Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Men Drop Third Straight With Loss at No. 7 Lambuth

JACKSON, Tenn. - 2/14/2008 - The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University men’s basketball team dropped their third straight game with a 90-69 loss at No. 7 Lambuth University on Thursday night. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is now 13-11 on the season and 7-7 in the TranSouth. Lambuth improved to 22-3 overall and 14-2 in conference play.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ dropped the earlier meeting this season at home to Lambuth, 83-67.

The first half was paced by Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ with the Bulldogs leading for the majority of the first 20 minutes. The game was tied at 40-40 when Lambuth drained two three points to jump out to a 46-40 halftime lead.

The second half was dominated by the Eagles. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ managed on 29 second half points as Lambuth cruised to the 21-point win, 90-69.

The NAIA’s second leading scorer, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s Matt Neaville, posted his Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ career low with just two points and no field-goals. This marked the first time all season that he has failed to reach double figures in scoring. It also marked the first time he failed to make a three-pointer. He leads the nation in three pointers made per game with five.

As a team, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ posted good percentages from the field, but the 24 turnovers leading to 18 Lambuth points greatly contributed to the loss.
