LAST TIME OUT:
For the fourth time this season, the Cameron men lost a game by less than five points when they fell to Oklahoma Christian, 75-73, in overtime last time out. The two teams were evenly matched the whole game, but CU's lack of ability to get to the foul line (5-9 free throw attempts) cost them down the stretch when they were outscored 11-9 in the final five minutes of action. Schreiner led the way with 21 points on 20 shots attempts, making four three pointers in the loss. Scott added a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds and Dalton Vinson chipped in 10 points off the bench.
