Robert Waters scored 20 points for Wayland Baptist, Royal Crouch added 18 and Bunja Yaboe grabbed 10 rebounds.
The Pioneers out-rebounded the Broncs 43-41, but shot 41.9 percent from the field to Texas-Pan American's 50.8 percent.
A layup by McDonald capped the Broncs' 9-0 opening run, but the Pioneers clawed back to lead 20-19 on a layup by Jordan Johnson and held on for a 34-33 halftime lead on a layup by Morris Mitchell.
The lead traded hands three times in the second half before Joesaar hit a layup and free throw to spark a 7-0 run, and the Broncs pulled away on runs of 8-0 and 7-0.
