FORT SMITH, Ark. — The Pittsburg State University men’s basketball team dropped a 72-58 road decision to unbeaten and No. 11 ranked University of Arkansas-Fort Smith Thursday (Jan. 1).
The Gorillas (8-5, 2-1 MIAA) dropped their first game in league play, while the Lions (12-0, 3-0 MIAA) maintained their unblemished conference slate.
Freshman guard Mason English and junior guard Connor Rogers contributed 11 points apiece to pace the Pitt State offense. English added seven rebounds and four assists on the afternoon. Freshman forward Ethan Sage chipped in with 10 points and five rebounds in his return to action, after being sidelined the past eight games with an injury.
The Gorillas shot just 37.3 percent from the field for the game (19-51) and Pitt State connected on just eight of 22 3-point field goal attempts (.364).
UAFS got 15 points from Brandon Scott and 14 more from Kanaan Holder.
Pitt State will continue its three-game MIAA road swing by traveling to Tahlequah, Okla., to battle Northeastern State University Saturday (Jan. 3) at the NSU Event Center.
