The UW-Fox men’s basketball team recorded a 75-57 victory over UW-Washington on Monday night in a WCC-East match-up. The Cyclones labored offensively for most of the first half in a game that was their home opener.
Seth Wallace came off the bench to hit a 3-point field goal from the deep left corner that gave the Cyclones a 19-16 lead. It was a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the game. Wallace sparked the Cyclones off the bench in the opening half by scoring 6 points and grabbing 3 offensive rebounds to help UW-Fox to a 33-25 halftime lead. UW-Fox shot a season low 26% from three-point range in the opening half.
Trevor Krizenesky initiated an early second half run with his tenacious on ball defense. The Cyclones used some early Wildcat turnovers to quickly push the lead to double digits and would maintain that lead throughout the second half. UW-Fox also improved its ball movement in the second half against the Wildcats pesky zone defense, and that allowed the Cyclones to shoot 52% in the second half, compared to just 30% in the first half.
Krizenesky led the Cyclones with 20 points and Cameron Schaefer chipped in with 17. Sam Schreiber recorded 9 points and 5 rebounds for the Cyclones, while Wallace also finished with 9 points and 5 rebounds off the bench.
With the win UW-Fox moves to 3-0 (2-0) on the season. They return to action on Wednesday night when they host WCC-East rival UW-Waukesha at 7:30pm. The Cougars are led by first year coach Adam Ligocki.
