The UW-Fox men’s basketball team fell to UW-Marinette on Monday night 80-77. UW-Marinette guard Brandon Roby (Milwaukee) hit the last of his 5 three-point field goals from the deep right corner as the horn sounded to give the Buccaneers the comeback win. Roby and guard Jonte Wells (Chicago) combined to hit 9 three-point field goals for the Buccaneers.
The Cyclones led by as many as 18 points in the first half. UW-Fox turned several steals into easy baskets and got 13 points from Jordan Kaufman (Kaukauna). A Cyclone turnover and two bad defensive possessions allowed the Buccaneers a 6-0 run to end the half down just 39-29.
In the second half the Buccaneers scored first to cut the UW-Fox lead to single digits, but a Sam Schreiber (Appleton East) lay-up gave the Cyclones a 48-31 lead with a little more than 15 minutes remaining in the game.
UW-Marinette would connect on 7 three-point field goals over the next 10 minutes to get back into the game. The Buccaneers were bolstered by 14 second half offensive rebounds and a lackluster UW-Fox offense. The Cyclones also failed to get defensive stops when they were needed.
Jon Braeger (Wrightstown) led UW-Fox with 21 points. Kaufman finished with a career high 16 points. After the disappointing loss the Cyclones head into the Thanksgiving break with a 3-1 overall record, 2-1 in the WCC-East. They will return to action on Wednesday November 28th when they host UW-Marathon.
