Knights Season Ends in NAIA Tournament

Alexandria, LA - The Knights made the NAIA National Tournament for the first time in program history and were in Alexandria, Louisiana for their First Round matchup against the Lions of Nelson University. The Knights and Lions were evenly matched on paper so the game looked to be a close one.

The Knights made the first basket of the game and the score was close to start off the first half. The Lions started to pull away as the three point shots seemed to go in with every shot. The Knights found themselves down by 20 points with five minutes remaining in the first half but used 13-0 run to cut the lead down to seven points. The Knights were down 47-39 at halftime and cut the lead back down to six points early in the second half but the Lions extended their lead to 10 points where it seemed to stay for most of the second half. The Knights tried to make a comeback late in the second half, cutting the lead down to five points with 5:43 remaining in the game but it would be as close as they could get as the Lions would defeat the Knights 85-74. Trashawn Wilson led the Knights with 20 points off of the bench as Bryce Turner had a 12 point-13 rebound double-double.

The Knights finish their season with a record of 19-9, tying their program record for wins in a single season.
