WEATHERFORD, Okla. – The Southwestern Oklahoma State University men's basketball team held Arkansas Tech to a season-low 38 points on 24.5% shooting to rebound from a tough defeat Thursday with a 63-38 victory over the Wonder Boys.
Playing against a zone defense from Arkansas Tech, SWOSU struggled from the outside, converting just 6-of-20 attempts from long range in the game. Timely drives from
Rod Camphor,
Kenyan Borders and
Trent Washington lifted the Bulldogs offense in the second half, leading to a 33-16 scoring advantage after halftime.
Borders scored a career-high 16 points in the game, connecting on 2-of-3 three pointers against the Wonder Boys zone and cutting through the defense to finish 5-of-6 from the field. He also dished out a team-high three assists and had two steals while playing 37 minutes.
Camphor finished with 14 points while Washington and
Gary Inglett each chipped in nine for SWOSU. No player for Arkansas Tech scored more than nine points and the Wonder Boys hit on 13-of-53 (24.5%) field goal attempts in the game.
"We had a great bounce-back win and it started with our energy and effort," Head Coach
Bob Battisti said after the game. "We were focused in practice and these guys don't want to accept mediocrity and today they really showed it here this afternoon."
The Bulldogs are now 6-4 (3-1 GAC) and staying on pace with the top teams in the Great American Conference. SWOSU will be tested on the road next weekend when they visit Southeastern Oklahoma State and East Central.
