DeKALB — The men’s basketball team (10-11, 3-5 Mid-American Conference) suffered a tight 79-72 loss Saturday to the Western Michigan University Broncos in a game that saw five ties and 14 lead changes, following up their blowout victory Tuesday over the Bowling Green State University Falcons.
Head Coach Mark Montgomery said he credits his team for playing hard but said they couldn’t get important defensive stops when they needed to.
“I thought we dominated the first half even though we were still down by four,” Montgomery said. “We shot a great percentage in the second half. It just came down to some little things in the last five minutes of the game.
