Greyhounds Fall at North Arkansas

The Greyhounds just couldn't find their pace as they dropped a 90-73 decision to the North Arkansas College Pioneers Saturday at Pioneer Pavilion in Harrison, Arkansas.

The Pioneers led 10-9 before going on an 8-0 run in a game that ASU Mid-South never led. Braxtyn McCuien's three-pointer at the buzzer cut the North Arkansas lead to 48-43 at the half, but the Pioneers opened the second half with a 16-5 run and the Greyhounds never threatened the rest of the way.

North Arkansas (18-4, 3-2) shot a blistering 39.4% from the arc in connecting on 13-of-33 three-pointers and shot 50.0% from the field while winning the battle of the boards, 38-33. The Greyhounds managed to shoot 42.1% from the field and 9-of-19 (47.4%) from the arc, but gave up 16 turnovers and 12 offensive rebounds. Former Greyhound Jacob Hudson led the Pioneers with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists.

Braxtyn McCuien led ASU Mid-South with 24 points and 6 rebounds on 8-of-13 shooting including 2-of-3 from the three-point line. Christian Thompson and Chris Martin scored 9 points each.

The Greyhounds (16-7, 4-1) travel to play Shorter College Monday at 7:30pm following the women's game at 5:30pm before returning to The Dog House Saturday to take on South Arkansas Community College at 4:00pm.
