PASADENA, Texas – The Blinn men's basketball team was able to control the game with its offense in spurts here Wednesday night, but the San Jacinto Ravens took the game.
San Jacinto, behind a late run in the second half, bested the Buccaneers 90-78 in Region XIV action.
"I was pleased that we were able to play to our tempo offensively, but San Jacinto got loose and hit some threes to pull away," Blinn (13-9, 4-8) coach Scott Schumacher said.
The Ravens used a late run to take a 10-point lead at halftime, 42-32, after the Bucs had cut their lead to one point. In the second half, after Blinn made it an eight-point game with 5:39 to play, San Jacinto sparked another rally to pull away.
Sophomore Macari Brooks scored 24 points, and Cornell Barnett and Jalan McCloud each scored 12.
