Fort Hays State saw its three-game win streak snapped by Missouri Southern on Thursday evening at Gross Memorial Coliseum. The Lions took the contest by a score of 68-56, improving their win streak to five games and moved to 9-4 overall, 5-2 in the MIAA. FHSU is now 10-4 overall and 5-3 in the MIAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers got out to a good start, building a 12-point lead of 26-14 by the 7:52 mark of the opening half. But from that point, the offense turned cold, scoring only two points the remainder of the half. The Lions went on an 18-2 run during the Tiger cold spell and took a 32-28 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers pulled level with the Lions two times in the second half at the 15:58 and 15:11 marks, but a Winston Dessesow 3-point field goal put the Lions back up for good. The Lions eventually used a 7-0 burst to take a three-point lead to 10 with eight minutes remaining. The lead reached 14 four times inside the final five minutes as the Tigers could never find a run to make things interesting late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah Nnanabu<\/a><\/dfn> and Jaheim Holden<\/a><\/dfn> led the Tigers in scoring, each with 11 points, while Iyen Enaruna<\/a><\/dfn> also reached double figures with 10. Nnanabu led in assists with four and Bjarni Jonsson<\/a><\/dfn> had a team-high four rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lions shot a strong 52.3 percent from the field for the game, including a 9-of-20 effort beyond the 3-point line. The Lions were near perfect at the free-throw line, hitting 13-of-14 attempts. Vinson Sigmon Jr. led a balanced scoring effort for MSSU with 16 points, followed by Avery Taggart with 14. Christian Bundy and Dessesow each had 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State looks to rebound on Saturday when it hosts Pittsburg State. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. at Gross Memorial Coliseum. The Gorillas will enter at 5-9 overall, 2-6 in the MIAA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
