MEN'S BASKETBALL: The Scots Come up Short at Adrian, 78-64

Jan. 26, 2008

The Alma College Men's Basketball Team (1-14, 1-5) has struggled all season putting two solid halves of basketball together and today was the same story as they put up an outstanding 45 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough to rally them past a 19 point first half showing as Adrian (7-10, 2-4) walked away with the 78-64 win.

The tale of two halves was best seen in the Scots shooting percentage in each period. In the first half, the Scots shot under 30%, resulting in 19 points. The second half saw Alma make 17-34 shots and put up 45 points.

Standing out for the Maroon and Cream was junior forward Matt Brown (Midland) who grabbed five boards and led the Scots in scoring with 15. Freshman Jordan Redditt (Detroit) also had a solid showing as despite shooting only 4-13 from the field, managed to put up 11 points, three rebounds, and three assists in his starting role.

The Scots return home this Wednesday as they will host the Brits of Albion College for a tip-off time of 7:30 p.m.
