What looked like a close game on paper turned into a thumping.
The St. Norbert College Green Knights (13-2, 10-0 Midwest) cruised to a 82-58 win over the Carroll College Pioneers in De Pere.
Carroll (12-2, 8-1 Midwest) trailed by 18 at halftime, then went on a 9-0 run early in the second half to cut the lead to 11. But the Knights went on a 17-4 run of their own to regain control, extending their Midwest Conference win streak to 54 straight games.
D.J. DeValk had 25 points to lead the Green Knights.
