HOUSTON – The Western Michigan men's basketball team dropped the final game of the Owl Invitational, 63-57, to Georgia Southern on Sunday afternoon at Rice's Tudor Fieldhouse.
Trailing by 10 at halftime, 37-27, Western Michigan (2-4) scored the first six points out of the locker room to trim the deficit to 37-33. The Broncos held Georgia Southern (3-3) without a point for nearly four minutes to start the period.
At the 15:09 mark, Lamar Norman Jr. converted an old-fashioned three-point play to get WMU back to within a point, 39-38. The next four points went to the Eagles, but Seth Hubbard answered with a triple to close the gap to 43-41.
