The Sages dished out 14 assists and committed just eight turnovers. They scored 30 points in the paint and turned 13 Tuscola turnovers into 16 points.
Ben Singleton recorded a double-double with ten points and 12 rebounds. Briggs Fultz and David Alexander each had eight points. Fultz grabbed eight boards while Alexander pulled down seven.
Alek Bundy added six points and six assists.
