The host Tigers (12-11) fell victim to the Crimsons (15-8, #14 Courier-Journal Litkenhous Rankings) early "hothand" as they made their first seven shots of the game.

The Tigers clawed their way back to within one point 55-54 with 3:58 left in the game, but the Crimson led by Sean Samsel with 23 points, Alec Nikolic 16, Bruce Bell 11, and Miles Mitchell 10 went on an 8-0 run to put the game away.

Matt Lohr led the Togers with 10 points.

 

Nice win for the Crimsons on St X's home floor. Manual is improving every game they play and are starting to put it all together. Manual worked the ball really well on offense and shot 60% for the game and 54.5% from the 3 point line. St X played solid defense most of the game, but only turned Manual over 8 times.
