Sophomore Stacey Mack (McComb, Miss.) scored a career-high 19 points, going 8-of-13 from the field and making a career-high three from behind the 3-point arc. He was the only Choctaw to score in double-figures.

Senior Tory Rice tied a career-high with 16 rebounds, including nine on the offensive end, to go along with five points.

The Statesmen were led by All-American Devin Schmidt, who scored 20 points, despite going 7-of-18 from the field. James Kilpatrick and Terry Morris scored 14 points apiece, while Jack Madgen had 10.
