Box Score MILWAUKEE, Wisc. - Four Trojans would finish in double figures but it wouldn't be enough, as the TIU Men's Basketball team lost their third consecutive game for the first time since 2015 after falling 95-88 to Cardinal Stritch on Wednesday night.

O'Shae Williams once again led the Trojans offensively, finishing with a team high 21 points. Tyrone Carey added 20 points of his own while Jeremy Carlyle tallied 17 points to round out the top performers for TIU.

The opening frame saw back and forth action from each team, but it was the Wolves who jumped out of the gates quickly, grabbing as much as a 9 point lead midway through the half. With 5:06 to go and CSU leading by 9 the Trojans rallied back to take the lead with less than a minute left.

After a three pointer from Williams and a tipin from Carey, the Trojans took the lead for the first time since the early moments of the game. The Wolves though would take the advantage into the break after a half court buzzer beater gave CSU the 51-49 advantage.

It was all Trojans early in the second half, starting with back to back triples from Carlyle followed by a three point play from Carey that gave the Trojans a 60-57 advantage. After both sides traded baskets Stritch began to pull away midway through the half, knocking down shots and taking as much as a 12 point advantage in the half before sealing a 95-88 victory over TIU.

"We're going to get it right," said Head Coach Boomer Roberts. "Seniors who are in the fight like Sam Schroeder and D.J. Ostrander won't let us feel bad for ourselves. The best is yet to come for this team."

The Trojans look to right the ship this weekend as the travel to Palos Heights to take on Trinity Christian on Saturday.
