In a game where points were at a premium, a 15 point halftime deficit was too much for the Tigers to overcome against a disciplined Liberty Christian team. Hargrave fought back in the second half, cutting the lead to as little as 5 before eventually dropping the 47-38 decision. Defense was key in the Tigers’ comback bid, anchored by Cadet Tim Buchikos (8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks) and Cadet Lyndon Massenburg (4 steals), as they held a talented LCA team to just 15 total points in the second half. Cadet Chris Conrad (10 points) was the lone Tiger to reach double-figures against the stingy LCA defrense.
