Eagles Go Cold in Low Scoring Contest versus Tigers

The Oxford College men's basketball team faltered in a low scoring affair versus GCAA conference rival Southern Crescent Technical College 53 to 42. 

The Eagles shot a season low 19.6 percent from the field as they were ice cold the entire game against the Tigers.  Southern Crescent shot a lowly 36.8 percent but it was enough to hold off Oxford. 

Oxford made 5 field goals in the first half and trailed 22 to 16 at halftime.  The second half was another defensive battle but Oxford was never able to get closer than 6 points in the 2nd half.

 Ryan Kwong led the way for the Eagles with 14 points and 2 steals. 

The Eagles travel to Athens, TN on Saturday, February 3rd to play Tennessee Wesleyan Reserve Squad.  Tipoff is set for 4:00pm.
