Trailing by 15, the Eagles trimmed the lead down to six with six minutes remaining, only to have the Badgers make their free throws down the stretch to secure the win. Johnson State was 28 of 39 from the charity stripe. Justin Van Dyke played a solid game for the Eagles with eight points and four assists and four steals. Senior Chris Boone added to his block total with three and also added to the offense with six points. Boone (12) and Foley (13) teamed up to nab 25 of the 54 DWC rebounds.
