Wauwatosa, Wisc. - The ICC men's basketball team (10-4) made their way north for a midweek battle with the Bryant & Stratton Bobcats at Mt. St. Mary's' Bloechl Center for the first of two matchups this season between the two. The Cougars were out-scored by 14 points in the first half. Despite that, a valiant second half effort allowed them to outscore the hosts. Alas, the final score went in favor of Bryant & Stratton by an 83-71 margin. 

The Bobcats started out red hot, taking a 12-0 lead within the game's first five minutes. That lead would eventually swell to 26, but the Cougars were able to regroup offensively and work it back to a 40-26 Bobcat lead after the first half. 

Halftime adjustments were certainly made. From a 35.7% clip from the field in the first half, ICC powered ahead to an impressive 60.7% clip (17-28) in the second half. In fact, the closest (outside of the game's earliest moments) that ICC would get is down to 11 points, but a free throw put the game at its 12-point final score.
