LAWTON – Freshman guard Marques Warrior Jr. had a career-high 23 points and made a game tying three at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime, but the Cameron men's basketball team went cold in the extra five minutes, falling to UT Tyler, 85-75.

Warrior Jr. has been a solid playmaker for head coach Andrew Brown all season but has yet to have a breakout scoring game. He did just that on Monday, scoring a team-high 23 on 9-15 shooting from the field. The Putnam City West product was 4-5 from three-point range, with his fourth being a contested shot with four seconds left in regulation that tied the game at three. Warrior Jr. also had three helpers and three steals in the loss.

Cameron had three players put up solid numbers against UT Tyler, including Warrior Jr. Brock Schreiner scored 15 points on 5-11 shooting, making three triples on the night. Schreiner also had three assists and notched a takeaway and a block on the defensive end.

Connor Slater played 41 strong minutes for Brown, putting up a career-best 15 points on 4-9 shooting. The sophomore forward was 6-8 from the foul line and added a team-best seven rebounds and three assists.

On paper, the Aggies played one of their best games of the season, shooting 47 percent from the field and a season-high 48 percent from long range, where they made 10 threes. However, like Sunday's game against the Pats, turnovers were costly for the Aggies. CU turned it over 25 times in the game, resulting in 28 points for UTT.

Another standout stat in the box score was offensive rebounds. The Black and Gold allowed their opponent to grab 14 boards off their own shot, resulting in 17 second chance points. Cameron also missed nine of their 26 free throw attempts, while UT Tyler converted 26 of 32 at the line.

In the first 19 minutes of action, neither team led by more than four points with each team hitting big shots to tie the game nine times in the half. A three by UT Tyler's Da'Zhon Wyche gave his team a seven point advantage with 44 seconds left in the frame, but Schreiner answered with a triple with two seconds on the clock to send his team into the half down by just four, 34-30.

UT Tyler slowly took control of the game in the second half, extending their lead to 12 with 12:35 to play on a layup by Milan Szabo. Cameron cut the lead back down to five thanks to a pair of made free throws by Hunter Quick, but about a minute later, UTT was back up by nine with four to play.

CU would not go away as a Slater make with 1:16 to play set the score at 67-62. Warrior converted an and-one opportunity with 23 seconds left to narrow the lead to two. Cameron was forced to foul on the next possession, but Emanuel Gant made just one of his two free throws, giving the Aggies a chance to tie the game in the final seconds. On a broken play, Warrior took the game into his own hands and pulled up for a three with a defender in his face and nailed it, tying the game at 68 and forcing overtime.

That was where the remarkable CU comeback ended. Cameron led for just 15 seconds in extra time. UT Tyler was 4-6 from the field, 2-3 from three, and 7-7 from the charity stripe in the final five minutes of action, while the Aggies were just 2-10 from the field and 0-3 from three in overtime.

After dropping both games to UT Tyler, the Aggies fall to 1-12 for the 2020-21 season. They have lost six straight and are now 0-7 at home. They will look to turn things around on the road this upcoming weekend, Feb. 12-13, when they visit St. Mary's for a pair of games in San Antonio, Texas.
