[Men's Basketball] Tigers fall in semifinals

Georgetown College men's basketball had a sluggish start – 14 points in 20 minutes – and fell in the Mid-South Conference tournament semifinals to Thomas More University. The Saints opened up a large lead in the first half and held on for a 65-49 win.

GC took a couple of early leads, but with just more than 14 minutes left TMU tied the game at seven. The Tigers managed just two made baskets and three free throws in that final stretch as the Saints (16-8) opened up a 22-point edge.

The two seeded team mounted a second half rally and when Derrin Boyd hit a three, the deficit was eight with more than 10 minutes left to play.

Thomas More had the answer again as GC went scoreless for another three minutes. The lead grew back to double-digits and never got closer.
