The crowd of 16,000 screamed itself hoarse as the Hawkeyes opened up a 55-50 lead at the end of the third quarter, scoring 22 points to the Illinis' 15. They never trailed thereafter. Five Illinois men fouled out in the hectic game, including 6-foot-9 Johnny Kerr and Bob Peterson. Four of them were waved to the sidelines in the last five minutes as the Hawkeyes, trying to protect a six-point lead, repeatedly took the ball out of bounds rather than shoot free throws and permit the Illini to score.

It was St. Louis' game from the start as they built up a 17-2 lead in the opening five minutes and led 22-10 after the quarter. With Notre Dame under control, the fans' attention was heightened in the second half as Steiner tried to break a school scoring record 31 points set by Lbu Lehman in the 1949-50 season but Steiner could only tie it. He became tense as he neared the mark and missed shots similar to ones he made easily earlier. Steiner sat out at least four minutes in the second quarter and a short period in the final stanza.

Leroy Leslie led Notre Dame scoring with 21 points. Six baskets by the team captain in the first half kept Notre Dame from a worse defeat. Dick Rosenthal. Notre Dame's high scorer for the season with a 14-point average, was held to one field goal, and that was in the final period.
