CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Scoring droughts and cold shooting haunt the Campbellsville University Tigers men's basketball as they fell to the University of the Cumberlands, 84-63.

The Tigers (13-7, 3-3 MSC) started the night on fire hitting 5-of-7 from beyond the 3-point line but struggled the final 30 minutes of action hitting 3-of-17 the rest of the night. That was the story of the game, as Cumberlands (14-4, 4-1 MSC) used its defense to stymie the Tigers' offense.

After trailing early, 8-3, the Tigers hit four 3-point field goals to take a 23-16 lead into the first media timeout. Both teams went on long scoring droughts in excess of three minutes midway through that first half but it was Ronald Taylor who sparked the Tigers. He ended CU's drought hitting a pull up jumper with just under nine minutes.

Taylor led CU in scoring for the night with 19 points on 3-of-5 3-point shooting, while Richie Mitchell finished with 15.

The Tigers picked up their largest lead of seven, 23-16, with 12:57 left in the first half but it was Cumberlands who threw the final punch and it lasted the rest of the night. With 2:00 left in the first half, Cumberlands regained the lead for the first time since it was 8-5 and ended the frame on a 10-0 run and leading, 38-32.

The second half was all in the Patriots favor as they outscored the Tigers by 15, 46-31.

In the first six minutes of the second half, Cumberlands worked the lead to as large as 12 points, 49-37, forcing coach Brent Vernon to call a timeout. The Tigers answered with a 4-0 run to shave the lead back to eight, 49-41, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Cumberlands pushed the deficit to 14 and UC didn't look back.

Tevin Olison led the Patriots with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Ethan Snapp finished with 15 after hitting 4-of-6 from deep. UC also got 18 rebounds from Caleb Taylor as the Patriots dominated on the boards, 49-37.

Campbellsville will return to action on Thursday, Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. ET as the Tigers host No. 1 Georgetown College.
