The struggles continued for the Missouri Western 9-16 (4-13) men’s basketball team as they lost 73-68 to the Truman State Bulldogs 5-19 (4-11). The Griffons lost for the ninth time in the last ten games.
The Griffons jumped out to an early 23-9 lead. The Griffons had a balanced attack early on as many players contributed. Head coach Tom Smith attributed the fast start to playing well offensively.
“We shot the ball well early and we had some good possessions early,” Smith said.
The Griffons had lapse on the defensive end for the rest of the half as the Bulldogs ended the half on a 28-13 run. The run was capped by a 75-foot heave at the buzzer by Banks Estridge, which gave the Bulldogs a 37-36 lead heading into the half. Sophomore Reggie Bunch thought the shot took a little out of the team. (Full story)
