ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The University of Arkansas at Monticello men’s basketball team suffered its fourth straight loss with a 64-54 setback to Ouachita Baptist on Saturday evening in GSC play.
 
The Weevils (16-7, 5-5 GSC) were held to only 16 first half points, making a comeback difficult. UAM did outscore OBU (13-10, 3-7 GSC) 38-32 in the second half, but the first half deficit proved to be too much, resulting in the loss.
 
UAM was led by 14 points from senior Deron Brown (Paris, Ky.). Brown nailed 6-of-14 field goal attempts, including 2-of-6 from three-point range. Senior Bernard Seymour (Biloxi, Miss.) and sophomore D’Angelo Dean (Cincinnati, Ohio) also reached double-digits in the loss, scoring 11 and 10 points, respectively.
 
OBU was paced by a game-high 17 points from Daniel Maddox. Teammate Rowan Ledbetter also reached double-digits with 10 points.
 
Both teams ended the game with a 21-of-49 performance from the field. One of the key factors to OBU’s win was points from the foul line. OBU nailed 16-of-27 attempts from the charity stripe, while UAM only attempted 10 shots, making four.
 
The Weevils continue GSC play on the road this Thursday, February 19 with another trip to Arkadelphia to face Henderson State. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.
