After the tip-off it is was all Sheyenne in this blowout. The Mustangs imposed their will upon the Bruins. Sheyenne is simply too long and athletic for South to compete with.

The one bright spot for South was Kam Arechigo who had 17 points with 5 triples.

They finished with a 34-point victory, their first “W” in 2021.
