The University of Dallas was unable to hold on to a 26-25 halftime lead as the Austin College Kangaroos spoiled the Crusaders home opener 47-44 in taking the first game of the UD Tip-Off Classic.
Down by one at the half, Austin College turned up their defense by limiting UD to 22.2% shooting in the frame. The ‘Roos also improved their accuracy from the field to 44.4% behind the shooting of James Hill, who was 6 of 7 from the field for a team high 15 points. Hill also tied Anthony Holman for the team lead with 8 rebounds.
Junior Corey Loverson’s double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) and senior Michael Cusack (8 points, 7 rebounds) were the major contributors to the Crusaders offense before it suffered a second-half collapse.
UD concludes the UD Tip-Off Classic with a Sunday’s game against Millsaps College at 2:00 p.m.
