HORNET MEN SURRENDER 23 POINT LEAD AT MISSOURI SOUTHERN

Box Score

February 14, 2009-The Emporia State men built a 23 point lead at the 16:56 mark of the second half only to see Missouri Southern go on an 23-3 run over the next 10:26 on the way to a 77-71 MSSU victory in Joplin, Mo. on Saturday night.

ESU had a 39-22 lead at the half and were up 49-26 after hitting four free throws following a technical on the MSS bench. They would be the last free throws the Hornets would hit until Tim Niles connected with 11 seconds left in the game, missing six straight beginning at the 13:45 mark. ESU would also turn the ball over 12 times in the final 16 minutes.

Nile led ESU in scoring with 22 points, including a career high five three pointers, and Robert Moores added 20 points with four treys.
The Hornets are back in action on Wednesday when they play host to Pittsburg State. Tip-off from White Auditorium is set for 7:30 p.m.

NOTES:
ESU is now in fifth place in the MIAA, one half game behind UNO. The Hornets swept the season series with the Mavericks and are tied with nine wins.
