NOC (24-7) will face NEO (21-8) in the semi-finals Friday at 8 p.m.
The Mavs led wire to wire Thursday afternoon building a 43-27 halftime lead and were never threatened.
"I thought we really came out with an aggressive attacking mindset," said head coach Donnie Jackson. "Amir (Allen) really set the tone early. We did an excellent job of sticking to our defensive game plan. We made guys we keyed on take tough contested shots. Now, it's all about surviving and advancing."
Amir Allen had 14 points in 15 minutes for the Mavs while Keiodre Perry had 13 and Deon Berrien 12. Demaree King and Anselm Uzuegbunem added 10 points each.
NOC also dominated the boards out rebounding the Cougars 60-36.
Allen led the Mavs with 12 rebounds while Trevion Lamar added 11 and Deon Berrien 10. Berrien added four blocks.
The Mavs shot 47 percent from the field and held Redlands to 33 percent shooting.
Friday the Mavs face NEO.
"NEO runs a stellar zone and we will need to attack it and not settle," Jackson added. "We'll need another strong defensive performance."
