KANSAS CITY --- UNI men's basketball jumped out to a quick lead but struggled to find the basket in the final four and a half minutes as the Panthers fell to the San Francisco Dons in their first game of the NABC Hall of Fame Classic on Monday at T-Mobile Center.
The Panthers jumped out to a fast lead hitting four of their first six shots from the field, attacking the basket and holding the Dons to 37.1% shooting from the floor. UNI built a 10-point lead late in the opening half thanks to a strong interior presence by James Betz and Tytan Anderson, who combined for 20 first half points as the Panthers took a 43-32 lead into the break.
