With 45.8 seconds left, Gabe York wrapped a pass around a defender to Elfrid Payton for a three pointer that put Fort Wayne up 28-24 after one quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne would push their lead to 11 with 9:51 left in the second on an Anderson three, the first double digit lead for either team in the game. Deividas Sirvydis would answer with a three of his own on the other end for Wisconsin, which was then itself matched by a Payton three pointer. At the halftime break, Anderson\u2019s 13 points led Fort Wayne to a 62-49 lead. Paris Bass led Wisconsin at halftime with 18 points.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne built their lead back up in the third, but a Sirvydis three with 4:07 left in the third narrowed the gap to single digits again at 81-72. Fort Wayne battled back with a run, capped by a Tevin Brown fast break layup with 1:30 left in the third as the Mad Ants pushed their lead back up to 93-76. After three quarters, Fort Wayne led the Herd 96-84.<\/p>\n<p>A 7-2 start to the fourth quarter for Wisconsin, punctuated by a Brandon Sampson fast break dunk, cut the Fort Wayne lead down to seven at 98-91. The Mad Ants would go back up by double digits with 8:11 left on a three from York, 106-95. Back to back Anderson dunks with 6:16 left pushed the Fort Wayne lead to 112-97.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson led Fort Wayne with 31 points, followed by 27 out of Trevelin Queen. Jermaine Samuels Jr. posted a 14 point, 13 rebound double double, moving him to 13th all-time in Mad Ant double doubles.<\/p>\n<p>Paris Bass led the Herd with 26, with five other Wisconsin players scoring in double figures. Sirvydis added 22 points for the Herd.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2007-trf\/24844.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Mad Ants at Headwaters Park East and the Three Rivers Festival.
