If Luther was riding high fresh off their 79-46 takedown of Marietta last Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Luther Lions fell 57-50 to the Crescent Tigers on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Lions can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 220th, while the Tigers are ranked 104th).
When it comes to explaining why Luther lost, don't look at Gavin Milligan. Despite the final result, he went 7 for 8 en route to 20 points and five rebounds. Another player making a difference was Brady Roy, who posted five points and four steals.
Luther has traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last eight games, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season. As for Crescent, with the victory, they broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 14-5.
Luther wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next contest, a 44-42 loss against Garber on the 1st. As for Crescent, a feisty cat fight is on tap when the Crescent Tigers take on the Morrison Wildcats at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Morrison knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past eight matches -- so hopefully Crescent likes a good challenge.
