Men's Basketball Tripped up by ERAU

Barry falls for first time to Eagles

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- It didn't play into the type of pace Barry University's men's basketball team was accustomed to here, and the Buccaneers fell to host Embry-Riddle, 86-77, Saturday night at the ICI Center.

Barry had never lost to Embry-Riddle, but the Buccaneers could never get over the hump, and the resurgent Eagles won their second straight Sunshine State Conference game.

SUMMARY:

  • The Buccaneers trailed by seven in the first half before Daniel Mortensen hit a three-pointer in the corner and Kooper Glick had a steal and lay-in to cut it to two. But the Eagles didn't falter the rest of the half, building their lead back to eight going into the break.

  • The Eagles extended their lead back to seven with just over 4:00 remaining. Marko Tomic pulled Barry back to within four, and Sawyer Glick buried a triple from the wing to cut it to three with 2:18 to go.
