Just after the Eagles had cut the deficit to 64-60, Hardin-Simmons reeled off a trio of three-point shots to end the hopes of Ozarks. The Cowboys led 39-33 at the half and never let the Eagles grab the lead although Ozarks did tie it early in the second half. Lance Gardner led the Eagles with 15 points.
