The Nevada Tigers returned to Carthage for the third day in a row to take on the Leavenworth Pioneers.

Leavenworth would win the tip, however, Nevada would get the ball back on a Brice Budd steal but were unable to convert it to a basket and the Pioneers would strike first with a layup and would continue to go on a quick 6-0 run. This would get Coach Shaun Gray to call a quick time-out to rally his troops and the Tigers would come out of that time-out going on a run of their own.
