The UW-Fox men’s basketball team opened the 2012-2013 campaign with a 76-61 win over UW-Sheboygan. The game was the season opener and WCC-East opener for both teams.
The Cyclones jumped out to an early 6-0 lead as Brillion alum Trevor Krizenesky found former Olympian conference rival Jon Braeger for two transition lay-ups. Krizenesky handed out 6 assists on the night while recording only 1 turnover.
UW-Sheboygan got their offense untracked with the help of guard Wes Meinen, who finished with a game high 24 points. The Wombats enjoyed a few short leads during the opening half, but the Cyclones closed the half on a 10-3 run to take a 36-31 lead.
UW-Fox turned several early second half stops and turnovers into easy baskets and quickly built a double digit lead that they would maintain throughout the second half. The Cyclones helped their cause by going 9/9 from the free-throw line, and received great contributions off the bench from Nick August and Matt Lehner.
Five Cyclones finished in double figures led by Krizenesky and Braeger who each scored 20 points. August and Lehner came off the bench to chip in 12 and 10 respectively, while Trevor Smith grabbed 6 rebounds to go along with 10 points.
With the win UW-Fox moves to 1-0 on the season, 1-0 in the WCC-East. They will host UW-Richland on Saturday at 3pm in the UW-Fox Fieldhouse. The Roadrunners edged UW-Fox 70-67 in the WCC Tournament semi-finals last season to end the Cyclones season.
