BELOIT, Wis. - The Beloit College Men's basketball team hosted the Cornell College Rams this afternoon as they begin to wrap up the MWC season. The Buccaneers (13-8, 7-6 MWC) never led in this one, falling to the Rams (7-14, 4-8 MWC) by the final score of 71-61.
Poor shooting from Beloit and above average three point shooting from the Rams is what ultimately did the Bucs in. Beloit shot just 35.6% (16-45) from the field and 27.3% (6-22) from deep. For the Rams, it seemed like they couldn't miss from down town, hitting 43.5% (10-23) of their three balls. The Bucs held a slight margin in points off turnovers (15-7).
Semaj Roy (Chicago, Ill.) led the Buccaneers with 16 points, five rebounds, and a block, assist and steal.
Azeez Ganiyu (Beloit, Wis.) recorded yet another double-double, however his first in four games. He tallied 15 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals. The third and final Buc to hit double-figures was
Anthony Carter (Greenfield, Wis.) off the bench. Carter added ten points.
The Buccaneers will look to rebound on Tuesday, February 6th when they head out of the MWC to Watertown, Wis. for a clash with the Maranatha Baptist Sabercats. Tip off for that game is set for 7pm.
