Playing on their home floor for the final time this season, the Macks (12-13, 7-7 Western Cloverbelt Conference) began with a hot-shooting start, and, though their offense slowed, McDonell's relentless defense limited the Panthers (11-12, 11-5 Lakeland - East) to just 15 points by halftime.
To begin the second, the Macks boys locked in even more during an incredible 31-4 run, eventually forcing a running clock as they cruised into the second round of the tournament.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior guard Eddie Mittermeyer did not miss in the second half, knocking down a total of 6 threes in the game during a 26-point outburst. Junior forward Canan Huss added 12 points in a balanced effort, while fellow junior, guard Aidan Misfeldt, notched 10 points.
