 13 points (with three triples), as the duo accounted for all but one SC basket in the half. Their effort led to a 33-30 Ocelot lead at the intermission. The rest of the SC offense got their blows in in the second half, led by Brown, Kirkland -^- and Mitchell, who scored 12 more (with two more threes) to give him a game-high 25 points. The Ocelots pulled away from St. Clair, outscoring the Skippers 46-28 over the final 20 minutes. Bigby finished with 22 points, Brown scored 11 (and grabbed 13 rebounds), and Kirkland had eight. Brian Williams had nine assists and just one turnover. SC totaled 12 threes in the game; St. Clair had six. Only two St, Clair CCC players reached double-figures in scoring: Jeremy Denha, with 12, and Danny Fisher, with 11.

Lost in the Madonna loss was a superb performance by Mike Massey, who hit ll*oM7 shots from the field (6-of9 on three-point ers) in scoring a game-high 28 points. He also had two steals.
