With just under a minute to play, a costly delay of game technical foul was called against Milbank.  After a made free throw to make the score 51-48, a delay of game was called against the Bulldogs for hitting the ball after a made shot.  It was the second one of the game resulting in a technical foul.  Pankonen made both free throws to make it a five point lead, 53-48.  Each team scored two points, 55-50, and then the Bulldogs were fouled on a three-point shot with :07 left.  They made all three free-throws to pull within two points, 55-53.  Dell Rapids was fouled, but both free-throws were missed.  Milbank got the defensive rebound, but the last second shot just inside the three-point line hit the back rim and fell away no good.
