• Long range shooting kept the Roos in the game with sophomore Malaki Smith hitting a trey off a Streb pass with 11:52 left in regulation (57-48).
• Streb finished the old-fashioned three-point play with a layup and free throw off of a foul with less than two minutes remaining, but it was not enough to overcome the Mustangs big second half and the Roos dropped the game 89-68.
