Tonight was the first game without star guard Bruce Brown, who will have surgery on Thursday. DJ Vasiljevic replaced him in the starting lineup.
Another lineup change saw Chris Lykes inserted in the starting lineup at point guard in place of Ja’Quan Newton.
“The best basketball he [Newton] has played is coming in off the bench,” said head coach Jim Larranaga. “Your hopeful that by putting him in that role, he’ll really respond.”
Newton tallied three points on the night, while only logging 15 minutes. Lykes may soon be a regular in the starting lineup, having scored 13 points and leading the team in assists, with five.
