Box Score PORTSMOUTH, Ohio - Shawnee State couldn't score at the beginning and Campbellsville couldn't at the end. The result: The Bears 50, Tigers 42 in the second MSC game for CU.
 

Ian Nixson canned a 3-pointer with 1:40 left and Mark Bryant added an old-fashioned three-point play with 32 seconds left that propelled the Bears to the eight-point win. 

"We're void of leadership right now," said Coach Keith Adkins. "We need a defensive leader, a rebound leader and an emotion leader."

It was a pedestrian effort for CU (6-2, 1-1) which scored 22 points in the second half after only 20 in the first. The Tigers were led by Cedric Henderson's 18 points. No other Tiger reached double figures.

CU gave up 16 offensive rebounds and shot only 27 percent in the second half and 28 for the game. Campbellsville, averaging 65 points per game, was 4-21 from 3 and 10-15 free throws. SSU wasn't much better from the field, hitting 28 percent, but had three more 3s than the Tigers.

"We have guys who hang their heads when they're not getting shots, and we don't need that," said Adkins. "Some nights you just don't get shots and you play and do other things."

Shawnee (6-2, 2-1) was led by Ian Nixon's 12 points. He was joined in double figures by Tyler Boyles' 11. Nixson's 3 busted open a nip-and-tuck game and gave SSU a 43-40 lead that proved to be all they needed.
