Fueled by emotion, the Badgers jumped out to a 21-- 9 lead with 8:40 left in the first-hal- f, prompting Dixie to take a timeout in an attempt to keep Snow from ending die game early. The Rebels emerged from their timeout and put together a small run, hanging around and narrowing the Badgers lead to 37-2- 9 at the half. The second-ha- lf turned into a two-ma- n game for Dixie with their two guards scoring nearly every Rebel point over the games final 20 minutes. Marcus Banks and Maurice Baker were impressive; yet, the Badgers 81-6- te -- 35-fo- ot better. While Banks and Baker were their two-ma- n playing busy the Badgers were busy game, maintaining the lead. Just when it appeared as if the Rebels had seized the momentum and on their way to threatening the outcome, someone on the Badgers squad would come up with a big shot, rebound, steal, or whatever was needed, keeping Dixie at bay.

What was supposed to be a demanding conference opener for Snow Colleges womens team, turned into a lopsided 74-4- 6 triumph for the Lady Badgers. The margin of victory was wonderfully decisive; yet, begs the question, "Are the Lady Badgers that good, or was Dixie that bad?" Dixie College entered the game as the defending South Western Athletic Conference Champion and was primed to make another run at the conference crown with two returning starters back and a bevy of talented freshmen. However, the Lady Rebels ran into an inspired group of Lady Badgers, who flat out, handed them their proverbial heads. In the beginning, it looked as if the Lady Badgers were a little too excited, unnervingly turning the ball over on three of their first five possessions. The Lady Badgers finally settled into their game and broke away from an early tie to forge a 34-2- 3 lead at the half. After Dixie scored the first bucket of the second-hal- f, the Lady Badgers ripped off the next 1 1 points in a dizzying span to take a commanding, M- 2-- 4 2-- 4 lead.
