Dennison scored his first points of the season to start the game and then Rickey Jackson, Jr. connected from deep to give Adrian a 5-0 lead. The Bulldogs increased their lead to 12-4 at the 15:32 mark prompting a 30-second timeout by Kalamazoo. The Bulldogs kept their foot on the gas stretching the lead to 21-9 with 6:35 left in the first half after a Gordon three. The lead ballooned to 19 points at 30-11 with 1:22 left and Adrian led 33-15 at the break.
