Hesston would hit a 3-pointer early in the third quarter to cut Butler's lead to seven, but the Grizzlies scored 13 straight points, pushing the lead to 20 after a Deztinee Gooden layup made the score 51-31 with 5:17 left in the third quarter.
The Grizzlies were up 62-39 going to the fourth and eventually pushed the lead to over 40 points. Butler outscored Hesston 54-23 in the second half.
