Bethune-Cookman made its first six shots to jump out to an early 20-2 lead and never looked back. It was 53-14 at halftime. The biggest lead came on Cletrell Pope's jumper that made it 94-32 with 5:10 remaining.

All 14 Wildcats scored, with Soufiyane Diakite, Houston Smith and Pope each adding eight. Pope had 11 rebounds, followed by Diakite with 10. Malik Maitland's stat line included four assists and four steals.
