The Bold were led in their lone exhibition game before the second half of the season by second-year guard Maxime Louis-Jean, who cashed in seven threes in the contest as part of his game-high 25 points.

After the first quarter, TMU held total control over UNBC, where every Bold player who checked in the game was able to score a bucket.
