Goodwell, OK – Still seeking their first win of the young season, the Oklahoma Panhandle State men’s basketball team traveled to Bolivar, Missouri for a Tuesday night match-up with undefeated Southwest Baptist University. SBU won 92-74.

For the first ten minutes of the game, it was as even as possible, with the score tied at 18-18. SBU staged a good run as the opening period elapsed and held a 42-32 advantage at halftime.

After the break, the Aggies staged a fast paced rally and closed the gap to five (47-43), but SBU came right back with ten consecutive points to go ahead 57-43 with just over 13 minutes left to play.

The Aggies narrowed the SBU lead to 11 points (66-55) on a Nick Malinowski three pointer, but SBU continued to push ahead and the game ended with an SBU win, 92-74.

William Preston led the Aggies with 20 points and forward Nick Malinowski continued to average a “Double-Double” for the season, this time collecting 19 points and 11 rebounds. Eddie Moss notched 14 points for the Aggies and Juan Carson added 11.

The Aggies (0-6) will get a well deserved week off before the same Southwest Baptist team visits Goodwell on December 6th.
