MEN'S BASKETBALL: Scots Get Out Gunned By Aquinas, 72-49

Nov. 27, 2007

Alma, Mi.- The Alma College Men's Basketball Team (0-3) hosted the red hot Aquinas Saints and got a first hand look at the team that had beat both Hope and Calvin in the past week. Aquinas came out hot and kept the pressure on all game on their way to the 72-49 win over the Scots.

Although the Scots were outmatched, there were several bright spots in the game including the play of junior forward Matt Brown (Midland/Midland) who led the team with 13 points and eight rebounds. Brown also drew what seemed like a dozen fouls with his aggressive offensive play.

The Scots will travel to Elmhurst, Ill. to take on Elmhurst College this Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off.
