Johnson was 8-of-17 from the field, and 9-of-10 from the free throw line, scoring 20-plus points for the fifth time this season. He added six rebounds and two steals.

Tommy Griffitts went 9-for-10 from the field for 18 points, with six rebounds and an assist, steal and block. Desi Burrage and Jacob Alonzo both chipped in with nine. Alonzo had a team-high seven rebounds and five assists.
