WEATHERFORD – The Bulldogs had their seven-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the regular season conference champions, 65-56. SWOSU will now look forward to competing in the GAC Tournament next week in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

The Dawgs finish the regular season 15-12 and 12-10 in conference play. After sitting 5-9 in conference and on the outside looking into the postseason tournament in early February, SWOSU rattled off seven straight victories for their longest win streak since the 2015-2016 season.

On Saturday, a sloppy first half ended with SNU having a 28-21 advantage. SWOSU shot just 7-23 (30.4%) from the field, compared to 12-24 (50%) from the visiting team. Both teams combined for 21 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes.

SWOSU looked like a team with a mission to start the latter half, going on a 15-4 run over the opening seven minutes to take a 36-32 lead. However, the final eight minutes belonged to SNU. After SWOSU held a 42-41 lead, the Crimson Storm had a quick 11-2 run to form a seven-point lead and were able to withstand the Dawgs as any comeback effort fell short.

The Bulldogs shot just 19-50 (38%), their third-lowest mark of the season. From deep, SWOSU went 7-22 (32%). SNU went 23-54 (43%) and only 5-23 (22%) from beyond the three-point line. SWOSU was outrebounded 37-26 and lost 15-2 in second-chance points.

MJ Warrior was the only Dawg in double-figure scoring with 12 points, and he added six assists to lead the team. Eli Al-Debaran and Tucker Shepherd each added eight points, with two three-point makes to their name.

More GAC Tournament details, including seeding, opponent, and schedule, will be announced when the bracket is finalized.
