(Waukesha) For the second year in a row the UW-Fox men's basketball team gave up a late lead and let the Cougars tie the game in regulation. But, for the second year in a row the Cyclones pulled out the win in overtime 83-78. Trevor Krizenesky and Trevor Smith combined to hit 6 free-throws in a row over the final 6 seconds to seal the UW-Fox win.
Krizenesky led UW-Fox with 23 points while Smith finished with 21 points and 5 rebounds. The two combined to shoot 5/10 from 3-point range and 11/11 from the free-throw line. Appleton East grad Sam Schreiber scored 15 points on 7/9 shooting, and his tip-in basket early in overtime jump started the Cyclones in the extra period.
Joe Perez sparked the Cyclones off the bench. He took two charges and scored 7 points. Two of his baskets came on offensive rebounds. Kaukauna's Jordan Kaufman chipped in with 10 points and 4 rebounds despite missing most of the first half with foul trouble.
The Cyclones shot 56.5% for the game and forced UW-Waukesha into 20 turnovers. UW-Fox also held UW-Waukesha to just 13 offensive rebounds after the Cougars had recorded 44 in their previous two games.
With the win the Cyclones move to 3-0 overall, 2-0 in the WCC-East. They will return to action next Monday (11/19) when they play at UW-Marinette.
