COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 15, 2012) – The Sewanee men's basketball team could not hold off a late run by Colorado College, falling to the Tigers, 68-60, Sunday afternoon inside the El Pomar Sports Center.
Down by five late in the first half, Sewanee (8-6, 3-4 SCAC) began its initial comeback when senior
Trent Williams connected on a three with 4:30 remaining. After two Colorado College field goals, sophomore
Valentino Bryant pulled the Tigers to within four, 32-28, with a free throw with three minutes left in the half. Moments later, Sewanee would cap off the comeback after sophomore
Robert Veal, Williams, and Bryant combined for a 6-1 run heading into the intermission.
After seeing its lead grow to eight, 49-41, midway through the second half, Sewanee's offense started to slow. As a result, with 4:06 left, Colorado took the lead after a Ian Rewoldt jumper. On the ensuing play, Sewanee briefly tied the contest, 55-55, when Veal answered with a jumper of his own.
Unfortunately, that would be as close as Sewanee got. Colorado finished on a 13-5 run, the final three minutes of play, to end any chance of a Sewanee win.
For the game, Sewanee shot 49 percent from the floor. The Tigers also finished with 29 rebounds and 11 assists.
