The Bulldogs suffered their second straight close loss on the road with a 71-68 setback at Illinois state. It was a bitter sweet night for Bulldog guard Josh Young who became the school’s all time leading scorer with 22 points.
But he missed a free throw with just over a second remaining that would have tied the game. Adam Templeton added 15 points and Frank Wiseler added ten as the Bulldogs fell to 6-7 in the Valley and they are now 11-14 overall.
