ISU jumped out to a quick 8-0 lead on the Anteaters and never relinquished the lead. The anteaters got back within 2 8-6 when a Vince Greene 3 pointer put the Birds up 5, 11-6. The biggest lead of the half came when a Shedrick Ford 3 pointer fell to make the score 16-8. Once again the Anteaters went on a run, scoring the next 7 to close within 1 point. Another Greene 3 pointer stopped the run and ISU settled for a 26-21 half time lead.

A lay-up by Shawn Jeppson off of a steal early in the second half put the Birds back up by 8, then a Boo Bojang tip in gave ISU their first double digit lead, 32-22. UCI got back within 6 before a technical on the Anteater's bench with 9:05 left. Jeppson converted the free throws for  43-35 lead. The Birds held on to win 58-52.

Bojang led the Birds with 13 points and 8 rebounds. Jeppson and Greene added 12 and 11 points respectively. Greene also had a team high 4 assists.
