In the last 12 minutes the
Preachers overcame the 17-point deficit and took a one-point lead on
a basket by Matt Searby with 20 seconds remaining. Fontbonne’s Brian
Fogerty then made the winning basket with eight seconds left. The
Preachers were able to get off a last-second shot that bounced off
the rim. Coach Clark, although disappointed, was proud that his
players never gave up and worked hard the entire game.
The Preachers were playing without Luke Johnson, whose status is
uncertain due to a foot injury.
The Preachers were led by Matt Searby, with 30 points and seven
rebounds; Howard Wickersham, with 13 points and six rebounds; and
Tyler Smith, with 10 points.
