As the game progressed, the Lumberjacks maintained control, with a commanding lead that reflected their superior form and home court advantage. The final score of 85-67 not only highlights the Lumberjacks' scoring ability but also their defensive strength, as they limited the Huskies to 67 points despite Houston Christian's attempts to rally late in the game.
