The second game against No. 3 seed Tennesse Agent Orange started like in the second half of the Purdue game. Both teams faced snow and windblown into their faces. The wheels definitely fell off in this game with the final score 12-3, Agent Orange.
But the Wizardz managed to turn the car around in their last game of the day against No. 7 seed Missouri. The Wizardz won their game, 12-8. After hearing that their next team forfeited the Pre-Quarterfinal game, the Wizardz moved onto the next round.
