Bulldogs out of SCIAC postseason contention…
With Saturday’s 70-64 loss to Cal Lutheran University, the University of Redlands men’s basketball team is out of contention for the four-team Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Postseason Tournament.
It has been a tough couple of games for the Bulldogs, who have lost their last four SCIAC games. Two of the losses have come in overtime and all have the losses have been by seven points or less.
Senior guard Dave Thomas led the Bulldogs (10-14, 5-8 SCIAC) with 18 points, followed by 11 apiece from Patrick Coffey and Dan Selway.
It was Senior Night for the Bulldogs, who honored four seniors (Thomas, Daniel Markus, Justin Omalev, Matt Loretz) on the night.
The Bulldogs will conclude the 2007-08 season on Tuesday night at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. They will look to play spoiler against the Stags, who currently hold the fourth and final spot for the SCIAC tourney.
Cal Lutheran, Occidental and Pomona-Pitzer are already locks for the tournament, with CMS, Whittier and La Verne fighting for the last spot.
