MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Arkansas at Monticello men’s basketball team lost its second straight game with a 51-43 loss to No. 10 Christian Brothers on the road in Gulf South Conference action.
 
Senior Bernard Seymour (Biloxi, Miss.) led the Weevils with 16 points after connecting on 6-of-8 field goal attempts. Senior Raymond Wright (New York, N.Y.) also reached double-digits with 12 points. Wright also grabbed nine rebounds, just one shy of recording a double-double.
 
UAM (16-5, 5-3 GSC) jumped out to a 4-0 lead just two minutes into the contest, but that’s the biggest lead the Weevils held in the contest. CBU (16-5, 5-3 GSC) responded by taking an 11-point lead with eight minutes remaining in the half. The Weevils fought back to create only a four-point deficit at the halftime break.
 
In the second half, UAM was about to take the lead on four different occasions, but never enough to gain a significant advantage.
 
CBU hit 8-of-20 three-pointers in the game, and seemed to make all of them when it either trailed or needed the points to create a sizeable margin.
 
Both teams shot poorly in the contest. UAM shot 36 percent from the field (16-of-45), while CBU hit shots at a 37 percent mark (18-of-49).
 
CBU was led by Reggie Peyton with 16 points. Nick Kohs also reached double-digits with 13 points.
 
The Weevils continue GSC play next Thursday, February 12 with a home contest against Delta State. Tip-off is set for 7:30 at Steelman Fieldhouse in Monticello.
