It may have been an ugly game, but the Cyclones were able to pull out the 79-68 win over Prairie State College.

The Cyclones never found their groove despite having the upper hand. When the Pioneers put on the zone defense, however, Lawrence Pointer busted through again, scoring 19, including five three-pointers. Elijah Ward (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Jaswon Finley-Thornton (11 points) also contributed.
