CHARLESTON, South Carolina – The Marist men's basketball team suffered an 82-75 loss to Army West Point in the championship game of the Papa John's Bulldog Bash on Saturday night.
 
Junior guard Brian Parker and red-shirt sophomore forward Aleksandar Dozic were named to the All-Tournament Team.
 
Summary
  • Sophomore center Tobas Sjoberg scored the Red Foxes' first four points, but a layup by Army West Point's Matt Wilson at the 18:04 mark of the first half gave the Black Knights a 5-4 lead. Army West Point did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way.

  • A 14-5 run over a span of nearly seven minutes in the second half brought the Red Foxes to within five with 12:28 remaining.
  • A three-pointer by Dozic with 7:23 to play brought Marist to within four, but the Red Foxes drew no closer. Army West Point maintained a lead between five and nine points over the final seven minutes.

Quote of the Day
"We don't start games the right way," head coach Mike Maker said. "We don't deliver the first blow, and then we have to fight back, but I credit our kids for showing resiliency. If we can get out of the gate better, we can win games like this."
 
Records
Marist is now 1-7. Army West Point is 5-2.
