Bellevue College men’s basketball suffered two tough blows in a heartbreaking 58-57 loss to host Lower Columbia. After scoring 40 points in the first half the Bulldogs were held to just 17 in the second half as Lower Columbia out-rebounded BC 22-9. The ball control was a flip of the first half in which Bellevue shot 50% and out-rebounded the Red Devils 23-13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BC’s first tough pill to swallow was surrendering a commanding 40-22 lead in the second half and were up by double digits at 46-36 at the 12:05 mark. Bellevue went scoreless for four minutes as the Red Devils got the game to a respectable margin. The 14-4 run by LC kept going as they would eventually tie the score at 50 with 5:01 remaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final five minutes were neck and neck before Max Mayo clutched up with two free throws with 1:34 remaining to put the ‘dogs up 57-54. A bucket by the Red Devils would bring them to within one as a desperation foul put Bellevue’s Isaiah White at the line. White’s free throw was off the mark and for a brief moment seemed it wouldn’t matter as LC’s Kap Laila missed a chance to win it. Red Devil David Young was there though as time expired for the put back buzzer beater off an offensive rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mayo led Bellevue with 15 points. Bellevue is now 5-8 and will travel to Highline on Fri. Jan. 3. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
