Close Call With Cavs

Southern Nazarene gritted through a tough win over Saint Gregory's

McGloster hit the only two 3-pointers for SNU in the second half.
Box Score BETHANY, Okla. — He may not be the flashiest player on the floor, but Horace McGloster saved No. 23 Southern Nazarene from what would have been a devastating loss. Instead the senior forward scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, and had seven of those in the final 3:33, to lift SNU to a 69-67 win over Saint Gregory's.
 
McGloster had just two points in the first half and was 0-for-3 from the field, but went 6-for-9 in the second half including a pair of 3-pointers. One of those treys came at the 3:33 mark in the second half. The Cavaliers had just taken their first lead of the game at 57-56 with 4:42 to play and pushed it to 59-56 when McGloster kissed a trey off the front of the rim to knot the contest at 59.
 
Then after he grabbed a defensive board on the other end, he got a feed from Daniel White, who had just grabbed an offensive rebound, and gave the lead back to SNU at 61-59 with 2:35 left to play. SGU's Fayzon Richey, who was blanketed all night by the SNU defense, was fouled on a 3-point attempt and hit all three free throws to give the lead back to the Cavs.
 
Ryan Aaron, who scored a game-high 19 points, threw down a monstrous dunk to regain the lead for SNU and then McGloster gave the Storm a 65-62 lead with 1:17 left with another jumper. The Storm then hit just enough free throws down the stretch for the win.
 
The win snapped a three-game skid for the Crimson Storm and avenged an earlier loss at SGU. Aaron went 7-for-9 from the field and 5-for-6 at the charity stripe. He also added eight rebounds. McGloster had five boards to go with two steals and a block. White also added nine points, four rebounds and four assists.
 
SNU shot 42.3 percent from the field and were 20-for-25 (80.0 percent) from the charity stripe. The Storm made the most of all 13 SGU turnovers, scoring 17 points off of those miscues.
 
The Storm will now get set to make the trek up towards the panhandle when to travels to Northwestern Oklahoma State, Thursday, at 6 p.m.
