Following the tournament, the Titans beat Winona, Whitewater, and Stout to stretch their string to Five victories in a row. In the next game with Eau Claire, Oshkosh broke their winning streak and lost 90-84. With their next opponent, Ripon, Oshkosh State had to go into an overtime before winning 98-95. The Titans then dropped the next two conference games to Platteville and Stevens Point. Oshkosh managed to knock the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee out of first place in the conference standings by defeating the Cardinals 68-59. In this game, shortly after the second half, Coach Kitzman’s boys went into a semi-stall; the tactics worked and the Titans came out the victors.
