The Mount St. Joseph Lions used a 16-3 run to open the game en route to a 70-64 victory over the Bluffton University men’s basketball team on Wednesday, Jan. 30. The visitors fell to 9-11 on the season, 5-8 in Heartland Conference play.
The Beavers slipped to seventh in the conference, moving to the outside of the HCAC Tournament picture with just five games remaining. MSJ not only went ahead of Bluffton, but the Lions (7-13, 6-7 HCAC) now hold an important head-to-head tie-breaker over the Beavers by virtue of their season sweep.
