The Bulldogs and Mules will swap venues with their second conference meeting one week later in Warrensburg. Sandwiched in between the Mules is the Missouri Southern Lions and a Saturday afternoon affair in Pershing Arena. Truman defeated the Lions in Joplin back on Dec. 9th.

The Bearcats scored the first basket of the second to increase their lead to nine points but Austin Kirby s three-pointer started the rally. A 16-2 run by the Bulldogs gave them a five point lead just six minutes into the period. A basket by Jason Jemison and a free throw by Jim Grabowski cut the lead to two points at but Truman would score 11 straight and take command of the contest.

Nick Certa had a game-high 23 points with 15 coming in the first half to lift the Bulldogs to 6-2 overall and 1-0 in the conference. TJ Britton scored just six seconds into the game for Missouri Southern but it would be the last lead that the Lions would see all afternoon. Truman dominated in the first period with quick ball movement and stingy defense to lead by as many as 25 points in the first half. After a Britton lay-up to cut the Bulldog lead to two points with 15:55 to go, Certa slammed one in to spark the Truman team. Certa and Andy Calmes scored the Bulldogs next 21 points, 13 by Certa on a pair of triples and eight by Calmes to put Truman in front Austin Kirby got in on the action with four first half points and Travis Kern capped off the run with a jumper in the paint with 3:22 remaining in the period. Truman maintained the large lead for most of the second half, allowing the Lions to close to within 14 points with just over eight to play on a basket by Terrell Rice. However, Certa responded again, scoring the Bulldogs next four points to put water on the small fire created by the Lions. Certa finished with 23 points, while Calmes had 12 points and 13 rebounds, as well as picking up eight assists.
