Greyhounds Fall to Hot Rockets

The Greyhounds fell behind at the half after giving up 10 first-half three-pointers and then ran out of time in a second-half comeback, falling 87-83 to SAU Tech in Camden, Arkansas.

After leading early, the Greyhounds saw the Rockets go on a hot streak from the arc to build a 53-43 halftime lead. The Greyhounds then limited SAU Tech (11-7) to only 34 second-half points but just couldn't finish the comeback as time expired.

ASU Mid-South (10-4) shot a solid 47% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point line while connecting on 81% of their free throws and outrebounding the Rockets 42-34. However, between SAU Tech hitting 13 three-pointers for the game and scoring 28 points off 24 Greyhound turnovers, the home team grabbed the victory.
