Men's Basketball Falters at Home to Concordia

LONGVIEW, Texas -- The LeTourneau men's basketball team led by 13 in the second half, but visiting Concordia rallied late to defeat the YellowJackets, 88-78, in ASC action on Saturday afternoon inside Solheim Arena.

Four players scored in double figures for LeTourneau (3-6, 0-4 ASC) led by Christian Adams' 15 points to go along with five assists and six rebounds. Warren Richardson totaled 14 points and eight rebounds, while Deonte Jackson added 14 points and three assists. John Argue contributed 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting off the bench.

LeTourneau led for over half the game and took a 13-point lead at 53-40 after an Adams bucket with 16:15 left in the game. The YellowJackets still held a seven-point lead a few minutes later on a Richardson basket that made it 57-50.

Concordia (4-4, 2-1 ASC) used a 13-1 run over the next four-plus minutes to gain a 63-58 with 8:07 remaining. Jackson Mayes hit two 3-pointers and had a pair of free throws that helped LeTourneau regain a lead at 71-69 with five minutes left.

The final five minutes, however, belonged to the visiting Tornados. Concordia outscored LeTourneau 19-7 down the stretch to earn the road victory.

LeTourneau shot 51.9 percent (28-of-54) from the field with 10 3-pointers. Concordia connected on 48.5 percent (33-of-68) for the game, but made 54.3 percent in the second half with four 3-pointers in the final 20 minutes.

Antoine Henderson led the Tornados with 24 points off the bench to go with nine rebounds. Jaylon Johnson added 20 points.
