MEN'S BASKETBALL: Scots Make Huge Comeback, Fall One Point Short

Jan. 16, 2008

The Alma College Scots (0-3, 0-12) took the long trip to Angola, Ind. to take on Tri-State (2-1, 5-8) and made a valiant second half comeback but came up just short as the Thunder gutted out the 59-58 win.

The Scots trailed were outscored 36-23 in the first half but dominated the second half, holding the Thunder to 23 but came up one bucket short, coming up on the losing end of another close game.

Having a second straight outstanding game for the Scots was junior Ryan DeHaan (Rockford) who led the team with 18 points and nine boards in 30 minutes of action. Matt Brown (Midland) was a rock in the middle and had a solid outing,  scoring 13 and grabbing eight rebounds of his own in the game.

The road doesn't get any easier for the Scots as they host Olivet College (4-8) this Saturday for a 3:00 p.m. tip-off.
