Bolivar, Mo- The SBU Men's Basketball team continued their four game homestand tonight as they took on the Lindenwood Lions. They trailed at the end of the first half and were down by as many as nine points and came all the way back but fell 72-73. That loss puts the Bearcats at 12-4 (6-3 GLVC).
 
"Second half, we had some better execution and did a better job, when they went on that run with about four or five minutes, you're thinking this is going to be hard, but have to give our guys a ton of credit, they put us in a position to make a play at the end, we didn't make it today but we will. I thought our guys did a great job of staying focused and giving us an opportunity at the end and that's what you want" said Head Coach Clark Sheehy.
 
Mitch Ganote had his second straight 20-point game, scoring a team high 21 points tonight, 11 coming from the free throw line. He went 5-11 from the field for 45% and had 7 assists and 5 rebounds to go along. One other Bearcat scored in double digits of RJ Crawford, getting 12 points off of four baskets and a perfect 4-4 from the charity stripe.
 
The Bearcats will be back in action on Saturday as they host the Maryville Saints (9-12, 3-6 GLVC.) Tip-off is schedule for 3:00 PM.
