“It was a war – talk about our execution that second half; it was darn near perfect,” said Brookings head coach Travis Engebretson. “(We were) 17-of-20 from the free-throw line; we got in the bonus early and they got in the bonus early and I think we did a nice job of adjusting to the way the game was being called.”
