No. 13 Rangers Fall in Top-2 RMAC Showdown with Black Hills State

DENVER - The No. 13 Regis University men's basketball team (16-5,11-4 RMAC) dropped it's contest with the Black Hills State Yellowjackets (16-5,14-2 RMAC), Monday night at the Regis Field House. The game, which was originally scheduled for Dec. 31, featured the top-2 teams in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). The Rangers, who still remain the No. 2 team in the conference, fell 85-75 to the Yellowjackets despite having a better shooting percentage from beyond the arc.    

How it Happened: Graduate student guard Troy Brady nailed a big triple just before the first frame came to a close, giving Regis a 40-37 lead heading into the half.

Regis had a 6-point lead with 15 minutes to play in the game when junior guard Aaron Bokol got his free throw after an and-one opportunity, but BHSU was not fazed.

Following Bokol's point at the charity stripe, the Yellowjackets ended the game on a 42-24 run, which included 20-straight unanswered points. 

RU cut their 14-point deficit (6:11 mark) to 83-75 with under 30 seconds to play, but that was as close as they could get to BHSU. In the end, the Rangers fell 75-85.
 
Game Notes: Graduate student guard Brian Dawson (8-16 FG, 3-6 3-PT) led RU with 25 points and six assists.

Bokol (8-16 FG, 2-7 3-PT) scored a season-high 20 points and had eight boards.

Graduate student guard Ilisia Washington (4-8 FG, 2-5 3-PT) scored 10 points and had five rebounds to lead the bench.
