The Tigers faced off against Pomeroy in the first round of games at the Spokane Arena Thursday, February 28. The boys never seemed to get into the rhythm of the game, even though the final score makes the game look more lopsided than it really was.

Rebounding was led by DeWulf with 10, followed closely by King with nine and Weber with eight. King also had seven steals and seven assists in this game.
