- The Thunder scored the first eight points of the game and never looked back. The Comets got as close as five points, 14-9, at the 13:16 mark of the opening half. Trine led 59-28 at halftime as it made 23-of-40 baskets, including 11 from distance. The 52-point margin of victory was the Thunder's largest lead of the game.

- "We're obviously going through a very, very challenging time, with have guys out like this and having to continue switching up lineups," said Olivet head men's basketball coach Sam Hargraves. "At this point in the season this is not something many teams have had to deal with, especially when you are still in the building stages of a program like we are. It wore on us, mentally and physically today. Of course it didn't help today that Trine played very well, and compliments to them.
- "But we can't control it, just have to deal with it and re-group at Monday's practice. We've got to try to pick back up where we left off after a decent game against Albion when we had everyone available. Hopefully we've got enough games left to find the chemistry and get familiar with each other again.
- Bryce Williams led all scorers with 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting from behind the arc.
- Nick Bowman and Mitchell Geller added 16 and 12 points, respectively.
- Connor Jones finished with 11 points.

- Olivet plays five of its next seven games inside the Cutler Event Center. The first one is next Wednesday, February 2, against Adrian College. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m.
