Tigers Struggle in Loss to Southern Nazarene

BETHANY, Okla. – Southern Nazarene stymied the Tiger's offense in what was Ouachita's worst offensive output on the season in a 70-47 road loss.

With about four to play till halftime, the Crimson Storm flipped a switch. The speed and aggressive attack were too much for the Tigers to handle. For Ouachita, its offense never found a groove as this was by far the Tiger's least productive offensive day.

Kendarious Smith led the Tigers with 11 points. No other Tiger was in double digits.

For SNU, Jhonathan Dunn dropped 26 and Micah Speight added 14.

Ouachita's sloppy start was less than ideal as through five minutes the Tigers had five turnovers with just four points. The Tigers tied it at 21 on an Allie Freeman three, but after that bucket the Crimson Storm took control. SNU closed the half on a 12-3 run sending the Tigers into half down nine.

The Crimson Storm opened the second half the same way they finished the first. SNU's run stretched out to 31-8 and the game was seemingly in hand.

The Tigers cut it to 14 with under five to play, but that was as close as it would get. It was clearly the Crimson Storm's day in what was a wall-to-wall victory.

Ouachita fell to 8-11, 5-9 in conference play, while Southern Nazarene improved to 16-6, 10-4 in conference.

The Tigers next game will be Thursday, Feb. 6 at home against Arkansas Tech University. The game will start at 7:30 p.m. To stay up to date on all things Tiger basketball, stay tuned to obutigers.com.
