The Eagles fought hard in a back and forth battle between rival Black Hills State University, but came up just short, 62-61.

The largest lead in the game was only seven points, held by CSC late in the first half. A 10-2 Yellow Jackets’ run to close the half quickly turned that around. The biggest lead for BHSU was five. With 12 seconds left in the game, Christopher Smith, senior guard of Pasadena, California, hit a clutch three to bring the Eagles within two.

Wyatt Krogman, a junior guard for the Yellow Jackets of White River, South Dakota, split a pair of free throws, extending the lead back to three. A last-second foul by BHSU put Kendrick Holliman, senior forward of Spanish Fort, Alabama, on the line. Holliman sank both, closing the gap back to one.

On the following possession, senior guard Evan Brooks, of Ontario, California, stole the inbounds pass but couldn’t get the half-court shot to fall.

BHSU outscored the Eagles in the paint, 40-30. Overall the shot charts for both teams were close; CSC shooting 43.4 percent from the field while BHSU shot 44 percent. 

Holliman and Smith accounted for more than half of the Eagles points, 17 and 15, respectively. Junior forward Davante McCallam, of Miami, added eight points for the Eagles. Brooks added six points and three boards.

The Eagles will tip off against New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas at 7 p.m., Friday.
