Olympia, Wash. – The Multnomah University men's basketball team experienced nearly every high and low of a basketball contest in their matchup with Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) competitor, The Evergreen State College. MU came out of the gate firing on all cylinders and managed to build a 12 point lead in the first half, but the Geoducks created a large surge of their own by putting together a 26 point swing and building up a 16 point lead in the second half. The Lions would then come-back and cut their deficit to as few as 2 points, but were unable to finish the charge and were handed their second CCC loss of the season.
