The Bruins were battling foul trouble when they went on 10-1 run midway through the second half to take their biggest lead of the game at 52-43. San Diego got within 70-66 on a steal and layup by Perry with 1:17 left, but Powell's ensuing 3-pointer put the comeback thoughts away.

The Bruins could only manage a six-point lead early in the first half and that seemed to give San Diego time to settle in as the Toreros moved ahead on Dee’s layup with 4:26 left in the opening half and took that two-point advantage into intermission.
