A young team learns its first hard lesson, as the Ravens can't hold on to a late lead and fall in overtime to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, 95-90.

 

Coffeyville got off to a hot start, leading by 12 points in the first half and taking an eight point lead to the half. However, NEO would continue to claw back all night long, and keep the pressure on an inexperienced CCC team.

 

Assistant coach Jake Odum says the team made some crucial mistakes late.

 

Brian Griffith had his best game as a Raven, scoring 22 points off the bench. Odum says he has the ability to hit big shots for this team.

 

Cris Carroll had 19 points, and Izek Jackson had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

 

The Red Raven men's team will be back in action next Wednesday for a rematch with NEO in Miami.
