The Jackrabbits took an early advantage but it was the Mastodons with an 11-point run during a 3:52 stretch to take a 15-10 lead. SDSU answered with six straight before Rinehart connected on a layup with four second left in the quarter as the 'Dons led 17-16. An 11-2 advantage by the Jacks midway through the second period had Fort Wayne trailing 38-31 at halftime.
