Thomas added a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the first half to give Allan Hancock a 20-point lead at 46-26 at the half. Fisher hit a short jumper in the opening seconds of the second half to push the margin to 22 points at 48-26.
Sierra rallied in the second half, cutting the deficit to six points after a 3-pointer by PG Drew Brandon ,made it 64-58 with 8:05 left. But that was as close as the Wolverines would get.
SG Junior Anderson and Thomas hit consecutive 3-pointers to push the lead back to 13 points at 71-58 with about six minutes left. Another three by Anderson made it 76-61 about a minute later. SF Mike Fraylon scored off a pass from Fisher with 2:25 left to make it 81-64; the assist was Fishers 10th of the game.
