Looking to build on Thursday night’s win over the University of Jacksonville, the men’s basketball team turned in a valiant effort at home Saturday night against the University of North Florida Ospreys (13-18, 8-10 in conference), but effort wasn’t enough to take the win. The team fell to the visitors 85-78 in a game that solidified the Bisons’ bracket seating for the Atlantic-Sun tournament. After a strong start by Lipscomb (leading by six at 14:55), North Florida fought their way back to make it a close first half. That is, until the last three minutes, where the Bisons went on a run, widening the margin to seven at the half. The second half saw more strong play from Lipscomb, holding a 10-point lead with a little more than 10 remaining. Unfortunately, the Ospreys once again chipped away at the lead, eventually taking the top score at 3:30. After this, the game became a back-and-forth of jumpers, layups and free-throws, with the Ospreys hitting key shots at moments, and the Bisons missing when it counted. North Florida walked away from Allen Arena with the win. The Bisons end their regular season 12-17 (7-11 in the A-Sun). Senior Deonte Alexander, who was honored at half court before the game for Senior Night, led the Bisons in scoring with 19, while redshirt sophomore Carter Sanderson added in 16 points. Junior Khion Sankey led the team in rebounds with nine and had 12 points on the night. Sankey said he felt that the team’s shooting percentage in the second half was a cause for trouble. “I feel like we played hard. They just made...

Sometimes, those five extra minutes of game play can go a mile and a half. For the men’s basketball team, five minutes of free basketball led to 18 points and a 79-72 win, once tied at 61 with the Kennesaw State Owls (2-18) at the end of regulation. The now 8-11 Bisons held the Owls to a manageable margin for most of the first half. Both teams went scoreless until junior Khion Sankey put up a big three to open the game at 17:54. After a few back-and-forth lead swaps, the Bisons finally gained a nine-point lead with five remaining before halftime. The Owls clawed back ever so slightly, but a resounding dunk by freshman Stephen Hurt to send the Bisons to a six-point lead before the break. The second half, however, was a different story. Kennesaw State came out swinging, cutting the margin to around one or two in the first few minutes. The Bisons and Owls fought for the lead in much of the second half. Four key free throw shots by sophomore Malcom Smith in the last few minutes of play helped send the game into overtime. In OT, the Bisons never let the Owls regain the lead, hitting important shots and using the clock in their favor. By the time the final buzzer echoed through Allen Arena, the Bisons emerged victorious. Malcom Smith had a big night for the Bisons with a double-double (21 points, 12 rebounds), while redshirt sophomore Carter Sanderson had a career night with 15 points (9 of those from beyond the arch). Hurt also had a double-double with 12 points and 10...
