RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Seattle U men's basketball could not slow a hot California Baptist offense Wednesday night at the CBU Events Center, dropping an 84-63 decision to the Lancers.
The Redhawks (18-9, 9-5 WAC) scored the first bucket of the night, but CBU then rolled off 22 straight points over a nearly nine-minute span. Seattle U got no closer than 11 the remainder of the night.
Riley Grigsby finished with a game-high 23 points and Cameron Tyson had 17, but no other Redhawk reached double figures.
The Lancers (15-12, 7-7 WAC) hit 50 percent from the field and featured a balanced attack. Tre Armstrong and Hunter Goodrich had 15 points apiece while Taran Armstrong and Riley Battin added 12 each.
Emeka Udenyi collected four rebounds on the night, hitting the 500 mark for his career with his defensive rebound at the 28 second mark of the first half.
Seattle U returns home Saturday, hosting WAC leader Utah Valley in a 7 p.m. tilt at the Redhawk Center. Game tickets can be purchased online at goseattleu.com/tix or by calling the Seattle U Athletics Ticket Office at 206-398-GOSU.
