LONGVIEW,
Texas - The Concordia Texas men's basketball team outlasted LeTourneau University on the road in a 105-102 contest.
Joey Ramirez,
Percy Green and
Aaron San Miguel combined for 79 points inside Solheim Arena on Tuesday.
The Tornados used offensive efficiency to see their lead grow to as much as 16 points in the first half where they shot 66.7 percent from the field.
With a 56-43 lead for CTX coming out of the break, the Yellowjackets would begin to chip away at their deficit. LETU would then tie the game up at 78-all with a little over eight minutes remaining.
With the game remaining close for the rest of the game, an offensive board by
Cameron Thompson resulted in a corner three that San Miguel knocked down to put Concordia up 98-95 with 1:51 left. Concordia would not trail or be tied again to leave the SCAC's Blue Division leader's gym with a win.
