Box Score ST. JOSEPH, MO. - The Missouri Western men let a nine-point halftime lead slip away in an 83-77 overtime loss to Embry-Riddle in the SCB Hall of Fame Classic.  Q Mays led MWSU with 28 points (10-22 FG), 5 assists and 5 rebounds, while Will Eames added 14 points and 17 rebounds in the season-opener, part of an eight team tournament hosted by the St. Joseph Civic Arena. 

The Griffons controlled the first half, leading by as many as 13 points, but Embry Riddle answered with an early second half run to pull even in a back-and-forth late game affair.  The Griffons struggled from the free-throw line (16-29) in the loss.  

The turnaround time is a short one, as the Griffons will face 8th-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas on Sunday night in the final game of the SCB Classic.  Tip time is set for 7:45.
